If you find yourself in a situation where you're cash broke and relying on one credit card to pay the monthly bill on another then it won't be long before you're in deep financial trouble. Eventually, you'll find yourself carrying high balances on all your credit cards at a percentage. This is a recipe for making yourself poorer.

If you don't have the cash to pay your credit card bills at the end of the month, what this should tell you is that you shouldn't be using those credit cards.


Chris
Wouldn't it just put you in more debt?

$x = Credit Card #1's total payment owed (Including interest)
$y = Credit Card #2's total payment owed (Not including interest)
$z = Credit Card #2's interest after payment of x

The best case scenario would be that $0=y

If you pay $x amount with $y, you add $x from $y. Then you have to pay the interest on Credit Card #2.

x < y+z
x-x < y+z-x
0 < z

You end up paying more trying to pay x with y+z.

Not directly and you need serious financial advice if this is the only means you have of paying your bills. See a debt counselor immediately.

Rob Peter to pay Paul....Why not?

Yes as long as they are not from the same creditor company

Yes, it's called transferring. You may have to use those convenience checks the credit card companies send out.

However, there will probably be a transfer fee of about 3% and interest will start immediately at the cash rate which is usually much higher than the purchase rate.

Shifting debt from one credit card to another isn't such a good idea. You'll be sinking deeper in debt before you know it. Stop using all credit cards and work on paying off the balances.

most credit card companies do not allow this, so you wouldwant to ask the cc company that you are paying. Even if you are in collections.


Judy
First look around for cards with really low APR's or 0% balance transfers for 6 months.
Go to bankrate.com
its a great place to find any kind of card you want.

I found a card that gives me 5% cash back on gas all year long.

Most credit card companies do not allow a mechanism (online or otherwise) to pay your account with a different credit card, unless your account has already gone into collections.. at that point, they'll take anything they can get.

About the only means you may have to do it would be if you have cash-advance checks issued against another credit card.. you could conceivably use one to make a payment, but with the cash advance fees, etc, that would be charged for the transaction, it doesn't make much fiscal sense.
