Credit Card: Do you have one (or more)?

I know how simple and practical they are to use. Not to mention the convenience of being able to walk with no money printed in the wallet (avoiding loss or theft). But, I particularly don't like them for one reason: the fees that banks charge! So, the best way out for me is to save enough money to buy the things I want / need. How about you, folks?! YES or NO for credit cards?

I have two, but only use one. I am careful about how much I use them and make sure to pay off the balance every month. I am not at all keen on paying the banks money

I have two credit cards and I pay nothing at all to the Banks. The important is to cover the amount spent at the end of the months. I never had one cent charged.

@WiseGhots You only pay interests if you do not cover by the end of the month. I always do.

@WiseGhots My partner said that if I have a credit card I spend too much so my credit limit will be 5000 peso only not 100 thousand pesos.So,I did not apply.

If you can handle them, they are OK. Right now we only have 1 and that is plenty

I have about four credit cards. They are convenient to use them. I like it because I never want to bring a lot of cash. Besides, the bank will give me some gifts according to my consuming. Such as lately I got a smart bracelet from my credit card bank and I am so glad to it.

I agree it's best to stay away from that trap although we've swim those waters too often, unfortunately. Recently we've decided to eliminate all cards and pay off the debt before retiring. It may take four or more years but we see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

I have one and that is my main means of all transactions. I love to collect credit points and cash it out or exchange it at the end of the year for some good gifts. It is convenient and profitable to use.

I have two. One for online purchases that gets paid every month and gives me back a percentage of what I spend (no fees if I pay it off every month). And one for fuel purchases. That also pays back a percentage and is also paid off every month with zero fees.
