    What is YOUR Credit Card Question??

    • @careybentson662
      @careybentson662 4 роки тому +3

      I just got off the phone with my Cap One customer service rep because of interest on two separate statements. I understood why the interest was charged the following month for the balance that was not paid. But the month following having paid the whole balance, I still incurred interested on the unpaid balance from that previous month. I was told it is called "residual interest" that happens when the card balance is not fully paid in one month but then is paid fully the following month. This happened to me and I was told to pay the full balance two months in a row to begin seeing no interest charged on my statements. This seems very deceptive to the consumer.

    I wish somebody would do a video on what happens if you pay different percentages on your credit card by your due date. Like if you owe $100 and you pay $75 by your due date. What happens the next month if you still owe $25 or when your billing cycle ends. And how does that affect your credit score? That's the type of video I'm interested in knowing how different percentages affect your credit score if you don't pay in full by the due date.

    I read an earlier comment and wanted to follow up. In essence, to avoid paying interest I need to avoid carrying a balance: pay off the current balance by the due date (usually like 3 weeks from when you get the bill/statement).
    What if I use the card during that 3-week grace period? Still just focus on amount that was on the bill/statement or pay off the current balance + what I'm spending during the grace period?

    Rule Number 1= Pay of the full balance not just the minimum payment as it will cost you more in the long run
    Rule Number 2= If your Due Date is 15th October assume it says 10th October because if you pay bang on the 15th you may still be charged interest as it might not arrive in their system until 18th October 3 days later

    That has not been my experience, I called each of my credit cards ( citi, chase Discover) and each told me the same. Each card has its own transaction cycle. If you want to avoid interest you need to make a payment before the cycle ends. sits a couple days before the due date.

    • @Asfgijcdyjjno
      @Asfgijcdyjjno 2 роки тому +6

      Look at your statement and find the opening and closing date. The full balance has to be paid by the closing date. For example, my opening date was Aug 7 and closing date was Sept 7 with a due date of 1 Oct. I would have to pay the total balance on Sept 7 to avoid paying the interest for that billing cycle. Anything charged from Sept 8 - Oct 7 will be due on Nov 1 but to avoid playing interest, the total would have to paid on Oct 7 (next cycles closing date). This is where is gets confusing…. your closing dates will be determined by how many days in the month. It will not be same day per month. Furthermore, after paying the total balance on or by the closing day, it is advised not to use your card for the following 7 day to allow the CC company to report a zero balance to the credit bureaus.

    Hi Lizzz.
    Let’s say I missed paying my full balance and now I need to catchup and pay it in couple of months until it paid in full. Here is my question...WHEN is the BEST DAY to pay some fixed amount for that credit card each month in order to at least pay less in interest. Should I pay next day after statement day or at the due date? Again..my goal to pay less in interest until I pay it off.
    Will very appreciate your response.
    Thank you.

    • @quitecontrary23
      @quitecontrary23 4 роки тому +6

      The best day would be the same day you get your statement. The interest compounds every day, so it’s best to submit payment on the first day to decrease the amount that will be subject to interest.

    • @lizbettalksmoney
      @lizbettalksmoney  6 місяців тому

      I’m not clear on what you mean by twice? But you will be charged interest because you are not paying off the entire statement balance. Paying MORE than the minimum is still better than only paying the minimum, so keep doing that until you are able to pay it off every month. 👍

    So technically… you CAN carry a balance… but it just has to be what was charged after the statement balance?

    • @lizbettalksmoney
      @lizbettalksmoney  3 роки тому +1

      Carrying a balance would mean that you didn't pay off the entire statement balance the previous month. For example, your statement balance was $500 and you only made $400 in payments... then technically you carried a balance of $100, and would be charged interest on that. However, if you make $500 in payments and charge $600.. then your statement balance went up $100 but there wouldn't be any interest charges because your payments equaled to your previous statement balance.
      Hopefully that didn't end up confusing you more than it helped. lol

      Annual fees are not something that can be waived based on spending. You can call your bank within 30 days of being charged and ask if they can waive it. Make sure you understand the *value* in that annual fee or ask to downgrade it to a non-annual fee card.

      If you don’t pay off the ENTIRE statement balance then you’ll be charged interest on the remaining amount. Setting a minimum payment doesn’t guarantee you’re paying off the credit card…

    If I use my card on the 10th and my statement is due on the 26th do I pay it even tho it hasn’t been a month? Or do I wait till the next month to pay to avoid interest?

    • @lizbettalksmoney
      @lizbettalksmoney  3 роки тому

      You normally have 21 days between your statement closing date and your next due date.
      So that means if you made a transaction on the 10th and your due date is the 26th… then that statement cycle would have closed around the 5th to allow you the 21 days to pay.
      Which means the transaction on the 10th would actually be part of your NEXT statement. So you could hold off on paying it until then and avoid interest, or pay it before. Either way you avoid interest! 👍
      That’s why it’s so important understanding the difference between your statement cycle, and your due date.

    What is closing date and how is it different from due date?

    • @lizbettalksmoney
      @lizbettalksmoney  4 роки тому

      Closing date is essentially the cutoff date of the billing cycle. For example, if my billing cycle goes from May 1st-May 31st then my closing date is May 31st. That means after the 31st, my bill will be generated and I will receive a statement with what I owe by a due date, the due date will be sometime in June. I hope that clarifies it a bit more.

    For people who want to avoid paying interest but can’t pay the full balance at the end of the month, to my knowledge with my discover card I just pay a little more than the minimum because the minimum is just requirement they want you to pay but it doesn’t cover all the interest so if you pay more than the interest being charged you pay enough to cover the interest and pay down the principal and when you get your statement at the end of the month 0 interest has been charged even if you still have a balance at the end of the month

    • @lizicadumitru9683
      @lizicadumitru9683 2 роки тому +1

      Then how are credit card companies making money? The balance left over every month is what the interest is applied to. And if you have a balance you have an interest applied to it, meaning an interest fee.

    • @lizbettalksmoney
      @lizbettalksmoney  3 роки тому

      You did? If you are referring to paying off the balance, it could be something called residual interest if you recently got caught up. You shouldn’t be paying interest every month if you are paying off the entire statement balance, if you are, then I would contact your CC company.

  • @stagbeetle195

    Pay full balance during month & you won't be paying interest. Even if you continue to use the card during that month. You've already payed the Statement Balance & the other funds accrued will show up on next month's statement. 👍👍

      Interest is how much you pay for borrowing money. Or how much they pay you for letting others use yours (example: savings account interest)

    I have Capitol One.
    Balance Due was $8,687.87
    Paid total of $6, 700 by the Due date
    Next statement got charged a $122.43 APR on a balance of $5, 711.16
    So frustrating. I don't know how they do that.
    Can you explain this?

    • @lizbettalksmoney

      You didn't pay off the entire balance.. The only way to avoid paying interest is to pay off the statement balance in full & on time, every single month.

    • @lizbettalksmoney
      @lizbettalksmoney  4 роки тому +1

      If you were offered a promotional offer when you received the credit card then it makes sense to make a large purchase and pay it off during that promotional offer. However, if you did not receive one then I don’t recommend using it for a large purchase because then you will have to pay interest every month. Hope that helps!

    My question would be how would a person manage multiple credit cards? I mean for example let's say you have a regular capital one credit card and a credit card from Lowes. It would seem to me that shouldn't you be wise in spending on each credit card keeping in mind your monthly budget? It gets confusing to me. One credit card may have a 5k limit and the other 2k limit. Basically I guess I'm asking how would you juggle multiple credit cards without going into debt and paying interest for one of those cards if not eventually all of them? Thanks for your help and advice. I enjoyed your video.

    • @lizbettalksmoney
      @lizbettalksmoney  4 роки тому +3

      Hi Joseph! Thank you for your question! I do manage multiple credit cards but that wasn’t always the case. At first it was just one credit card that earned me the most points so that I could easily keep track of my spending. Once I got super comfortable with that, I started to use the best one for whatever purchase I was making to maximize my rewards on other credit cards. That required for me to create an excel sheet that helped me track all of my transactions and which card I used so that they all got paid on time and in full, to avoid interest. It does take a little more work, so I wouldn’t recommend it if it doesn’t sound like something you would like to track. Choose the one that gives you the best overall rewards, and only use that one for all of your expenses.

      Unless you pay off the entire balance, they are going to keep charging you interest. Pay it off as soon as you can and don’t add more unless you are able to pay it off as you use it.
