<prompt> Human: Is it a good idea or not to simply make normalevery day purchases fast food, gas, etc with a CC then that evening make payments to pay back those purchases? Intent would be to earn more cash back or CC reward points. Or rather should you wait until the bill cycle ends then make the payments? Does it look poor on a credit report to make those smaller purchases with credit?  <response>: Theres no reason to do it that frequently. Possibly a couple of times a month if your limit is too low. Plenty of people use credit for everything. I buy everything I can with credit which is essentially everything but rent, loan payments, and if small stores are cash only.That said, it requires discipline to not overspend and end up paying interest, which will quickly nullify your rewards.Also your credit report only includes the balance reported, and only for the most recent period. If anything the card companies might reward you by increasing your lines for showing them so much use. Even for small purchases they get a percentage of it from swipe fees.
