HelpMe, if you dont mind me asking, is cash back your primary income? (honest q)

He recently posted that he does the cc cb game as a full time job, so I'm assuming its his primary income. 

Unless there's more that we don't know about  ;)

You can play the CC game as a full time job and it still won't be your primary income.....
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Usually primary income comes from your full time job.

No matter how much value you get from points/miles/cash back do not ever consider it and more importantly rely on it as your primary income. It is incidental income that is here today and can be gone tomorrow.

The same can be said for most anyones income. Hence why we pray to Gd 3 times a day and tithe our earnings.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

The problem with cash back cards is you have to be able to exploit them. Once you talk about ways to exploit them it usually results in those techniques getting shut down right away. The best card right now would be the Amex BCP. A nice 6% on groceries. You can buy Visa GC’s with it and net 5% on all spending.

For the average person spend categories on certain cards is the way to go especially if you are using the points/miles. Did I really just say that? That DO really messed me up.
