It is no wrong to use all these facilities. Just use it wisely. Wise people will make something bad become really good and stupid people can change gold into trash.
1. Credit Card
You have no money inside the account, but you can use the bank’s money for your spending up to certain limitation and pay the money you owed later either in full or partial. As long your pay your debt during the grace period, you won’t pay any interest.
Life is sooooo easy right
Visa… Mastercard anybody?
2. Debit Card
You have cheque book? Than it is similar with your cheque but it is in a plastic form. If you have RM 10000 in your account, you can spend up to that limit. But if not even a penny, well… no use lah!
If you dislike to make any debt, you always have a cash but you’re worried with the crime rate, it may be the best for you.
3. Charge Card
It is similar with credit card. You have no money in the account, but you can use the bank’s money for your usage. It is a very short term loan facility which you need to pay all the full balance. No partial payment or you have to pay a penalty fee, restriction and even cancellation of the card.
American Express, Diner Club, al-Rajhi is among the institution who are offering the facility.
Which is the best?
Well, it is not really accurate to say, “we all should have all of the above,” or “we all should have none of the above.” It is you yourself who shall plan your spending. Either by using all the plastic cards or not, the basic is coming from a proper financial planning.
There are people who become bankrupt by credit card and there also people who enjoy using it wisely. Your call.

Every month my credit card pay my DIGI bill, DIGI give me rebet RM10.00 for using credit card and Bank give me points for using credit card. (Bai baru belajar bahasa inggeris)
salam Pak Di … saje nak drop a line kat sini re this cards matters. Personally, I think we must have proper financial planning and financial control!!! Maksudnye kita tahu kemampuan kita takat mana dan yang penting KONTROL DIRI DLM BERBELANJA!! Bukan nampak main belasah ajer … The point I want to make here is that we shouldn’t blame the cards or the banks for our financial woes … all the cards are merely facility to ease our lives … sebabnyer no matter what kengkadang dlm waktu emergency cr kad ni berguna juga … cuma jgn terlalu byk waktu emergency dan bila dah pakai, tau2 lah bayar jgn buat2 lupa plak cam bila pinjam duit mak atau bini!!!
Pakdi: pinjam duit kat bini? cam pernah kena mintak aje…
for me i use my credit card for autopay my insurance and astro bill…
another uses is….tuang minyak keta.sbb taknak jalan gi kaunter and tinggalkan keta jauh-jauh…bahaya!
my prinsip…pay before use…or after use, pay before end of month. so..tak merasalah bank tu duit interest aku…
Bai…pakai DIGI gak ke? samo ler kita…saya pun byr bill guna cc..dapat extra rebet RM10.00…lepas tu dapat CVP yg boleh digunakan utk bidding online..dapatlah hadiah toaster kenwood….
tak tau lak dapat diskaun biler bayar pakai kad kredit..
