We primarily used our American Express and Discover credit cards in the month of February, and I think January as well. Just today I redeemed the most current rewards earned.
$66.71 American Express
$38.94 Discover
$105.65 Total Cash Back Rewards
The above cash back is being saved towards our Big Goal.
We use our Southwest Airlines Visa card to pay rent and a few other much smaller bills. We are earning a couple thousand points each month now. Specifically for February we earned 3,372 points. My account has over 35K points! We will definitely use most of those sometime this year.
We do not pay interest on our credit cards. We pay our balances in full each month. Credit card rewards do not pay off if you run a balance and are charged interest on your debt.

We use Discover and Chase Freedom for the 5% bonus categories and our Marriott Rewards for everything else. We've got about 400,000 Marriott points right now (earned through both the credit card and hotel stays). We don't have a plan for them but we do need to start using some. We earn 3,000-4,000 points each month from the credit card alone.
