Your credit card interest rate is PROBABLY nothing to worry about if you pay your balance in full.

If your bill is $100 and you pay it before the due date, that's all you'll have to pay. Go one day late though, and BAM you get hit with interest and late fees, etc. If you just pay the minimum, BAM, 24% (annualized) interest charges are added.

Caveat: I said PROBABLY. There ARE credit cards that don't have a "Grace Period" - call yours and verify that you have a grace period. If not, you're paying interest from day 1.

nope

unless it was a cash advance, then you owe interest until the day they get the money in their mailbox

If you pay your monthy bill in full there will be no interest. Interest starts after you don't pay the balance in full. If you can do that, then I would.

If you pay in full, there should be no interest. If you don't pay in full, the 24% is a high interest rate. Try to pay in full for a few months and then ask for an interest rate reduction. They will usually give you an interest rate reduction just for asking for it .... IF you have a good record.

Pay it in full if you can and you won't have any interest added.

no
always pay in full

If you pay in full every month? No, no interest. But BE WARNED: if you miss the minimum payment twice in a row (if it's late even by a day), they will jack up the interest rate to the default which is always higher. My first card had a 19% interest rate and a default of 32%. I missed the payment once (the whole check arrived one day late) I had to pay the interest plus a $29 late fee. That's almost $40 for ONE DAY! Be very careful. When I get my paycheck now, I take it into the bank the first day and make the minimum payments on all of my cards as soon as the bills come. The rest I pay over the course of the month. But once you make that minimum payment, your interest rate is secured and you save on the late fee was well.

1. Yellow lock symbol in your browser's status bar

Modern web browsers ( a software that is used to surf the internet) are quite safe and respond to safe sites. They do it by embedding a yellow lock in the status bar of your browser whenever they go to a secure website. Always check for this yellow lock in the status bar of your browser.

2. https:// and yellow address bar

Whenever you reach a secure website the url of your website will change from http:// to https:// and along with this, if you are using a latest web browser the color of the status bar will also change to yellow. Some browser show a yellow lock right there in the address bar.

24% of whatever you spent..just grab a calculator. The statement will tell you what your current balance is which will include the interest

You only have to pay the interest if you do not make the minimum monthly payment on time. For example, when you get the bill you will have the total balance due, lets say $150 and then you will have an option to either pay it or the minimum payment (usually $10-$15) as long as you pay one or the other by the due date, no interest will accrue. My advice is pay the thing in full and then cut the card up but keep the acct open. That way you are not tempted to spend but you still raise your credit score by having a low debt to income ratio.
