And havent you heard of that new nifty invention, the check card? With a CC logo so it can be used everywhere? Avoiding the need for cash or checkbooks? You can even get bonuses and miles depending on your bank.
Maybe most people do it that way but we definitely use credit cards for the bonus miles. We pay our bills off every month. But since my wife's parents live out of the country we use up our miles every year flying them here and us flying there. I know tons of people who pay their credit card bills off every month and use them for convenience/rewards. My brother's a doctor and he has a shitton of cash right now. I mean, a LOT. He still uses his credit card almost exclusively.

Why use a check card when you treat a credit card the same way with the extra benefit of improving your credit score?
