There is NO positive side to credit card use.

Until you have been mugged. Then you will be glad you carry plastic and no more than forty bucks in cash in your wallet.

If you “have to” use plastic, I suggest a debit card. I use them for travel and the occasional convenience of ordering something over the Internet or phone. Other than that, I use cash.

"Credit" cards are wonderful tools when used as "charge" cards. They're far better than cash, as you point out. Many even pay you for using them.
