Following the credit card thread, I've learned that some people use credit card points and miles to pay for hotels, that seems pretty interesting.

Children toys being second hands comes to mind too.

What are your ideas?

I do the first and it's great. I don't have a fixed length of time to wait, but generally I try to wait at least a few days for anything "big." A lot of the time, I realize I don't want/need it, so I save that money for something better.

For your second point, I just use an account aggregator so it'll pull in all the transactions I made across accounts. So to know how much I spent, I don't need to care which card I used, it'll pull it all in.
