<prompt> Human: Hello PFI rent an apartment from an individual, not any kind of property management company. Every month me and my three roommates collectively pay 1200 for rent. My roommates often travel for work so I am always the person who makes this transaction. Everyone gives me 300, I deposit it, and I write a check for 1200 to my landlord. I am 24 and have never owned a credit card and essentially have no credit. Is there some way that I could make this rent money work for me in some regard? I was thinking something along the lines of buying a money order with some sort of skymiles card and using that to pay the landlord, and then not using the card for anything else maybe gas, groceries. I dont even know if its possible to acquire money orders with a credit card. Please let me know if you have any ideas, thanks.  <response>: you dont need to do anything elaborate...just get a credit cardbtw you cant buy money orders with a CC
