Also, pay your car/house insurance on your credit card too, it's like $500+ a pop. In a pinch, buy gift cards that you will use over time, namely gas station, restaurants, grocery stores.
You basically prepay for all the stuff you were going to buy sooner or later. That's the game

I never thought about "prepaying" my utility and cell phone bills...
Also car/house payments generally don't take credit cards. At least the ones I have. I just googled it and it looks like you can work around that by buying money orders or using some services to do that. Seems a lot of hassle.
