As far as everyone that says "it helps me control myself" generally people still can't control myself and overdraw on their bank accounts, which is not nearly as likely as with a credit card.
And "credit card payment is postponed for 30 days" well, yes, and that's a good thing. Besides, you don't get your bank statement every week either. And if you want daily update, all those banks and credit cards have websites, that's how the really responsible person keeps track of their finances.
