Another large benefit of credit cards is protection. I have heard of stories of companies accidentally charging multiple times for a service/etc. They fix the error, but sometimes not before your account gets overdrawn and gets penalized for purchases you made when you thought you had money in the account (which can be quite a bit).
A credit card just would not allow you to make the charge.
Additionally, credit cards call me/etc if they question a purchase. I have never had my bank do so.
Finally, when I have had a purchase on my credit card I didn't remember making, I called up the credit card company and they took it off.
