 Howstuffworks "How Credit Cards Work"
It's true that credit cards have become important sources of identification -- if you want to rent a car, for example, you really need a major credit card.
And used wisely, a credit card can provide convenience and allow you to make purchases with nearly a month to pay for them before finance charges kick in.

Produced with a computer model created, most often, by Fair, Isaac and Co. (or "FICO," leading to the somewhat generic term "FICO score"), a credit score is intended to be a snapshot, or summary, of your credit history.
It is possible to have a high score with one credit bureau (Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion) and a low credit score with another, just as you might have a clean credit history with one bureau and a muddied record with another.
Wide-ranging credit scores are rare, however, although some lenders admit to seeing borrowers with scores that vary by 100 points or more.
