We have a credit card that gives 6% cash back on groceries, 3% on gas and some discounts on streaming services. It blows my mind that every few months I can cash out a $200 or so credit towards my balance. I needed to buy those things anyway and have autopay set to the full balance each month so it really is free money. So if you can get one, absolutely a credit card that gives cash back. The one I mentioned is Amex Blue Cash Preferred but there other options out there that give other bonuses, like 2% back on everything or 6% back on something up to a certain cap.

Credit cards are an excellent tool IF you are responsible with credit.

And almost nobody is, or the credit card companies would be broke instead of trillionaires.

Cc companies make most of their money from the fees they charge merchants.

And they make a shit ton more money on interest charged for balances carried.

That's literally the opposite of what I said. You can't make "more" than "most of". Christ this site is dumb
