If I pay my credit card early can I use it again?

Yes, if you pay your credit card early, you can use it again. You can use a credit card whenever there’s enough credit available to complete a purchase. Your available credit decreases by the amount of any purchase you make and increases by the amount of any payment. So paying your credit card bill early (and often) can help you avoid … read full answermaxing out your spending limit and having a purchase get declined. It will also reduce your credit utilization, which is good for your credit score. And it will save you a lot of money on interest. Let’s do a quick example.

Imagine your credit line is $1,000, and you make a $300 purchase. Your available credit goes down from $1,000 to $700. You could make up to $700 more in purchases at this point. But that wouldn’t be the best idea because using more than 30% of your credit line can hurt your credit. That’s where paying your bill early comes in. You have the right to make a credit card payment at any time. So if you were to pay off the $300 you spent, without spending any more, your available credit would go back to $1,000.

Now, it’s important to think about the schedule for credit card payments. Once your billing cycle closes, there is usually a grace period of 21 days or more until your due date, during which you can pay off your purchases without incurring interest.

You’re completely allowed to use your credit card during the grace period. Any purchases you make after your closing date are part of the next billing cycle, not the current one. But if you don’t pay the full balance listed on your statement, you’ll lose the grace period. That means you won’t get 21+ days between the close of your next billing cycle and your due date before interest kicks in. It will start accruing right away.

Long story short, paying your credit card early will let you use it again, assuming you have little-to-no available credit to start with. It can also improve your credit utilization. Just make sure you remember to pay your full statement balance by the due date, or else you may rack up some interest charges.

What is a credit limit on a credit card?

A credit limit on a credit card is the maximum dollar amount a cardholder can access for purchases, balance transfers, cash advances, fees and interest charges combined. Though credit card cash advances have their own credit limit, that limit is part of the overall credit limit.

A credit card’s limit is determined when the credit card applicant is first approved for an account, and it’s based on the applicant’s credit history, annual income, current debt level, and overall creditworthiness. The card issuer wants to make sure a cardholder can pay their minimum payment, even if the balance approaches the credit limit, so a limit is set to reflect how much a person can afford. If your income is low, for example, you may get approved for a low starting credit limit.… read full answer

A starting credit limit isn’t permanent, however. There are ways to get a credit limit increase as you build a relationship with your card issuer. Paying your bills on time and staying well below your credit limit are good habits that could lead to credit limit increases later. Some issuers will raise a credit limit on a credit card without a request from the cardholder, but others will wait until you ask. Keeping the card issuer updated with your current annual income is one way to get a credit limit increase without asking. If you get a raise or promotion at your job, your card issuer may be much more inclined to approve a limit increase.

That said, it’s worth noting that a credit card limit can also be lowered. Cardholders who miss payments or rack up a lot of debt may have their credit card limit decreased - often without notification. It’s a good idea to keep an eye out for credit limit changes so you don’t accidentally go over your limit.

As long as your balance is less than or equal to your credit limit, no penalty fees will be charged. Furthermore, credit card companies can only charge over-limit fees if you have actively opted-in for the ability to charge more than your credit limit.
