 TITLE: Is It Better to Pay My Credit Card Bill Weekly or Monthly? CONTENT: How Does Carrying a Balance on Your Credit Card Affect Your Score?\n------------------------------------------------------------------\nIt's a common myth that carrying a balance and paying off your credit card debt over time will benefit your credit score. In fact, paying off your bill every month, on time, and keeping your balance low throughout the month is best for your score. Consumers with the highest scores are also generally those who limit their credit card balances to 10% or less of their credit limit.\nPaying off your balance each month, either with one payment or multiple, shows that you exercise responsible payment behavior, and your credit score will reflect that. You'll also save money on interest charges and avoid the stress of a growing balance. END
