That debt will add up quickly if you’re not a credit cardie on top of your game. One slip up and you’ll be hit with 25-30% interest rate. If you can pay off the entire balance with 21-27 days then yes, if not, don’t add complications like that to your situation.

If you don’t have a way to pay off the card every month (in total, not minimums) do not get a credit card. Interest wracks up really quickly and are designed to keep you there

Side note alot of card continues have. 0% interest rates for 6-12 months is you have good credit history, so your wouldn’t incur any additional debt besides what you spend and have that extra time to pay off, but that’s a double edged sword if you just rack up the debt
