What does available credit mean, as opposed to current balance on a credit card statement?
On my statement it says

Balance - $200.00 (as an example) then
Available Credit. $290.00

I want to but something for $400 on my credit card, is that possible? Or can I only spend $290?

Sorry if this seems really silly, I just havent had a credit card before!

THANK YOU!
                     
 




R T
In your example:

$200 + $290 = $490.

You have a credit limit of $490
You have used $200 (you need to pay this back).
You can borrow $290 until you reach your credit limit.

No, you can not borrow $400 at this time. Pay back the $200 or have them raise your credit limit and you may,


Bear
you can only spend what you have available.
balance: how much you owe.
actual credit: how much credit you ACTUALLY have BEFORE all your most recent transactions have gone through.
available credit: how much credit you WILL have left AFTER all your most recent transactions have gone through.

hope this helps.
