Always try to pay the total amount due on your credit card. If that’s not possible, pay the closest amount that you can. That’s because the interest on the balance amount keeps growing at the fast rate of 2% to 3.5% per month (revolving credit). So eventually, you may end up paying a large sum of money only as interest charges.
Also, your credit score may take a hit if you continue paying only the minimum amount due on your credit card. Doing it once in a while is fine, but you shouldn’t fail regularly in paying the total amount due on our credit card.
