The point of it is that banks are not lending. If for any reason, one needs sudden access to a large sum of money, the credit line is already in place.
Applying to the same institution for a loan would probably result in a no...
I have several cards for the same reason. In this environment a line of credit is not to be sneezed at (obviously accepting there is an ability to repay).
... for right or wrong, my mother always told me to take out whatever credit I was offered (obviously as long as I could pay it back...better to use the bank's money than mine).
I'm trying to figure out my credit cards - for right or wrong, my mother always told me to take out whatever credit I was offered (obviously as long as I could pay it back...better to use the bank's money than mine).
I have a number of cards.
BOI Clear Credit Card at 9% - about €900 on this. Credit limit 22k. Can pay off any time (paying 300 a month and have just cleared car loan so can pay off in the next two months). Could pay off no problem from savings. This is my main day to day card
AIB Card - no idea of interest rate, but comes out on dd every month - 17k credit limit - never any more than 100 on it.
MBNA card - 30k credit limit. Nothing on it.
Am I mad to have all of these?
The BOI one I use as a regular credit card
The AIB one I use like a debit card
The MBNA one is my running away money.
I don't mind paying the stamp duty.
for right or wrong, my mother always told me to take out whatever credit I was offered.
MBNA 8K limit - 7k balance o/s but this is interest free for 6 months and I am earning interest on the 7k
How do you earn interest on a debt??
