What Are Credit Cards And Why Are They Used?

By Roger King


Credit cards are a method of payment which can be made when the holder of the card makes purchases for services or goods. These can be both beneficial and destructive for a person, depending on how the user uses the cards.

What A Credit Card Does. The card may avail the use only till a certain limitation which is set by the bank from which the card has been given to you. The card lets the holder pay for the goods and services the holder wishes to purchase but only under the limitation of the card.

For example, let's say you are the card holder of a credit card which has a limit of US $3000. You cannot exceed this limit, if you do, the card will be claimed as exhausted and you will not be able to pay for the goods which are going over your card limit. Instead, you can pay the amount which is exceeding in cash or hold it off for next time.

A debit card program is set at times to allow the holder of the card to gain some benefits. These programs can be offered in different places with different benefits depending on how one can use this service.

Debit Cards And Gas Stations. Many gas stations use the debit card program so that their customers may benefit from them. When a customer uses the debit card at a certain gas station, they receive points. If they gather enough points they can get small perks such as free 1 liter gas (which requires 5,000 points).

Credit cards may also be used to pay for the gas or items available at a gas station, but most of them do not give offers which the program provides on the use of debit cards.

Retail Stores. The debit card program can be availed at retail stores as well. The same applies for them too; you may receive small perks on getting a certain amount of points, or you may receive more benefits by becoming their member, but you must remember to refill your card at the end of each month.

Using The Cards At A Retail Store. A credit card can be used to make purchases at retail stores as well. You may use your card to buy anything from the latest trends in fashion to scrumptious delicacies. As long as your card is not exhausted you may buy anything, but this is also the negative thing about them. Since you have the ability to buy anything you lay your eyes on this may result in problems when the time comes to pay the bank back. The debit card program can be availed at retail stores as well. The same applies for them too, you may receive small perks on getting a certain amount of points, or you may receive more benefits by becoming their member, but you must remember to refill your card at the end of each month.

The negative aspect of this program is that you can only have access to the amount recharged within your card and you cannot exceed its limit.
