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

US resident, I use a rewards card for most purchases because I earn points that I can redeem for plane tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars etc. I also make sure to pay the balance off every month to avoid interest.
