Of your $200 in the bank, pay as much of it as you can toward your credit card bill. This is way better than paying the minimum each month because paying the minimum doesn't lower the bill at all, just pays on the interest charges. So your bill is about the same each month, and doing this does nothing for your credit score. If you pay off as much as you possibly can each month till the bill is paid, it not only helps you by getting rid of a bill, but also makes your credit look good (so long as you are paying on time). The interest rate stays the same no matter if you pay $10 or $100, but the charges will be less the next month because you will have paid down the bill, so there won't be as much to charge you interest for. (Hope this makes sense!) Also, after you pay down your bill and keep it low or at nothing for like 3 months, you can call the company and ask them to lower your interest charges, and they usually do, because you now have a good track record with them, and they want you to charge again! |

Interest is caculated monthly over a daily average. Always pay as much as you can afford to pay towards your card. |
|

the rate will be the same if it is a fixed rate and you have nothing negative on your report that would make it go up |

tony is 100% correct |

If you pay 10 dollars you will have an outstanding balance of 490, and you will pay EACH month an interest. The best thing you can do is pay as fast as you can.
Good Luck |

I wouldn't put all your money towards the Credit card but, some of it. That way you have some money if you need it. But paying the minimum is like paying the interest only. So the payments due will start going up and so would the debt so you need to make payments you can afford to keep the minimum down and pay off your credit card. |

Your interest rate stays the same. What would change is the amount of money in interest you pay. For example.. If you interest was 21%
21% of 500 = 105
21% of 200 = 42
The interest rate doesn't change. But lesser amount causes the total of the interest occured to lower. |

It is absolutely better! The more you pay now, the less interest you will have next month. Also, the lower your payment next month, so the easier for you to pay it off.
Pay as much as you can afford to!
Depending on how high your interest rate it, try to get a loan from your parents or something so that you can save yourself the wasted money on interest.
Also... let this be a lesson to you... don't spend more than you can afford. |

The old rule of saving is: pay yourself first. If that $200 is all you have, you should hang onto it, because if you need money later for something else, you may not even be able to borrow it, except through a loan shark.
Once you have SOME money on hand, THEN pay as much as you can.
If necessary, cut expenses or, somehow, increase your income. |

your bank may require a minimum balance before incurring service charges and in case of emergency.... leave half in the bank and the other half to pay the credit card.... pay off the card as quickly as possible as the interest accumulates fast. |

Yes, paying the $200 will be better for you. The interest rate will stay the same, but by paying more of your principal balance, you will be paying less finance charges. |
|

Yes, pay the most you can, your future amount you owe will go down. |

No, it won't change your interest rate. And the interest charged on the $500 would have already been billed when you receive the statement.
Don't wipe out your account, but it is better to pay more than the minimum payment. I pay double the minimum payment to ensure that I'm paying interest & principal. |
|

pay off as much as you can. the interest is calculated on your existing balance, therefore it should be lower |
|

The percentage will still be the same, but the interest charged will be less since it will be calculated on the 300 remaining rather than 490. Paying more is always better, unless the percentage is less than the inflation rate (RARE), in which case saving your money is best. |

It doesn't have to be $200, you can put $100 keeping some in your bank. But yes you will pay less interest next month because your balance next month will be substantially less, not just $10 less. You'll almost never pay your balance off if you only pay that minimum payment. Pay as much as you safely can every month. Hope this helps you. :<) |

How many times are you gonna ask this lame question?
The more you pay the lower your interest will be and the closer you will be to paying off the debt. Have you never handled money before? |
|

Not in this case...I think you should hold on to the $200 if that is all the money you have. Something else may be needed that is more important. Rules: pay yourself first..... a bit of hard work or extra work to make money can help you pay it off quicker. you also didn't mention the apr you pay on the card.... |
