Credit Card and Counselling >> Tips on credit card usage

The word 'Credit Card' has an obvious punch to itself, which we often tend to overlook. You can use the credit card to buy things you always wanted to without any instant payment. That sounds nice. On the other hand the more you are using the credit card the higher your debts are rising. Purchase and debts are the two sides of a credit card. One can avoid the debts only by proper usage of the credit cards. Here we give you some proper guidelines to use your credit card in an effective manner.

Ways to Use your Credit Card in an effective manner:

  • First step towards saving is to consolidate the outstanding balances on your credit cards into one loan. It can also be transferred onto one credit card that has a lower interest rate than the ones you are currently paying. Transferring your balance onto other credit cards that have low interest rates is, however, a simple process.


  • In order to make it a bit simpler we have a small example of how consolidating your credit card debt could be beneficial. Let's say you have $100 in outstanding credit card debt and the average annual percentage rate (APR) on that card or cards is 18 %. If the outstanding balance remains at $100 then over the course of a year you would pay approximately $18 in interest charges alone.


  • If you consolidated your credit card debt into a single loan with a lower interest rate or if you did a balance transfer onto a credit card with a low interest rate you would save a significant amount of money. If the new loan or credit card had a 9% APR then you would save roughly $10 in interest charges over the course of that same year. If you save $10 for a debt of $100, then think about the amount you can save for a debt of $10,000. This trick will save you $1,000 over the course of that same year.

 

Just think of $1, 00,000 debts; you can save $10,000 which can be used to repay some of your debts.
Thus life becomes easy with simple tricks and wise steps.

But at times some introductory offers can save you money. Many times, credit card companies offer a low "introductory" rate that will give you a low interest rate on a credit card for only a short period of time, usually 6 months. After the scheduled time the low introductory rate goes up to a higher and fixed interest rate. The low introductory interest rates sometimes seems to be really good, but might actually costs you in the end. If you are planning to pay off the balance before the introductory rate expires, then credit cards with a low introductory APR or low interest rate can actually save you money. However, if you plan to own a credit card for an extended period of time then a fixed low interest rate credit card might be right for you. With a fixed low APR credit card you know what your interest rate will be.
