My understanding of this isn't the clearest either, but

a small percentage return on a large enough sum can still outpace a large percentage on a small sum, so long as you're not skipping payments on the loan.

That's true, but in the case of a credit card, wouldn't the amount you'd be investing by not spending cash upfront have to be equal to the amount on credit? I guess technically you get a number of days of investment income equal to the number of days until the next payment, but considering you could as easily lose money in such a short time it doesn't seem like a viable strategy.
