— Step 4: Use Methods to Maximize Your Benefits —

Use your own credit card to pay all living expenses

To receive the maximum benefits of your BLOC, use a credit card to pay for all living expenses:


    benefits:
  • get a 25-day grace period of no interest
  • enjoy ease of use
  • earn benefits and rebate awards
  • insure protection against lost and stolen cards


    use your card to:
  • buy groceries
  • gas and other transportation services
  • utility services
  • insurance
  • supplies
  • entertainment
  • all other living and needed expenses

When your credit card payment comes due, use your BLOC to payoff your credit card.

That gives you 25 days of FREE money which means the average daily balance on your BLOC account will remain low for minimum interest charged this allows you to use the bank's money.

Caution:
The ease of credit cards can run up debts. You must treat your credit cards like money and budget their use. You might consider prepaid cards to manage your expenses.
