Re: Credit Scores

Hi

Credit Cards are important if you travel.

They have protections in built.

Credit cards are 'cards of convenience ' to me nothing to with credit and they have many uses . They allow me to pay for goods and services without carrying cash, insure some purchases over a certain amount and provide me with vouchers to spend in Waitrose/JL four times a year from point earned on purchases.

I once bought my son a new walkman for his birthday and managed to drop and break it before I got it home. I was so glad I had paid for it with my Credit Card which meant it was insured and replaced for free .

Hi

Exactly right.

I always have enough to pay for things.

They are an Insurance Policy.
