Hello folks, Due to some financial crunch, I'm planning to get a credit card but I've heard from people about the scary stories of credit cards. Can any body who owns credit card can give his experience or any tips what card or how to use the card or any other general advice.
I just want to use cc for online purchases and maybe in emergency situations.
Thank you in advance.
Credit card is a tool to use only if you already have money sitting in bank. If that is not the case you would be stressed for whole month. Interest rate is highest in credit card, better to take other products like flexible OD or best is credit card + flexible OD( so you don't worry about credit card bill payment)
Will really look into flexible OD thanks.
You mentioned you're facing financial constraints. Having some loans can be beneficial, but credit cards are costly tools to manage during a financial crunch.
Loans to consider in order of complexity (left to right) - hand loan (from friends/families), salary advance from employer, gold loan, property loan, personal loan, credit card loans, mobile app loans..
Well I know it's a costly tool but I want to try it out i would refrain from asking from family or friends personally. I hope i would make better use of it and maybe learn something about money management
I started using CC a year back and here is what I have learnt :
Imitially I did a lot of mistales but now I have controlled it and it helped me planning my expenses /savings for the next 2 months.
Yup I need to get financially disciplined. Thanks for the heads up.
If you are not into impulse purchase then CC is fine, just keep your spendings innline with your savings and investment targets
Yup it's time to get financially disciplined i guess
It's not a tool for you to use when you are in a financial crunch. Take it if you have sufficient savings each month and no problem accessing liquid cash.
Credit cards are good man. This fear of going out of budget with credit card expenses keep a lot of people away from the perks it provide.
It’s legit true that smart users of CC save a lot of money. Just see if you are comfortable to pay full bill on the due date, if yes, go for it, otherwise PLEASE don’t.
Companies & other organisations run on a yearly/quarterly plan. As an individual, you got to plan 50 days of your life ahead.
Treat yourself as a company and make the decisions as a CEO, be as brutal as a CEO would be if your life was a company.
Suggest good credit cards which you are personally using. Both which are free & have annual charges.
Do mention which use case it is best for: -online spends -offline spends -foreign transaction -fuel spends
I want to apply for credit cards but I'm not sure which one I should be apply for. Can you suggest me with credit you guys use and found them useful in terms of benefits and stuff. And in general what all should I consider before choosin...
Hi folks, I’m planning to get a new credit card. I have the ICICI Amazon Pay card at the moment and use it for all my expenses except rent, but not happy with the benefits I’m getting from it.

Recently got my first credit card. Any tips on how to use it and things to keep in mind while using a Credit card? Also can anyone suggest some crazyy apps for crazzyy cashback apart from Cred.
