 TITLE: How Do You Pay a Credit Card Bill? CONTENT: When Should You Pay Off Your Credit Card Balance?\n-------------------------------------------------\nIdeally, you would pay your full statement balance before the payment due date each month. If you do this, and your card has a grace period, you won't pay interest on your new credit card purchases.\nBut if you can't pay your statement balance in full, don't worry—just try to make the minimum payment by the due date. Any balance remaining on your credit card will carry over, or \"revolve,\" to the next month's balance and be susceptible to interest.\nOnce you've revolved a balance, paying it off before your payment due date can help you save money as credit card issuers generally charge interest daily. In some cases, paying early can also help your credit scores. END
