You could really benefit out on some case but if you are that wise on seeing those benefits and not only focusing into its negative then you could actually make some use of it for your advantage.
Some people cant really just see these things thats why they would be saying that credit cards are shit but actually this could really save you up into some point or make some advantage if you do tend to get
from other various sources or taking up some loan which it do ends up that spending with credit cards is much more worth.
If you do know on how to make use of it on certain conditions and make out some good calculations then its impossible that you wont be finding it out.
The only advantage of a credit card I see, is the situation when I ran out of money and urgently need to buy food. And still I would try to borrow money from family or close friends, instead of using a credit card. The reason is simple, there will be no fees and in most situations I could repay my debt when I am able to do it, not monthly or person I have borrowed from wont take his money back automatically from my wallet without notifying me. Since you have mentioned advantages - what are they then ?
