The money advice I would give a younger version of myself falls into two categories: “What were you thinking?” Or put yet another trip to Las Vegas on the credit card. My rewards credit cards were feeble, and I didn’t have a plan for using them. Now, my focus looks a little forward.

And because I am a member of CVS’s pharmacy rewards, I get a $5 credit for every 10 prescriptions I fill there. This $0 prescription triggered a $5 reward, so yay! So I only spent $1 out of pocket, and I didn’t even touch my $5 reward. ? But still, it’s kinda nice that the 10th was free.

Credit Card Cash Back Redemptions in April: $439.62. Years ago during our Debt Freedom Plan, I avoided using credit cards, not because we had credit card debt, but I was trying to limit our overall spending. However, once we paid off all of that debt, I started playing the credit card game.

And of course, I used a gift card from my Erie YourTurn rewards to pay for the remaining 50%, so this was $0 out of pocket. I love it when I can stretch my gift cards! I give the revamp a 10/10. Sooo, I walked to the nearest one in the airport, opened my app, and oooh, there was a coupon for 50% off a coffee.

I would be doubtful too if someone told me that, but the truth is that it’s rather easy to do if you have a rewards credit card and work hard to maximize your earning potential with it. It’s a pretty typical rewards card and the airline ones do just about the same. Use your card and you get points.

Do you reward for service in advance? I am also very curious if service people receive 100% of the tips given via credit cards and apps. I want to reward good service, but I feel like everyone’s hand is out. I don’t use DoorDash, but I find this problematic. What is considered a good tip?

Side Note #1: I do not advocate the use of credit cards unless you are able to pay off the balance every month so as not to incur fees and charges.

As I read financial blogs, I find that a lot of bloggers seem to like to pay for everything with their credit card. You can get rewards or cash back , the credit card company tracks all your purchases for you and may even show you a yearly statement indicating the percents you spent on that card in various categories.

Strategy: Use Your Credit Card. While it can’t be helped with the mortgage payment, and while I have the car and student loan payments deducted from my checking account, there are some smaller, recurring expenses that can be charged to a credit card and then discharged once a month. Do you use automatic bill pay?

In addition to stealing credit card numbers , Target now admits that thieves were able to also get people’s names, mailing addresses, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers. If you prefer to use credit cards for the convenience as well as the credit card rewards, you may instead choose to freeze your credit.
