Hi to all credit card sifu here. I have question to ask I've recently got my credit card from CIMB but I'm quite reluctant to use it because I'm not completely master on this card and worse comes to worse if I don't use it properly you can get bankrupt. Main question here if I bought let's say for example a laptop cost 4k and shop offer 0 interest with credit card with the payment of rm333 every month in 1 year. Can I pay more than 333 and settle my debt with using credit card as soon as possible or I cannot I have to keep on paying rm333 for 1 whole year. Can someone help me clarify with this?
this is no easy question.
if you got the promo from the shop, then you need to check with the shop on their T&C.
if the promo is from CIMB, then you need to check the T&C from the bank.
See if they have a clause for 'penalty' on early termination.
When you say 'settle my debt with using credit card as soon as possible', I assumed you meant settling your credit card debt as soon as possible. Then same answer again, you need to check the promo T&C to see if there is any 'penalty' on early termination.
But if you are diligent credit card user, make good use of the credit card promo of 0% fee and keep your money in FD if you will, earn some interest and slowly pay off your 'debt' if you have extra money.
