Its quite amazing to see people having so many credit card at their disposal and if we go to a local super market we can see people in the que searching for the right credit card which they need to use and I have seen a guy having atleast 5-6 credit cards at once.  Its hard for some people to manage single credit card with them, how will people manage so many credit cards at once. programmes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, how many credit cards should one really have? Is having multiple cards prudent or is it creating unnecessary trouble for oneself? And the big question, How do you manage multiple credit cards?  Plz do share your views on this, there will be many who will be managing multiple credit cards...

Keeping a close eye on the billing date

idea posted by Inani Sarkar Sales/BD Manager, Aricent

I just use one credit card and use whenever it is really necessary if not ill just use my debit card for most of the things.  And while maintaining one or multiple credit cards, keeping track of the billing date of your credit cards can really maximise your interest free credit period. Do stop spending on the card which is very close to billing date and spend on the card that has still some way to go for the billing date.

That way one can maximise their free credit period because most cards give an average of 20 days to pay the bill post statement generation.  So first one need to understand the intricacies of how Credit cards work and then it becomes easy, just get your numbers right interms of the dates then everything should be fine I suppose...

Right option to avoid late payment charges & penalty imposed for that.

Very well said Irani Keeping a close eye on the statement generation date is very much important if you want to utilize the cash generated by using your card. Moreover paying ur dues in time is also equally important this is how u get ur credit limit increased from time to time.

CIBIL is an organisation which works on our credit eligibility when we apply for loans and I know someone who is now settled in the U.K. He was a very poor guy he got his first CREDIT CARD with a limit barely 12000/- But he was so accurate on his payments and date calculations that when he was moving to U.K. he had no problems at all. I know all this coz I only did all the paper work including his VISA application.

Add your argument:

Reduce the Credit Limit

idea posted by Ravelino Dsouza Editorial Speciailst, Hostway

People with many cards, should reduce the credit limits by calling the respective banks.

Prevents over spending by the card holder or by theives.

we have to be wise using the credit card. If we are rich person is not a problem. even we have hundred or thousand credit card. because we have Billion dollar in the bank. I think having one card or two is reasonable. And we have financial program about pay the debt on time without delay.Not hungry for shopping and using this card. Use the card wisely. for emergency things. Not using for consumption. and the important thing is saving and saving. If we have a plan and work, we get the benefits later
