MeMeMeMeME!

A co-worker and really good friend came to me at school today to tell me she didn't have enough gas to pick up her child and get to the bank.  (She's having some life issues at the moment.)  I gave her the keys to the car to get a card out my wallet and told her in which order I would prefer her to pick.  "Don't use the BofA Amex, it's still at zero, avoid Target Visa, but you're welcome to take Disc Doggie Bones and then Travelocity MC as a backup!"

I'm even making my friends use my rewards appropriately!

Yep, I use rewards cards for absolutely everything except rent, electric, and natural gas (only because rent doesn't accept them and electric and natural gas charge convenience fees that are higher than the rewards I would receive).

Yes I remember figuring the difference.  I was so sad when I couldn't pay the gas bill with the card.  They need to fix this!

Say what?  What electric company?  I have never had any utility charge a fee for using a CC.  And I have paid rent with a CC at a big apartment complex I lived in while in Seattle.  Now that's some good rewards.

ConEdison in NYC.  I think the fee is like $4.95.  If I regularly had electric bills greater than $165 I'd be all over it with Chase Freedom @ 3% cashback.

Same here, especially electronics rewards... lol!!   Have the same problem with the utilities. 5.95 convenience fee to pay by CC.  They get auto-debited from checking.

Yeah the utility co I work for has the same 4.95 fee. It's actually charged by the company that processes CC payments (Speedpay, which is probably also the one your utility co uses), not by us. anywho, I also LOVE my rewards.
