Totally worth all the pain and agony of paying all my debt and rebuilding my credit. Today i decided to order Chinese takeout for the employees and I. I gave the lady my CSP, she swiped the machine, and proceeded to hand the card back. She was like "wow this card so heavy, you must have plenty money". I said, plently debt and no money. Yeah, she was working me for that tip. Either way, much better than paying with that old crusty debit card. 
Oh I love it when people use credit card flattery to try to get my money lol
I had this one lady at Coach compliment me for like 3 minutes straight on my responsible building of my credit after I paid using my AMEX BCE.
I see what you're doing there. I'm young but I'm not stupid
