My wife and I try to make as many of our purchases as possible using credit cards because we get at least 1% back in stuff. It's sad that the merchant eats at least 1.5%, but it's not my problem (although I will offer greenbacks to small business owners). We've never carried a balance, and the credit card companies haven't done much scamming for fees. I guess we're seen as more powerful than someone who needs a credit line, so they know that even a little bit of gaming will cause us to cancel the account. Interestingly, Revolution revoked our card. I'd used it exactly once when Buy.com was offering $50 off a purchase for signing up. I guess they decided that it wasn't worth it to carry our credit line on their books (and make themselves appear to be in a more risky financial state as a result) when we weren't revenue generating.
