Wow, you must live in a different world than I and millions of people in the U.S. do. I guess you've never paid a general contractor to do renovations (done that > 100K worth), hired a local plumber / mechanic / landscaper, paid kid's tuition, or paid for piano/ballet/tennis lessons ?????
In fact, I'm writing a check ($1400) to my auto body shop guy next Wednesday because he doesn't take credit cards.
In short - let me guess - you're under 30.
I hire freelancers in my business and pay large sums to them on a periodic basis. I started following this forum in an attempt to figure out how to pay these large sums of money and earn miles doing so since none of them accept credit cards. I started playing the game with the intention of earning miles for REAL spend. BB has been very beneficial in that regard.
