[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2712500, member: 5151"] This. Auto and home insurance also factor in credit history to determine your rates. Based on your score, they can determine the likelihood that you will file a claim versus use other means (such as a credit card) to pay for something that would otherwise be covered. Many people with enough available credit to cover small incidents will probably consider the impact that a claim will have on their insurance rates more than someone whose only means to pay for an unforeseen incident is though the insurer. Paying off a card each month will build credit without incurring finance charges. Some of them come with extra benefits, too... but don't try to "chase points". And in the event of a compromise, a credit card is much safer than a debit card. [/QUOTE]
