Sorry, I meant that you pay for everything by card, rather than cash, so if you were to earn miles / cashback on card purchases, that would work well for you. I didn't mean that you run up/carry a balance.
k - i'm just making that pretty damn clear b/c your statement seemed to imply that i was financially irresponsible by just charging everything so i felt, in my defense, i should object. i did get that you probably didn't mean what it sounded like or i would have called you up immediately :OP
to clarify, i was nearly mugged in philly just trying to get cash out of an atm. it was all the money i had to get home b/c i was a broke college student. it freaked me out so i stopped carrying cash and started using the debit card - also b/c it shows up on my statement and gives me some ability to backtrack for expenditures b/c i hate actually balancing my checkbook or keeping track of every nickel and dime. i have my own vague system for keeping track of dough which works well for me. however, i have adopted a habit of using the debit card wherever i go which is rather annoying in places that only take cash or worse, checks. who the heck carries around their checkbook these days?! it's too big to fit in a back pocket or tiny purse?
we can look into finding a card that gives us miles - i do have a lot of miles as it is tho?
