Errr don't patronize me please. Wasn't talking about paying thousands in excess, just a bit only. Like I know that I only charge my insurance premium to this CC, at times, I pay one month in excess. Like I pay RM400, being the payment x2.
And nope, I am not keen to give FI money for free! and I am certainly not keen to kena finance charge for payment delays..
Part of the benefit of credit cards is interest-free duration. Some kiasu enough will hold till the end of the 20 days after statement date then only pay, but at minimum you should only pay on statement date. Paying a month ahead is, quite literally, giving the bank free money. Instead of them loaning you money (credit) you're loaning them money!
Avoiding finance charges isn't too hard if you pay on statement date. Also if you have a good payment record financial institutions can give discretionary finance charge waiver for that once in a blue moon that funds don't arrive for some reason. AEON even easier as in my experience they will call you when there's any delay in your payment, or even sometimes to remind you to make payment.
