...why would you ever put ordinary spending on a Discover card?

Do you track your spending on these types of cards to make sure you hit the status mark? If so, how?
If I know I haven't paid any fees, I just add up all my payment amounts for the year from the card's payment screen.

If I want to be sure, I open up each statement in the history and add up the "purchases" lines.

It's not that much of a burden.
