$8000 for new hardwood floors on Chase Freedom ($140 cash back due to bonus category). Paid in full 2 weeks later.
Before that, it was a little over $7,000 in tuition on my AmEx every semester for the last 3 years. She graduated last Friday ![]()

Oh, I see. This is the 'brag about how much expendable income' you have thread.
Probably a vacation, if that counts as a single purchase. I don't own any Rolexes.

We paid it off in full before it was due, but it was a nice way to kick that amount down the road for about 30 days.
Sorry to get off topic. Seeing a post by LynetteM caught me off guard!!
You have been away for a long time. Is the nursing career keeping you extra busy?

Two years ago, when my son was 16, I purchased him a used car on my Discover card for $17,000. The dealer did not want me to pay by CC but relented when I was prepared to walk if they did not allow me to pay by CC. Interestingly, they did break up the charge into two charges of $8500 each. Not sure why.
Once posted to my account I paid Discover in full.
