 TITLE: How Do You Pay a Credit Card Bill? CONTENT: Tips for Keeping Up With Credit Card Payments.\n----------------------------------------------\nYou can stay on top of your credit card payments by monitoring your spending, credit card account and payment method. Here are a few tips:\n*   **Set up autopay.** Using autopay for at least the minimum monthly payment can help you avoid late payment fees.\n*   **Choose your payment dates.** Many card issuers let you choose your bill's due date. Choose a date that's easy to remember and aligns with your finances (the day after you're paid, for instance).\n*   **Sign up for notifications.** If your card issuer offers it, you may be able to sign up for email, text and app notifications. You can set up alerts for when your balance goes above a certain point or to let you know your bill is soon due.\n*   **Monitor your spending.** It's easier to pay off your bill in full if you limit your spending to purchases you can afford. The advice to treat your credit card like a debit card, spending only what you have, can come in handy here.\n*   **Make payments throughout the month.** Making early payments can lead to lower utilization rates and help you avoid surprisingly large bills. If you get paid weekly or bi-weekly, you could choose those times to pay down your credit card bill as well. END
