5 Tips for Managing Credit Cards
2
  • In the paragraphs below, we have listed and
    discussed excellent tips you can use to manage
    your online store credit cards guaranteed
    approval in the most effective way possible.

3
Always pay your balance in full.
  • To avoid making huge payments on interest, we
    suggest that you pay your credit card bills
    completely. Although it might be tempting to pay
    just the minimal amount required by your card
    issuer, always remember that doing so will only
    cause your interest charges to balloon out. And
    in time, such habit might make it more difficult
    for you to completely retire your credit card
    debt.
  • So, as much as you can, pay your credit card
    bills in full, each month.

4
Be mindful of your due dates.
  • One of the main reasons why cardholders make
    huge credit card payments is because they usually
    forget to pay their bills on time. Keep in mind
    that payment delinquency can cost you a great
    deal of money, usually in the form of late
    payment penalties and surcharges.
  • This means that if you wish to keep your credit
    card bills at a minimum, you should not only try
    to charge small purchases and bills on your card
    account. You should also do your utmost to keep
    up with your due dates.

5
Dont max out your credit card.
  • After all, spending beyond your credit limit will
    not only cause you to incur huge overdraft
    charges. Such habit can also cause your
    debt-to-limit ratio to rise, which in turn will
    pull down your credit score.
  • So, you must resolve to use just a reasonable
    percentage say, 25 - 30 - of your credit
    limit. By doing so, you can successfully build
    and maintain a good credit standing.

6
Pay close attention to your billing statements as
well as to your annual credit report.
  • That way, you can easily detect if an
    unauthorized party has gained illegal access to
    your credit card information and is using it for
    his/her personal gain. Always remember that
    fraudulent transactions will not only inflict
    severe damage to your credit history. They may
    also drive away prospective lenders and card
    issuers, especially if you find it necessary to
    apply for additional lines of credit.
  • So, find time to examine the documents that will
    be issued to you by your card issuers and by the
    three major credit bureaus. And see to it that
    the entries in the billing statements as well as
    in the credit reports you will receive are all
    correct and up-to-date.

7
Stick to the stipulations of your bad credit
cards.
  • In so doing, you can avoid incurring pesky fees
    and charges which might compromise or completely
    ruin your personal or household budget. One thing
    that can help you remember the terms and
    conditions of your card programs is to take out
    and read the fine print of your lines of credit,
    every now and then. After all, this will help
    remind you of the terms, conditions, special
    privileges as well as the usage restrictions that
    apply to your online store credit cards
    guaranteed approval.
