Nowadays lots and lots of bank provide free lifetime credit cards, i wonder how it is possible? Are they cheating normal people by giving ads as "Free Lifetime Credit card, Money Back .... No Surcharge in Petrol Bunks etc.," And there are many hidden charges which they put on the bill statement finally, so justify the reason for using credit card and vice versa.

Im in the finance industry and credit card companies do make a lot. For a person credit cards are helpful since you can use it on emergency cases. However, if you're the type of person who splurge on the things that you don't really need and you use credit cards for it, it can really be bad for you if you don't pay on time.
