What's you favorite card for funneling all your Auto Bill Pay(s) through. What Bills do you route to it (them), and what your Reward Gain per month.

Mine is the Quicksilver Visa Siggy, I send all of my Auto Pay Bills thought it, and I collect almost 25-30$ worth of Cash Back every cycle.

- Cable/Internet/Phone

- Verizon Wireless

- ADT

- OnStar

- Netflix

- Sirus XM Subscription

- Mothers Cable Bill

- DD Cable/Internet @ College

- WSJ/NYT/Wash Post Digital Subscriptions

- MyFico

- Transunion

- Mothers Sprint Bill

- Gym Memberships

- TiVO Service

- Dropbox

- NJ Transit Quick Tik (Monthly Pass)

And Believe it or not I have all of my Auto Payments hit my QS all within a 2 week window between the 22nd and 7th of the month so then I have a 2 week window to PIF before my Statement Cuts.

My utility auto-pays are all on my Barclays Reward card (which gives me 2% cash back).

Those are all the bills I pay.

Out of the bills I pay (girlfriend pays some), I put phone bill and electric through Barclay Rewards (2x points) and everything else goes through Quicksilver (1.5x points), except for one small one on other non-used cards (like myFico goes through Citi Diamond) so they get used every month.

Just got approved for Discover, so once I get that I'll have to take another look at my stratagy.

Nearly everything recurring that I pay for goes through QS1. I used the BCE to pay for storage twice, but that was to put some more use on that CC.

For Auto Bill Pay

I use my oldest ('99) for a monthly webhosting bill.

The rest go on my Fidelity Amex.

Currently I've moved stuff around to help speed up hitting 3 card signup bonuses, but will eventually move back to the Fidelity Amex.

This is my strategy as well. I've found my two "everyday" cards are Sallie Mae and BCE so I don't put any auto pay bills on these two.

I have one or more bills going through all my other general cards to keep them "active". Mortgage is the only bill left I do not run through my credit cards (fees + hassle > rewards/cash back, so I don't think it's worth it right now)
