I have literally gone from paying with debit every single time to paying with credit every single time. I never pay anything with cash or debit anymore including my rent. I've accumulated $1,350 this month, BUT that includes $1000 in welcome bonuses.

That's exactly how I am. If I could pay my mortgage and car notes on it I would too! 


You can....just may not be cost effective:

People were also paying their mortgages through Bluebird (not sure if this still works)


Well, my mortgage through my credit union requires direct deposit.

You guys put some serious use on your cards lol. I got 18$ back on my discover this month and thought I was rich!

it's not how much you put through credit cards, but how much you keep in the bank that counts.

In the last 11 months including bonuses I've accumulated
220,000 UR's (155,000 bonus)
160,000 MRs (130,000 bonus)
$3,000 cash back from discover ($1500 mainly from 10% Apple Pay promo then doubled for double cash promo although I won't receive this second $1500 until June)
50,000 SPG points (30,000 bonus)
and a few thousand other random points

Should have a value of around $8-10,000 and I haven't churned a single card. Just started getting into rewards about 12 months ago...I'm sure next year won't be as lucrative, not planning on closing any but maybe need to add a Citi card or 3 Smiley Happy

Isn't the max you can get from Apple Pay is only 1000? How did you get 1500?

Just cashed in 700 dollars on Citi DC, 400 on Discover and 250 on Amex for 2015 +2 months of 2016 usage. Those are the only three cash back cards I have. The biggest one this year was about 80k UR points.

My wife and I both got a new discover card this year and that $3000 is actually a combo of the 2. It was actually about $800 from Apple Pay on my card and $400 on hers and then about $300 from 5% and portal purchases.

Re: Most cash back in a year

I'm not gonna cash in any discover cash back until my double hits next February. Hopefully I'll have around $500 after the double. And you guys are over here talking about $10000 lmao

Re: Most cash back in a year

I would be so excited if Discover did another type of bonus like last quarter of last year. I basically didn't buy anything unless I was getting some kind of amazing deal by using Apple Pay or the 5%. With the doubling it really is just nuts. I will have gotten a total of 30% cash back at Macy's. I also got work done on my car and used Apple Pay for an end result of 22% off. Truly amazing.

Do people wait to cash out their cash back? I use it instantly because I like feeling like I'm getting something every month.

Re: Most cash back in a year

Yup I wait for mine. I try to think of it like a mini savings account and usually redeem once a year to get a nice little chunk of change
