    I think I get what you mean, but for anyone else reading: Get cash back rewards!

    I use my credit card for literally every single purchase I would normally make, paying bills and all, and I get between 1.5%-3% back. Obviously you never let interest accrue you just pay it off right away, but every few months I get essentially free money, usually $200+!

      I do this, but recently had the realization that my small percentage of cash back is sourced from the fee the credit card company charges to the vendor. After this realization I now prefer to pay cash when dealing with small local businesses. I’ve even found a few places that will give you a discount for not using a credit card which is quite nice.

        What is an " “everyone should” thing"?

        They’re giving advice about someone a lot of people don’t know about, not sure what you’re implying they’re doing.
