I have also witnessed situations where a spouse dies or is incapacitated and the other half knows nothing about paying the bills. Top that with getting hacked and now every card is compromised. No easy solutions. Favorite card, Discover. Great cash back.I say do what works for your life style but make sure someone in your life can pick up and continue if you cannot. If peace of mind is a two dollar fee or frequent notification from a monitoring company go for it. Also lock/ freeze credit reports and cards not in use .Rather be dancing then time on line changing passwords because of compromised accounts. Or just pay cash.

My father took care of all the finances back in the 70s. Mom was clueless. Then Dad died and Mom had a near nervous breakdown from the stress of ignorance.
Do your significant other a favor and teach them, while you are still able.
