I use a credit card every month and have never not paid it in full. Not once in 52 years. I get to use someone else's money for anywhere from 15-45 days. And yes, I get free airline miles. And being a 73 year old multi-millionaire, I can afford all the other costs of vacations. I have also used miles to book flights for friends and family especially when there is an emergency.
So what is wrong with this? One size does not fit all. Your mileage may vary.

I think Dave disagrees with the strategy because the temptation to get into debt is so easy. But if you are disciplined and only charge what you would've charged on your debit card then it can make sense for some people: utilities, insurance, groceries, gas, etc. I actually take the 2% I accumulate and apply it to my balance every few months.

3k a month on groceries, diapers, gas, parking, household items (stuff I'd buy with a debit card regardless) I pay in full EVERY month and pay $0.00 interest and $0.00 annual fee. I get 2% cash back. Dave is TOTALLY WRONG about this one, and calling people stupid because of it shows he's been too rich for too long and no longer can relate to everyday Americans.

The problem with the Chuck E Cheese analogy is that I don't HAVE to spend money there. However, I HAVE to buy groceries, I HAVE to pay utilities, I HAVE to pay for my phone and internet. If CC companies want to give me points for spending money on necessities I would've otherwise paid cash for, be my guest. That's money I don't have to spend later when redeeming for flights, hotels, and meals while sharing experiences with my family and friends. Additionally, what factual evidence did Dave actually provide against paying off CC other than calling his viewers "arrogant"? When you start name calling, you know you lost the argument.

To each their own, Dave. I'm a self-employed IT consultant who used to do things your way. I have multiple credit cards that offer rewards, and most do not have annual fees. I just read my 2023 Amex report, and it shows that I earned $1,921 in rewards from purchasing fuel, groceries, and business expenses with the card. You always miss that neither I nor others carry balances and pay ridiculous interest amounts. The balance gets paid in full each month, and I reap the reward of this money. $1,921 may seem like a little money, but it covers my entire auto insurance bill for the year. Who in their right mind wouldn't take advantage of this free money when done correctly? Thankfully, I'm doing fine and won't be eating beans and rice, rice, and beans. :)

When he says “you need to spend $1000 to get $20 off” is completely missing the point. I’m going to spend that $1000 regardless on bills, groceries, food, etc.. if I can get an extra $20 off then hey why not
