<p>One of the good things about the Tuition Management plan is that you can charge your payments to a credit card (my D's school doesn't accept cc's). Since she's out of state, the miles we earn come in handy when she needs to get there and back again. When you're spending 30k-40k a year, they add up pretty fast.</p>
<p>To back-up what HiMom says:There are no extra fees at USC for using the credit card. I have done it that way for three-years.</p>
<p>If the school accepts credit cards and doesn't assess a fee, I suggest people use a cash-back CC to recoup some costs (not much but it's better than nothing).</p>
