Tips to manage your Credit Cards effectively:

• Monitor your spending by keeping an eye on your credit card usage. This helps you avoid going over your credit limit and save on over-limit fees.
• Always pay at least the minimum amount due before the payment deadline to avoid late payment fees and high interest rates.
• Use cash advances sparingly as they attract high cash advance fees and interest rates from the day of withdrawal. Cash advances refer to the cash you can withdraw from an ATM on your credit card.
• Be mindful of foreign transaction fees when using your card abroad or for overseas online purchases.
• Review your card's fee structure and consider if the benefits outweigh the cost as some credit cards charge annual fees.
• Be aware of any associated fees and interest rates after the introductory period, especially if you are considering a balance transfer
