<prompt> Human: I work for a 100 bed nursing facility as their van driver which is apart of a multi-state medium sized company . For some reason the company wont get a gas card for the vehicles. My manager let me use his Personal CC which he then got reimbursed. He liked the idea as it provided him with a free flight for him and his wife every year with the miles he earned. He is moving to a different city with the company and now they want me either to pay myself and get reimbursed or use petty cash which is a logistical nightmare. I do not like paying on credit. I am 48 years old and the longest I have been in debt was two years at Rent-a-center when I was 20. I have never owned a CC and use my Debit card to pay for all my purchases. I can afford to pay for the fuel and it seems to be the simplest solution so, I will. My questions are is there something I should be aware of that I am missing and should I do something like what my old manager did and find a CC that gives me a little perk for using it? If it matters I have been told by bankers that my credit score is 600ish and that they are surprised by the lack of anything on my record. EditUpdate: I applied online for a CC from my CU over the weekend and they approved it so, now I got a 1000 dollar card with 1 cash back. 18 interest so, I will be paying that off every month. I was surprised I got it to be honest. In the paperwork they list my credit score as NO SCORE. Im kinda proud of that at the age of 48. Ive never made much money but, I stayed out of trouble.  <response>: Getting a CC for purchases that are being reimbursed may not be a bad idea. You would be able to pay it off in full every month and build your credit score.If you choose the path of the credit card I would suggest using it only for the gas if possible.
