and services over the phone, through the mail and online.

healthcare cost, job loss or auto repair. For instance, if a person is on a holiday and
has a medical emergency, he will have no problem in paying the hospital bills.

They also offer discounts and rewards at stores. For instance, when you make
purchases using the credit card you can collect points, which accumulate and can be
used to get free items, such as airline tickets. Some cards may offer cash back as an
