I think a lot of people do that, use a credit card and then pay it off completely each month, so as to get the convenience of a credit card (accepted more places, seems to be a little less risk associated with them, and no PIN to remember or punch in) but also the financial benefits. They're better for your credit score, too. My parents are about the most fiscally responsible people I've ever met, but they actually had credit score problems at one point because they'd paid off their house and were paying for stuff with cash. They switched to credit cards then to build their score back up.
