I spend around £250-300 a month on mine but pay the balance in full monthly. i think whether you should use it more depends on what benefits it has no? I also have an Amex that I use for bigger purchases like flights, holidays, restaurants etc because the Flying Blue points add up nicely. it costs £14 a month.Moopy, do most people have quite a lot on their credit card? I've got one and it only ever has around £2-500 on it. But some people I know have thousands. I feel like I should use mine more.
Well I'm wondering if I should use mine for flights, courses etc, it's a Barclaycard and I don't feel like I get any benefits from it because I barely use it, I just eat into my savings.I spend around £250-300 a month on mine but pay the balance in full monthly. i think whether you should use it more depends on what benefits it has no?

What's a charge cardRachey, if at all possible, bin the credit card. If you have 2 grand on it most of the time, you are pissing money away to rich companies who need it a lot less than you do.
Get a charge card if you need help between incomes.
anything you're using it for should be paid back quickly/monthly rather than using savings to pay it back since that's just accumulating debt. probably better to keep using your savings in that case.What's a charge card
I don't really need it between incomes, i just thought I could use it for big holidays rather than eating into savings, which are now very low.
Is having £2-3000 on it bad for a credit score? My score seems to have gone up after getting a CC but barely using itThe benefit is you can cancel charges should you need to much easier than claw back money you've already physically paid with a debit card. I don't use mine much but will tend to for big purchases like holidays in case SHIT HAPPENS.
I also like @Jark use it for little things in the month just to keep it ticking over and my credit score in check. I tend to fill up my car with it for example.

Thanks funky!Rachey see if you’re entitled to any free financial advice as a business owner. Your business income and personal expenses might be separate but you might benefit from a holistic view of your finances. Credit cards are evil - sounds like you have them under control at the moment but it’s so easy to fall into a black hole with them.
Charge cards will help you manage your day to day finances and for bigger expenses / emergencies you could look into a loan - not advisable but still likely to be much better rates than a credit card.
Credit cards were invented to help rich people keep poor people in debt.
So, if I saw a holiday I wanted to go on for £3000
Thanks funky!
99% I'm absolutely fine, but as we know, I love a holiday. And just want a better way to pay for them than my savings, which are more for emergencies.
Well quite - unless it's 0% like @PercyPig says, assuming you have penalty free access to your savings (or even minor penalty) surely you're far better off using savings and then paying x amount each month back into them until you've 'paid off' the holiday? The interest over even only a few months on a credit card on the balance is bound to be more than you're getting even in a generous savings account.Financially you’re better off using your savings for your holidays with a repayment plan to yourself each month - treat it like a loan but with zero interest. The only difference is that a loan
‘to yourself’ requires commitment as opposed to the credit card company who threaten you with fees (on top of interest) if you don’t make repayments.
There’s no point keeping your own money aside while borrowing money that comes with huge financial caveats.
and a CC almost feels like free money. I don't notice £7 ISH a month interest going out.
You do realise you need to pay it off?a CC almost feels like free money.

Vikings episode please
Erm, to be honest now I think about it, I don't know why I use the CC when I have savings. I think I just liked looking at my account and seeing a few thousand in thereand a CC almost feels like free money. I don't notice £7 ISH a month interest going out.
But yes, I can see it makes no sense.
Genuine question - why is your credit rating being perfect that important to you?I have one, I use it abroad for the better exchange rates and if there’s something I’m worried about needing to charge back and pay it off every month so never incur interest. As someone else said, keeps my credit rating up too, and as that’s 1000/1000, I want to maintain that.
I do keep thinking I should get some more benefits out of them as you can play the system well, but I haven’t gotten around to it…
Genuine question - why is your credit rating being perfect that important to you?
You already have a mortgage - is it possibly because of your business and potentially needing it for that?
