Title: Should i go for credit card?
Post by: hannibal09 on July 17, 2010, 02:13:25 PM

I recently started earning and i opened my salary account with hdfc. They offered me free credit card with 60k limit. Should i go for it?
Also he i opt for it, i want to use it for purchasing new bike worth 57k so how much i have to pay with in credit period and how much after that if i fail to pay back with credit period? Is interest is payable daily or monthly or yearly?

Well wait for few days before you jump on to the game of credit card. Credit cards come at 30% P.A rate of interest and is extremely bad if one cannot pay in full.

2 wheeler loans can be availed at interest rates as low as 10% P.A. So get yourself a two wheeler Loan and not on CC.

Best

30 to 50 days is a Gimmick. Depends on the Billing Cycle. As advised by CardBhai, don't straight head into the Credit Card Trap. Stay away as much as possible. Rest is upto you.
