It was 5 days at Disneyland and 2 days at Universal but I didn't include that last part because they didn't offer the 2 day Universal pass through points so I had to pay out of pocket. And there's plenty to occupy your time for 5 days at Disneyland. We were there almost open to close each day except the last day we called it early to transition to our Universal hotel and we were Disneyd out
Also, getting to hang on to your money for an extra month between when you make a purchase and when you pay off your cc is time you get to earn passive income via interest/investment. That's the shit that really adds up over time.
I mean, ya, I'm not saying credit cards aren't useful, I'm saying there's consequences of using them people don't realize.
If you're responsible with it, it can be an incredibly useful tool. I'm not saying I only use cash, just in certain circumstances, and increasingly more often.
I mean, ya, but kinda missing the point here. That money is coming from the vendor, of which you're getting a portion from the card company.
Large companies idgaf, I'll sqeeze them for all they're worth, chances are they're just building it into the cost anyway.
It's the small business and waitstaff that suffer the most as a result, and they usually pay higher fees on top of that, even if you get the same back regardless.
By using a credit card, you're taking extra money from the vendors by proxy. Personally, I like supporting local businesses, and want to ensure what I paid is actually going to them.
I maybe get $300-$600 a year in money back. I'll maybe lose out on $100 of that using cash for local purchases and tips. Worth it IMO.

I paid for an entire disneyland trip with cc points, flights for 3, hotel, and park tickets for a week. That shit really adds up.
