Swiping a card on a POS machine is the most common way to use a credit card, and it is also a way to swipe a card online. When swiping a card, the operator should first check the validity period of the credit card and the cardholder's surname.

Then, according to the issuing bank and the currency to be paid, select the corresponding POS machine, draw the magnetic stripe of the magnetic stripe credit card on the POS machine, or insert the chip credit card into the card slot, connect with the bank, and input the corresponding amount.

After receiving the information of remote payment, POS will print a credit card payment receipt (at least two copies), and the cardholder will sign the receipt after checking that the information on the payment receipt is correct. After checking the signature on the receipt and the signature on the back of the credit card (including the complete name matching and the basic handwriting matching), the operator sends the credit card copy and the credit card payment receipt to the cardholder. At this point, the credit card swiping program on the POS machine is completed.

Credit cards are usually valid for several years.

General credit cards are valid for 3-5 years. The last two digits on the card can be calculated by subtracting the application year.

Credit card overdraft is a short-term overdraft given by the credit card issuer to the cardholder within the prescribed limit when shopping with the card. For credit cards, it is allowed to "consume first, then repay", and overdraft is an important feature.

For debit cards, it should be "deposit first, then spend", but on the premise that it is recognized as goodwill overdraft and repayment is guaranteed, the cardholder is also allowed to overdraw an appropriate amount in a short time when the money is urgently needed. Overdraft interest is generally much higher than bank loans in the same period, and card issuers also have a set of measures to prevent and recover overdraft risk losses.

The longest overdraft period of a credit card is 60 days.

Credit card overdraft interest shall be charged at the rate of five ten thousandths of daily interest within 15 days from the date of signing the contract or the date of bank entry (inclusive), and at the rate of five ten thousandths of daily interest after 15 days, and at the rate of fifteen thousandths of daily interest after 30 days or when the overdraft amount exceeds the prescribed limit. The overdraft interest is not divided into sections, and the interest is calculated according to the highest interest rate grade or the highest overdraft amount.

Take a credit card spending of 50,000 yuan as an example. If it takes 45 days from the billing date to the repayment date, the cardholder will repay 40,000 yuan on the repayment date, and the remaining 10000 yuan will not be repaid on time.

If you hold a card of China Construction Bank or China Merchants Bank, you need to pay interest at the base of 50,000 yuan per day, and you need to pay overdraft interest within 45 days 1 125 yuan; If you hold ICBC's credit card, you only need to calculate the overdraft interest for the unpaid 1 000 yuan, and the overdraft interest to be paid within 45 days is 225 yuan, a difference of 5 times. If you can't repay on time, it's not because you can't repay, but because you remember wrong, which leads to a small number of mistakes, then the difference is even greater.

If consumers overdraw in full and can't repay on time, they will incur overdraft interest and other expenses, resulting in the amount owed exceeding the limit. Because the cost overrun is caused by the cost of the credit card itself, some banks will not charge extra fees for this situation. For example, China Construction Bank and China Merchants Bank Credit Card Center both indicated that they did not accrue the over-limit fee.

However, ICBC and China CITIC Bank Credit Card Center said that if the arrears exceed the credit card limit, they will charge a 5% overrun fee. However, ICBC said that it would only be charged once in an overrun period, while CITIC Bank said that the overrun fee would be compounded monthly.

If the cardholder uses the unit card to overdraw, the unit shall bear the responsibility of repaying the overdraft amount and paying overdraft interest. If the cardholder uses the supplementary card of the personal card to overdraw, the main cardholder shall be responsible for repaying the overdraft amount and paying overdraft interest; If the cardholder of the main card loses the repayment ability, the cardholder of its subsidiary card shall be responsible for repaying the overdraft amount and paying the overdraft interest.

How many years can I use a credit card?

Credit cards issued by banks are generally valid for 3 to 5 years and can be used normally within the validity period. Users can apply for card replacement before the credit card expires.

When a user replaces a new card, the bank will re-evaluate the cardholder. If you have a good habit of using the card in the past and can guarantee the repayment on time after swiping the card, then the bank will continue to issue new cards, otherwise the bank will not issue cards after the expiration of the validity period.

If the personal address changes during the use of the credit card, the user can inform the bank in time so that the user can receive the new card in time after replacing the credit card. In fact, you can choose not to use your credit card after it expires. At this time, you can generally choose to cancel.

Before canceling the credit card that is about to expire, the user must pay off all the debts in the card and ensure that there is no excessive repayment. Also, when you cancel, make sure that the credit card will not generate an annual fee, and then you can call to cancel. The average user needs to confirm whether the credit card has been successfully cancelled 45 days after submitting the application.
