Spin off of credit card rewards discussion. Searched but couldn’t find where this was mentioned.

Currently, have a Citi double cash card that I use for everything less rent and truck note. I pay my credit card in full at the end of each month. The card has cash advance fees that out way the 2% cash back.

How do you recommend I take advantage of credit card rewards to pay for rent and my truck note?

Has anyone purchased a money order or prepaid card each month to pay for similar expenses?

Generally you can't.

This. Even where you can, you will run into 3+% fees that outweigh the cash back/reward gain

I just got into churning last year. What I have learned is their are a lot of people out their that obsess over how to churn. Pretty much any question or idea you have has been answered on reddit churning. I read a lot of the threads over their and I still don’t understand what they are talking about sometimes. I’m a rookie but will be in Kaua‘i in a couple of weeks thanks to churning.

as there is normally a small fee for both in addition to your time I just dont see how you are going to come out ahead enough to justify it.

I know it costs $1.65 for a $1000 money order at the post office. With 2% cash back, that would be $18.35 cash back each month. I don’t know if you can use credit to purchase a money order though

It costs more than 2% to pay my rent with a credit card. So I don't.
