[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im the opposite. I LOVE charging stuff to my card for NF because I rack up points that way.  I pay the card off biweekly so thats not really an issue so its a win/win to me.  [/quote]

This. Personally I would get a separate card in my own name with a nice points program and only use it for their stuff to keep stuff clean and separate. If you ever take Amtrak their points are pretty great as is their sign up bonus. [/quote]

I use my Wells Fargo card for NF stuff, that way it's separate.  But I agree, the Amtrak card is good too :)

I'm open to a variety of ways to pay for things for my NF.  As long as I know what the limit is per week or month, what is allowed and what isn't, I don't have an issue.  I've worked with cash in an envelope (not my favorite, especially not with over $1K in it!), reimbursement when I use a card (I always ask for a duplicate receipt, so that both my NF and I have a copy), and a prepaid card (store gift card and VISA both).  Most families don't care if the nanny gets points from using her card, and I prefer to use credit cards so that I know that if my card (or number) is stolen, I'm not liable for anything the thief does.  I've had the cash envelope stolen, and while the NF was furious, they also understood that it wasn't my fault.[/quote]
