Oh, I'll still be flying UA most of the time, but I will be using the CSR so that I don't accumulate too many UA points but, instead will have a fungible travel currency.

Simply because we don't need it because I pay off my cards every month.

Funny that you mention a new roof because I actually need one, but the best company in my area doesn't take credit cards without charging a "convenience fee" of 3%. In addition, I just had one of my AC units replaced and it was the same story with them. Cash is still King in many transactions.
