Credit Card Guide

Use credit cards as a tool, not a trap โ€” rewards, billing and pitfalls explained.

๐Ÿ’ณ

How cards work

A credit card lets you borrow up to a limit and repay later. Pay the full bill by the due date and you owe zero interest.

Never pay only the minimum

Paying just the minimum due triggers very high interest on the rest. Always clear the full statement amount.

Use rewards wisely

Cashback and reward points are great only if you would have spent anyway. Do not overspend to chase rewards.

Protect your score

Keep your usage below thirty percent of the limit and never miss a payment to keep your credit score healthy.
