It's what I do, and have been doing it for just about as long... a while back the CC company went to a date range for the monthly due date, so once every year or so I end up paying $25 because one month it's due on the 28th and the next month it's the 23rd or some BS (of course, it's mostly my fault since I get the bill on the 1st and don't get around to paying it for 3-4 weeks).

Besides that, I've paid it off every single month for about 15-16 years, and use the rewards to help pay for Christmas every year.
