In life we all come across scenarios where it is best to pay for something with a credit card. Take purchases online for instance; the credit card has the added benefit that it is widely accepted by many online merchants and payment is instant from the buyer to the seller. By being able to pay with a credit card you will be able to receive the item in the fastest possible time available.
If you had to send a check to an online merchant it might mean waiting for the check while it is in transit, than waiting for the check to be deposited, and than after it is deposited you will have to wait for the check to clear. All this may take a few days up to a full week to complete before the merchant even packs and ships your products. The worst case scenario may even mean the merchant doesn't accept any other form of payment except for credit cards, so count those cash, check, and money order payment methods out.
