I just LOVE the ad by Google I got while watching.. "pay your college tuition online now with your Mastercard." lmao

I read an article, while I was in college, about parents who charge their child's tuition on a rewards card and pay the balance off at once. That way, they get tuition paid, and a free flight/lots of LL Bean gear/what have you. That's actually pretty smart.

If credit cards aren't a temptation, it's a great thing to do.

I put EVERYthing on my AMEX Blue Cash card, including my grad school tuition, books, groceries, car insurance, medical fees, gas...literally anything that can be paid with a credit card. I even used the card to buy a car that I had the cash to pay (and just paid it off all at once). If my mortgage company would let me do it, I would put my house payment on there too.

My annual cycle ends in November and I almost broke $1,000 cash back last year!
