It's that lightbulb moment where you realize that even after paying the surcharge to pay a mortgage with a card, you still earn positive cashback, making your net interest rate on your mortgage effectively a negative percentage. 8% cashback - 3.5% pay by card surcharge = 4.5% free money, and considering my mortgage interest rate is 2.75, that effectively means I pay no mortgage interest and still earn 1.75% free cashback.And the best part is that this passive cashback is generally speaking not treated as taxable income.

I had two people come after who both hated the smell and I gave them full refunds and let them stay there so it didn't kill my ratings I had - it's very much so a business of customer service.
