Frequently asked questions
Does paying minimum due hurt credit?
Paying only the minimum keeps the account current but accrues interest on the remaining balance. Pay in full when possible to avoid costly revolving debt.
What is a credit card billing cycle?
It is the period for which spends are billed. Paying the full statement by the due date avoids revolving interest.
Do rewards justify annual fees?
Only if your real redemption value exceeds fees and you never revolving high-interest balances. Otherwise a fee-free card may be better.
