Just checked my credit card and it's more like $450 per month.

In 2 years I've paid off a small amount of student debt, bought my fiancé a ring she never has to upgrade, financed my entire wedding, and can pay for a year of grad school.

Setup an Airbnb for your own apartment. Create a secondary account under another name (Reserve CC as payment option) and use it to book your apartment. Have the money go to your PayPal linked to your real account, then transfer that money to your bank account to pay off the CC amount. At most you lose like $150 it taxes, Airbnb fees, etc.
