Now, some places are charging 4% extra for using a credit card. This cancels out the points. You have to be mindful. It’s bullshite btw.

I’ve seen this maybe twice, both at a mom and pop stores. Companies like AMEX bend them over and they like promote themselves as small business friendly.

The only reason my debit card ever comes out is for ATM withdrawals.

I get $400 in travel credits, free TSA, free airport lounge access, free baggage etc…and all have to do is clear my balance monthly.

Then special in other spends…my marriott card when staying there to get the bonus…

Amex gives 3% back on groceries etc
