What expenses do you guys have paid automatically on your credit card? Myself, in the interest of maximizing the number of "points" I earn, have the following:

Rogers: wireless, cable, internet, home phone
407 ETR

I don't think you can have your utilities paid off via your credit card, can you?

What do the rest of you guys do?

insurance - home and auto (well, not exactly pre-auth every month, but charged semi-annually)
bell - internet and phone
newspaper

Credit card pays for phone/internet, satellite, cell phone

Bank account pays for everything else because I can't use a credit card :D

You can have most any bill paid via your credit card, including utilities. Just call them and let them know. Many utilities don't openly offer that option but most do it if you ask.

Personally I have a hard time letting anyone take preauthorized payments. I like to check things over first before they get my money.

most insurance company will allow you to pre-auth the payment to your credit card. they contributed to most of the points on my credit card.
