However, there are things that we will spend different amounts on such as food, gifts, entertainment, travel etc. Obviously, there are some things where we will pay out the same amount each month, such as rent or insurance and then we cannot overspend. It means that it avoids the temptation to overspend. It is therefore worth considering budgeting as it has advantages that can help you.Īllows you to Stay in Control of your Spendingīy setting a budget it means that you will allocate some money towards different things. Obviously, you will need to find some money so that you can make those repayments and unless you have savings available to do it with, you will need to come up with an alternative method. If you want to repay a loan, then you may be looking for a method to help you to do it. So, you need to be very careful and think about how you think it might impact your behaviour and whether you are likely to use the rewards as an excuse to spend more or whether you will just take advantage of it as you spend as normal.

This could mean that you will buy lots more items than you can afford and it could lead you to not being able to repay the card in full and then having to pay interest on the card. You may also find that because there is a reward which will increase if you use the card more, that you can start to use it as an excuse for spending lots of money on the card. This means that it could be better not to use these types of cards unless you repay in full each month. This is because the interest rate is likely to be higher on these cards as the card issuer will need to make more money in order to pay for the rewards. However, it can be tricky for people that do not repay the card in full. If you are confident that you will always repay the card in full each month and only use it to buy items that you need or really want, then a reward card can be beneficial.

It is worth being very careful with these though. These will include things like air miles, vouchers and cash and they can be very tempting. There are some credit cards which will offer people rewards for using them. So do make sure, that you are budgeting properly and making sure that you are able to make those payments when they are due. However, you will find that if you do not manage your money very well, even if you have a direct debit set up, you could find that you will be unable to pay it, if there is no money available in your current account to be able to do so. This could just act as a deterrent and if you have a direct debit set up to cover the payment, then it should not make a difference anyway as it will be paid automatically. These are charged if you do not pay the minimum balance on time and although many people do not get charged these, it can be worth noting how much they are. You will also find that the card issuers will vary in how much they charge for late repayment fees. Often these changes will be in line with changes made by the Bank of England to the base rate but they may also change at other times as well, so it is a good idea to make sure that you monitor this and make sure that you swap credit card issuers if the rate become too uncompetitive. Interest rates will vary between card issuers and they will also change at times because they are variable. Every time you leave an outstanding balance, you will be charged interest and if you can keep this interest as low as possible, it means that you will be paying less as a result. For those people that will not pay their credit card in full this will be really important. The interest rate will vary between the different credit cards. They may seem really similar but it is a good idea to think about the small differences between them because it could make quite a significant difference to you. There are lots of different credit cards available for us to choose from and this means that it can be rather confusing knowing which ones to choose.
