advantages to credit

-Credit cards can also be useful in times of emergency.
-In addition to the benefits listed above, some credit cards offer additional benefits, such as discounts from particular stores or companies, bonuses such as free airline miles or travel discounts, and special insurances (like travel or life insurance.)
disadvantages to credit
