It's not a question of getting rich, it's about keeping more of what you earn. I don't expect to get rich on a 2% kickback from Visa, or a 1% kickback (5% kickback on gasoline) from Amex. But it's $1000 a year or so that I would otherwise not have, and something that takes no effort to obtain. It actually makes my life easier. Insurance, utility bills (except water), AT&T bill, cell phone bills, DMV renewals, food, travel, medical co-pays, etc., are all expenses that I would make anyway, and all are charged on the credit card for convenience as well as for the financial benefit. It's a lot less bills to pay each month.
