Why? If you get points for every purchase, why not charge everything
you can? That's what I do.
This does assume you have the discipline to pay off your cards
every month.
Or get a charge card that gives points. But I'm still not in favour of
generating piles of paper and statement entries for what are in essence
petty cash transactions.
My wife got a free trip to Japan last years using the points from
those petty transactions. For that I can deal with a few slips of paper.
You must eat an awful lot of hamburgers. A trip to Japan is probably
worth at least $30k dollars of spending.
And it's not really "free": we all pay for it with inflated pricing.
Not to mention bloated bodies and flabby tummies. But poor diet is
good business for hospitals.
