re: How fast do you blow up your CC each month past $1K

We use CCs for everything...have one paying 10% back for any purchase currently. We pay the balance every 14 days. Usually around $2500 but sometimes as high as $4K or as low as $700-$800. It is kind of like playing poker with chips instead of cash though...makes it far easier to justify spending when you don't have to pull out the cash.

I use a personal card for corporate travel to collect miles. I charge probably $1500-$2,000 on it every two weeks for travel alone (Flight, Hotel, Car, food, etc.).

I probably also spend another 1,500-2,000 a month for bills that allow me to pay with a CC, and incidentals like groceries, gas, etc.

All in, I probably charge 7-8,000k a month. I do pay it off monthly though, so no recurring debt!
