Credit cards are known to offer both – security and convenience. However, today, credit cards offer a lot more – especially when it comes to financial and lifestyle benefits.

Here’s a list of reasons why you should consider getting a credit card at the earliest.

Secure transactions:

Credit cards come with many protective features such as:

  • Zero-fraud liability
  • Purchase protection
  • Guaranteed returns

These features offer protection to your card during unfortunate events like theft and misplacement.

Furthermore, since this card is credit-based, any fraudulent payments do not have a direct impact on your account.

Credit score:

Payments made via a credit card also help maintain a healthy credit score. CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited), Experian, Equifax, Highmark are some of the companies which look after the records of all credit-related activities of companies as well as individuals.

Right from the purchases made with credit cards to the details of your credit card bill payments, all relevant data is collected and reported to companies like CIBIL. A credit score is then generated, which establishes your creditworthiness. Credit scores play an essential role when applying for a loan. They help build trust with banks and other financial institutions.

Loyalty points:

Many companies offer users the facility to accumulate loyalty points in the form of credit card points or rewards. These points are generated on every purchase made with your credit card.

You could redeem them for special benefits such as:

  • Hotel bookings
  • Flight bookings
  • Holiday packages

Your loyalty points grow based on the number of purchases you make with your credit card. This is one reason why many prefer using credit cards for most payments.

Tracking expenses:

As a credit cardholder, you will receive a detailed statement of your card at the end of the credit bill cycle. With this statement, you can keep a record of your expenditures for future reference to set your monthly budget.

While applying for a credit card, it is crucial to get a thorough understanding of all the features and terms & conditions. They offer a clear understanding of how the credit card would benefit you.
