You don't see me doing it. I get cash back and every time it's $25, it's credited automatically to my account.
I have doubled my Roth IRA once a year several years in a row now after listening for years that it couldn't be done. This year I did it within 6 months, so the experience really pays off.

I just pick ones with straight cash back. I get several thousand dollars a year so it’s the equivalent of free hotel rooms every month but without being tied to any dumb redemption scheme.

What exactly see you confused by? The categories on the CSR do not change.

I haven’t paid for a hotel in over five years and I take a weekend (or longer) trip at least once every two months. Visited my kid 16 times when he was in college and never paid for a hotel room. Done right it’s an amazing hobby.
