Unfortunately most, even if they genuinely intend to, don't. And therein lies the crux of their peril...

And points do not outweigh the interest if you don't pay it off religiously. They merely become another justification.

Yes, agreed, it takes discipline. If you start to not pay off the full amount, you'll get in trouble quite quickly.

*IF* you are able to ensure always paid off, its a useful tool.  But I never buy anything on the CC unless I have the money in my current account to cover it.

It does mount up and it is easy to put more on plastic than you can remember.

Last month I had  CC bills of more than £8000 spread over 4 or 5 cards. Most of it was petrol for the bid red pussy. ::)

8 thousand?  ???

Its surprising how the Waitrose bill mounts up you know ::)
