then the amazon card, i just use it and use the points to make free purchases. like i have a new track ball coming to me this week along with a few balls for my kids. i spent $0.  |
Points expire though, don't they?

Def. gas would be my biggest purchase each month.

If it's just gas, etc. I can see paying it off every month, but if it's a big purchase (say exhaust + HFCs) I pay that off over a few months. Sure, there's a few bucks interest, but it's easier on the wallet.
