Credit cards do not stipulate the time for swiping the card for consumption, so the credit card can be swiped at any time, including at night.

But everyone needs to pay attention. If you swipe your credit card late, the bank may suspect that you are cashing out, especially if you swipe your card at night to make large purchases. Merchants such as people's livelihood or capped merchants strictly prohibit large-amount card payments after 8 p.m.

It is recommended that you swipe your card for consumption before ten o'clock in the evening, which will also help maintain your card. Of course, don’t swipe your card too early. If you swipe your card too early, such as in the early morning, you may be suspected of cashing out. However, if you are spending money in places open at night such as KTV, the impact of swiping your card at night will not be too great. It's just that the rates in these places are relatively high, and merchants usually don't want you to pay with a credit card.

In addition to trying not to swipe your card at night, it is also best not to repeatedly check the transaction balance on the same machine before swiping your card. This will cause the bank to suspect that you are cashing out. Everyone must learn to consume normally and repay on time, so as to develop a good consumption and repayment record.

Financial Management Strategy

1. Control the number of credit cards and only have enough.

Once there are too many credit cards, it is easy to make mistakes or forget the repayment date of the card. Issues such as the credit limit of that card are difficult to manage and can easily lead to late repayments and leave a bad record. Moreover, if you swipe multiple cards to earn points, the points will be too scattered and it is not conducive to redeeming gifts. Therefore, it is recommended that only 1 to 2 credit cards are enough.

2. Keep the credit card receipts

Most credit card holders do not care about the receipts and will not keep them. Most of them throw them away. This is a very bad habit. In fact, retaining credit card vouchers not only facilitates the monthly summary of consumption records to analyze and optimize consumption habits, but also helps improve the rationality and transparency of credit card consumption, so that the card can be swiped clearly. And many people do not set passwords on their credit cards. Discarding the credit card credentials at will may lead to theft of the credit card.

For security reasons, it is best to keep the credit card receipt after swiping the card to make yourself aware of it and develop good credit card financial management habits.

3. Reduce cash withdrawals

Credit cards have two functions: overdraft and cash withdrawal, but cash withdrawals require a certain percentage of handling fees, and even if you deposit your own money into it, you will be charged. Therefore, it is not cost-effective to use a credit card to withdraw cash or use it as a passbook.

4. Choose the right credit card

The choice of credit card is very important. Nowadays, many commercial institutions have bundled cooperation with banks. For example, you can apply for a joint credit card between a department store and the corresponding bank. With a credit card, you can spend points here as a member and get discounts; or some cards can provide discounts at designated merchants, including dining, movies, towing services, etc. There are various categories, and you can choose freely according to your own needs. Credit cards should be used wisely and chosen wisely.

5. Use your credit card as much as possible within the maximum limit for credit card consumption

Every credit card has a limit. If you use your card within this maximum limit, you are safe. So, within this controllable range, please swipe as many cards as possible. Because a credit card is like when you buy something, the bank will pay you first, so why not? Just pay it back to the bank on time on the repayment date. On the one hand, it is more convenient to consume, on the other hand, it can also accumulate credit, and the bank can also charge merchants fees from the amount of your credit card, which is a win-win situation.

6. Don’t repay until the repayment date

Use the last repayment date to earn more interest. After all, the money is placed in your own account, and the interest generated is also yours, so You should make full use of the opportunity of having money in your hands to make it generate more money. In addition, if you are unable to repay due to some special reasons on the repayment date, please call the bank's credit card customer service hotline to explain the situation and request a delay in repayment. 1 to 2 days, usually this situation will be allowed.
