Credit cards
Using a credit card to buy things means that you do not have to pay right away. Each time you use a credit card, you sign a slip of paper (or type in your PIN) to say that you agree to
cost of your purchase being added to your credit card account.
You will get a bill from
credit card company at
end of every month listing all
things you have bought. With most cards, if you clear
balance in full before
date given, you will not have to pay any interest.
Be very careful when using a credit card. Small purchases mount up very quickly - keep a record of what you spend. If you spend more than you really mean to and can't pay it all back in time, you will be charged interest.
Take great care of your card. If it is lost or stolen, report it immediately.
