...rewards? Most say "qualifying purchases" The places I researched make it very clear that by "qualifying purchases" they mean purchases made for store items and that sort of thing, rather than using their check writing feature, which they consider a cash advance and doesn't count. But I'd sure love to take advantage of getting lots of miles for all the money I spend on my mortgage....

I know... that would be great but they have it set up that way but you can't take advantage of it with a mortgage payment only purchases...They do that so you will buy stuff.... Too bad for us!!!
