In a previous post: Credit Card vs Debit Card, I explained the basic differences between credit cards and debit cards. Unless you have trouble controlling spending, credit cards are a much better choice for your regular method of payment. If my previous post didn’t twist your arms, I’m offering you more reasons to favor credit cards over debit cards (and cash, of course!)
- Credit cards help build credit
- Credit cards give you better fraud protection
- Credit cards give you the ability to dispute charges previously paid for
- Credit cards cover warranty extension
- Credit cards offer 60-day return on most merchandise
- Credit cards cover rental car insurance
- Credit cards cover travel insurance
- Credit cards cover luggage delay reimbursement
- (Some) Credit cards provide free concierge service
- (Some) Credit cards offer rewards on purchases
What do you think? Are you convinced that you should buy everything with a credit card now? Let me know if you’re still looking for justification… 😉
Usual warning: none of these reasons applies if you can’t control your spending. 😐

I use my credit cards for everything and I have never spent one cent on interest.
Credit cards are amazing tools but if you don’t understand them or understand your finances you shouldn’t be using them. It amazes me how some people just refuse to educate themselves on personal finance and using credit.
Keep up the good work!
