2. Convenient to travel. When passing through the ETC channel at the expressway toll station, the payment can be deducted directly to avoid parties. Credit cards with the "VISA" or "MasterCard" logo can be used directly to make purchases abroad. Debit cards and cash need to be exchanged in advance.

3. Installment repayment. Sometimes it is necessary to spend a relatively large amount of money at one time. For example, buying large items such as appliances and furniture can feel stressful. At this time, you can choose to repay in installments with a credit card, so that you can enjoy what you want in advance. However, you need to bear a certain amount of interest.
4. Save money. Many banks cooperate with merchants for their credit cards. For example, there are discounts for watching a movie or eating. For example, as much as you swipe your card, you will receive cash back and gas discounts every day of the week, etc. In addition, credit card points can also be redeemed for some gifts in daily life, and some have lottery activities.
