I totally agree. I use one credit card to put almost all my monthly expenses on. Even car insurance, cell phone, and satallite bill go on there. Then I get 3% back on gas, and 1% back on everything else. Best of all it just credits my bill every month with the cash back. I love free money. Its usually $10-30 a month.

But as mentioned, credit cards don't have an advantage if you don't totally pay them off every month.
