Payment Strategy Tips

Pay before intro period ends: Aim to pay off the entire balance before the introductory APR expires.
Calculate minimum: Ensure your monthly payment is higher than the interest accrual.
Avoid new purchases: New purchases on balance transfer cards often don’t get the intro rate.
