Yea def. take advantage of reward programs. I have the same card you're talking about, but I mainly got it cos they were initially offering 3% or 5% back on gas!!! Unfortunately within a few months of opening that account they scaled that category back big time, I think maybe 1% now, so it's barely worth it for me.

I've been using Discover lately. I keep a Visa/MC as backup since not everyone accepts Discover, but I took advantage of the CircuitCity bonus when I bought my LCD tv and got an instant ~$200 cashback bonus. I can use it towards my balance or get extra rewards from tons of places. I used to go to Starbucks a lot - now I just order a rewards card for it and voila, I'm drinking coffee and not paying a dime for it Same with some restaurants.

If you got a CC that's not giving you anything back, switch to something that does.
