<prompt> Human: Lets say I pay the rent with my Visa credit card and then make a credit card payment for the same amount using my bank account. Does this technique do me any good? Is it better to just pay the rent using my debit bank card in the first place? I wouldnt be paying my entire credit card balance off each month, just charging the rent followed by a payment for the same amount. I would still have a balance left over from other things. Not sure what is the best way to approach to get the most out of the money.  <response>: Using a rewards credit card would give you the most bang for your buck.For instance, a 2 cashback card is effectively reducing your rent by 2. Lots of people would love to pay rent with credit cards, but most places dont allow it or will charge an exorbitant fee.
