The three key information on the credit card surface: card number, expiration date and CVV code, affect your card safety, especially the CVV code, which is as important as the password. It is recommended to cover the CVV code with correction fluid or sticker, and some people are even worse. Just scrape off the CVV code with a blade and keep those three numbers in mind.
3. swipe your card frequently to avoid the annual fee; Only when you repay the loan on time can you withdraw the amount

In this information age, repayment methods are diversified, and it is not necessary to go to a bank outlet or an ATM to transfer money.

If your cash flow is not enough temporarily, or the repayment is delayed due to something, don't worry, call the bank customer service immediately and apply for an extension of repayment for one to three days.
6. What should I do if I am short of funds?
When applying for changing the billing date, I should pay attention to calculating the billing date and enjoy the longest interest-free period, so as to alleviate the pressure of financial shortage. However, this skill cannot be used every month. It is said that some banks can only apply for change once every six months, some banks can only apply for change once a year, and some banks can only change it once a lifetime!
7. Say no to all unreasonable charges
Anyone who has unreasonable charges on a credit card can call customer service and bargain with the customer service to apply for cancellation of unreasonable charges. If the customer service disagrees, they can insist on complaining to the end and generally win.
8. Use credit card installment with caution
The interest rate of credit card installment is very high, even if it is interest-free, the installment fee is not cheap, so use it with caution, and don't let the bank earn a dime! Of course, except for those who can't repay the credit card arrears on time under special circumstances, except those who want to increase the credit card limit as soon as possible.
