I actually use the BofA Cash Rewards card quite heavily, especially since you can now choose among several 3 percent reward categories.  The Amex card only sees occasional use since it only gives 2X MR points;  used mainly for non-category spend.

Thanks for the info. Do you let your balance report before PIF?

The way I use my credit cards is that I typically will PIF on the either the Payment Due or Statement Close date of the current month.  I forgo the  21-25 day float period and basically use my cards as debit cards.  So, for example, I will pay my Discover card down to zero on May 5 even though the charges for April are not required to be paid until June 5. That practice gives me flexibility to chose not to pay immediately on a given month. 

 

But when I have a new "High Balance" I allow the card to report the entire amount even if I can pay it off.  To me, it demonstrates to the lender, or anyone else reviewing my credit report, that I genuinely need the limit(s) I have.
