WTA guys,

If lets say I have 2 credit card debts (both are 18% p.a. if I’m not mistaken):

Card A : RM5,000
Card B : RM5,000

And now I have RM2,000 to pay off some of the debts. How should I allocate? Should I do:

A: Put RM1,000 to card A and RM1,000 to card B. Next months pay equally also

Or

B: Pay card A minimum and the rest pay to card B. Then continue paying more to card B while A Pay minimum (making it something like snowball effect)

Possible to do balance transfer to one card?
Hope u can clear it asap.

Unfortunately no. Card is almost fully utilized (each card credit limit is 6000). Although, thank you for the support biggrin.gif

C. Pay the minimal (which is 5%) on the card with the lower interest and the remaining amount on the card with the higher interest charge.

Fully clear the card with the higher interest charge first.

If both cards have the same interest charge, select either one and clear it first; one at a time.

Noted on that. So it's not that wise to pay the same for both ya.


Thanks for the suggestion guys. Really appreciated it. notworthy.gif

Hey guys, Just to update and share that when there's a will, there's a way!

I'm happy to report that I've managed to settle one card already based on my above enquiry. Next month will start paying the second card.

I even almost didn't celebrate Hari Raya laugh.gif Was deciding either to finish paying next month and enjoy raya or pay everything this month for that card and have a simple raya with family (I mean really simple, just cook some rendang, photoshoot and that's it. No visiting relatives and new baju raya etc.). End of the day I chose the latter and and after a week, I felt it's the better choice!
