Using Costco American Express Card (exclusively) for 1 Year

I am very proud that I have absolutely no credit card debt.  The only debt I have is my student loan with 3.5% interest rate.

My number one financial strategy is "Never use credit card".  My ultimate goal is a home ownership, which is quite possible if I apply myself.

So far, the only time I use credit card is when I pump gas at Costco and when I shop online.

Then I received a rebate check, amount of $36.20, from Costco American Express Card.  FYI, this is a brand new credit card I received about 6 monts ago.  This made me to think.

I am going to use Costco American Express Card for 1 year and see how much rebate I get next year.  

I mean, I will use Costco American Express card exclusively for everything I do.  I will replace my cash with this credit card.  I will pay off the entire balance every month. 

This will be fun.
