Anyone else go crazy with credit card rewards?

Just checked out my Discover card that I put every penny on it possible. I'll get a check for over $1,700 from Discover in February and I haven't paid a penny in interest to them.

Niiiiiice! I have a Hilton Honors card that I rack up hotel points on.

That'll be a nice Christmas fixer, Duane. Congratulations!!!

Yikes! I am happy to get the $50 Home Depot Giftcard to buy toilet paper and batteries a few times a year.

It's crazy to think of the amount of money I put on the card to get to that point. The scale starts earning me 2% once I've put $10k on it for the year.

I have a Delta Skymiles card that I use primarily. Now I just need to actually use the miles I've accumulated.

Nice, now you could buy me a super nice christmas present. Thanks in advance.

I recently got a PS3 for $100 with a new Sony Rewards card. They gave me $200 in credit after a my first purchase.

Too bad it cost me another $200 in games and accessories. Damn you game consoles!

My VISA through my credit union has a rewards program; I use it for everything and we use the reward points for air-travel (no black-outs or anything because it's all managed by the credit union). Round-trip to Orlando for three in January
