And the moment you make any sort of mistake or have a charge you can't pay off in full (regardless of your level of discipline, this will probably happen eventually) the credit card company will earn back every cent you've made from your cash back or rewards. In fact, they'll likely earn it back and many times more. This is the business model behind rewards programs. Sign the customer, make them believe that living month to month on credit is okay, then wait for them to fuck up.
It's gambling, and the bet is that you'll never ever ever ever ever run into trouble paying off your bill.
