References to those studes always drive me nuts. I'm sure there are SOME people who spend more when using credit. I think most don't. I certainly don't. When I get gas, I fill the tank. That will cost the same amount whether I pay with cash, credit or gold doubloons. I use a CC to pay the cell phone bill, the home phone bill, the cable bill, the internet bill, the alarm company fee, groceries, AAA membership, magazine subscriptions, auto insurance, auto registration... All of these things would cost the exact same amount no matter how I chose to pay the bill. Using a CC is just far more convenient, safer and earns me nice rewards from the CC company.
