I use my rewards cards and really don't see the point of carrying cash since I don't do vending machines etc. It is a bit of a hassle when I do come to a place that does not accept cash...like when I just had to go to the hospital to see my mom and the place to get the parking passes only took checks or cash. I have not used my check book in AGES and it is probably covered in dust right now. Luckily I got a free pass that day....and then went to the bank to get cash to buy passes the next day.

More often than not it is for chipping in a coworkers birthday gift or something similar. I find that I am just as frugal regardless of the method of payment, so it is in my best interest to stick to the ccs for rewards.

I always try and keep a small amount ($15) in my wallet and that will last me a long time. I used to put "just one or two" items per month on my credit card... then forget what I had put there and put one or two more and so on - so when the bill came it was a shock! Now that I am spending less that doesn't seem to be as much as a problem. But credit cards still make me nervous. I prefer my debit card.
