The Traveler:

I use my credit card when I travel - its better than cash, and I can even accumulate rewards points.

Tip: Apply for a credit card that lets you rake up miles on your favorite airlines, or get one that lets you redeem your points on any airlines. Or, get rewarded for using your credit card at the pump.
