I know of any real problems....many people use credit cards.........on a positive note, a declined CC results in no penalties......whereas a declined check results in a $35 service charge......

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Has anyone used a credit card to pay for I-129F? We prefer using a credit card but we want to make sure that it's as good as a check. We know it can be used but it seems like most use a check. We want to know if there are any cons. Thanks in advance!

Thousands of people use it every day 

YMMV

Use the card to get the 3-5 times points. I used it for AOS, almost earned a free flight when I paid 1225 for AOS. 5 times points got me just over 6000 points, and I get free one way at 7000 points, your paying anyway, get what you can for doing it.

No problems for us. Most online guides are a little out of date, and don't mention that you can pay by credit card, which I think is why so many people pay by check or money order.

You may pay the fee with a money order, personal check, or cashier's check. When filing at a USCIS Lockbox facility, you may also pay by credit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions.

PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD
USCIS has added the option of using a credit card to pay the fees related to a variety of forms.  There is a list of forms that this option applies to at this link, the I-129F and I-130 are included on this list:
