[CS-FSLUG] Cash Back Credit Card?

[Yama Ploskonka]

you're not te only weird one like that ;-)

Running all my purchases through a credit card helps me have the closest 
thing to full accountability that an ADD guy like me needs - wife pulls 
all our accounts to her Quicken, and I have to respond to "on 1-19, $23 
Wlagreens, what was that?"

When I used to handle cash, it would simply dissappear with no idea 
where it went.

BTW, I also need a new account (we are trying all my non-profit money be 
in a separate account), so I'd like to be aware of an answer to this 
query myself.
