i put everything on them and i pay my balance every month. i get 1% cash back on both -- sometimes more -- discover offers more for different things. it's nice to make money on them. the only time i use cash is for gratuities in the nail salon and hair salon. i check my cards on-line every day to make sure everything is "kosher". i also check my bank balances every day.

also have an "old navy" card. for every $100 spent i get a coupon for $5.00 off.

i have an american express card for costco, but i rarely go there.

recently checked my credit score and it was 801.
