Are millennials still using credit cards? Despite stories to the contrary, Credit Karma says they are.

The online credit management platform took a survey of just over 1,000 millennials ages 18 to 34 throughout May and June. It found that two-thirds of millennials in that age range have at least one open credit card.

"Millennials are more comfortable with credit than we first thought," said Credit Karma Chief Consumer Advocate Bethy Hardeman. "Some myths around them not using credit wisely or not using credit at all are false."

Gallup found a similar result — that 65 percent of Millennials have a credit card — it said in a February article.

Millennial spending habits, particularly in how they used credit cards, has been under scrutiny. The New York Times sounded the alarm about this topic with an article published earlier this month. The piece addressed credit card debt, highlighting the statistic that the number of Americans under 35 who hold credit card debt has fallen to its lowest level since 1989, according to a Times analysis of Federal Reserve data.

But beyond credit card debt, the Times said millennials have been "spooked" by credit cards in general, abandoning credit for debit cards and cash.

"We wanted to understand if those things were really true or if the media was perpetuating a myth," Hardeman said.

While millennials are definitely still using credit cards, it's true that they're using them in lower numbers than their predecessors. The two-thirds statistic for millennials compares to 78 percent of Gen Xers and 83 percent of Baby Boomers who have at least one credit card, according to Gallup.

Of course, Credit Karma has a vested interest in millennials continuing to use credit cards. But its report served to show that millennials are more traditional than once thought.

Seventy-eight percent of millennials own a car, and 55 percent bought or planned to buy their first car before turning 22. Fifty-two percent are saving for retirement, and 89 percent started saving before turning 28. Sixty-nine percent have some sort of emergency fund, and for 36 percent of them, it has more than $1,000.

When it comes to debt, as the Times said, millennials may be more responsible than previous generations. For those surveyed who had some sort of credit card debt, the average amount was $1,957.

Gallup found that 47 percent of Millennials carry some credit card debt, compared to 61 percent of Gen Xers. But only 48 percent of Baby Boomers carry credit card debt, on par with millennials. Of course, Baby Boomers have had more time to pay it off.

This is the first time Credit Karma did this survey, so it doesn't have one-to-one comparisons to past years.

But if its data is to be believed, most millennials are not like the few who told the New York Times they cut up their credit cards years ago.
