Is it illegal to let others support your credit card?

1. If you use a credit card to maintain a certain amount, you will need to cash out, and cashing out with a credit card is illegal. Malicious overdraft exceeding a certain amount (like 5,000 yuan) will result in a prison sentence. At the same time, If the bank/credit card company finds out that you are using your credit card to maintain your credit card, you will be blacklisted = you will not be able to use some bank financing services in the future, such as getting a loan or getting a mortgage.

2. From an operational perspective, the debt amount of a card is like a snowball. The sum of the debts of all cards will only increase but not decrease. When the snowball reaches the balance of a certain card, When your credit limit is maxed out, you have to pay for it.

3. Therefore, even if it is not discovered by the bank, it cannot be sustained for a long time. It really does not make much sense. It is just sending handling fees to the cash-out service company. Therefore, using your card to maintain your card can only be a temporary solution and cannot be done for a long time.
