All - quick question. Our old house needs a new roof, and we've saved and have the cash on hand. We've also done our due diligence, and have interviewed over 10 contractors - all have come to us via personal recommendation.
This looks to be about a $5K job in total, and I'd hate to not collect some major points in spending that money - all the contractors around here only take cash, check, or money order though. My wife just got a new Southwest Chase card, and this would easily earn us the Companion Pass, if we could find a way to use the card to pay.
Any ideas? I've heard stories of people getting a cash advance on their card, then paying it off? Anyone navigate this before?
