I know this might just reflect financial culture differences across countries, but let's give it a try

Edit: as a clarification, I meant credit card compared to debit, not to cash

I'm in the US. I use my credit card for utility bills, groceries, gas, and whatever else I'm buying during the month. Anything like a mortgage or car payment I pay from my bank account. Every month I pay off the card so I don't get interest charges.
