Introductory Offers Can Make Credit Cards Valuable Tools for Handling Your Financial Life

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Credit cards often get a bad rap, but the reality is that many of us need one. They help us build credit. They are helpful for practical reasons like booking a hotel room, paying for online services, or covering a large, unexpected expense. Many times, they also offer rewards benefits, cash back, and cardholder perks like fraud protection and even extended warranties.

And while we’re on the topic of things we’ve said before, but we’ll also include this one: it’s best to pay your credit card bill off every month. But we know that sometimes life happens, and that isn’t possible.
