Credit Cards

Credit card is a very convenient option to make payments for goods and services that you may require on a day to day basis. Most shop keepers or service providers  will not charge anything extra just because paid by credit card and not in cash. What's more the credit card company will give you a free credit period after which you have to pay off the full amount. 

Free credit period is not available on cash withdrawals and interest on such cash withdrawals start from the day of withdrawal till payment date. Off course this financial magic is explained by the fact that most shoppers shop for higher amounts when they pay by credit card than if they were paying in cash.
