Avoid Credit cards to bank Transfer - My experience

I have many credit cards, and I get around 1.5%, after paying the processing fee for money transfer to bank through CC.

Initially everything was fine but slowly as I felt I had more money, my spending started increasing.

From the last two months, I am able to pay the CC bill only by other CC.

For this month - I have outstanding around 75k and I have only 34k in my bank  account.

I was thinking that I am smart enough to not fall in the debt trap, and I will only use credit cards to gain cashback. but eventually due to park plus and livquik wallet and housing rent payment and various tricks, I now feel trapped.

Although I do have an emergency fund and I can pay the outstanding by using that.

I am now thinking of stopping all this and doing only genuine spending

Where have you spent the money?

- If you have only done a bank transfer then money should be present somewhere. If you have spent the money somewhere then analyze that, and check which are those spendings.


If you're not able to control/manage your CC spending then credit to bank transfer is not a problem but instead having CC is the problem.

What methods you will use for money transfer for bank account

Only one method will suffice - Contact IT department. They will award you with extra incentive to rotate money. If you rotate above 10 lacs, incentive will be tripled. Biggest rotator each FY gets the highest possible civilian honor - The Bharat Ratna.

On a serious note, life is too short and precious for all this crap. Save this time and spend it with your family. The returns will be unmatchable.

OP has smartly posted half cooked details, no matter how much u rotate from one cc to other cc/ bank to get 1.5- 5% profit, at the end, money must be there in ur bank ac which u have transferred from cc.

But here, i think OP has used that transferred amount for personal use and thinking that he will keep rotating money from one cc to another cc to avoid paying cc due from his salary/any other income.

Cc money rotation is not helpful as it creates a debt trap. cc money is ultra short term loan without interest and should be used as such. Only use the amount you have in your savings account on credit card then you will never have any issue while paying back.

save money and buy stuff rather than using emi to buy stuff. if you want a buy a phone, electronic item worth 1 lakh. save 1 lakh and then pay. funny thing is when you will go to buy stuff then you will think again before spending 1 lakh irom your savings.

I use cc only to get points and cashback but never ever used emi ever in my life. When i was earning less I saved money for 10 months to buy a 3d tv worth 85k around 10 years back. Recently I even bought a car using cc. I even thought of buying a shop worth 65 lakh using cc but dropped it as the builder payment site had convivence charges.

Wish to buy a bike/maxi scooter under 5L soon using CC, but most dealers turn down payment through CC or ask for 1 to 2 percent extra...

Any suggestions or ways to negotiate, I'm surely missing something, please guide...

That's the main purpose of Credit Cards.

If you can't control your spending, the best is to avoid it.

I use credit cards just like debit cards. I don't buy anything with cc that I can't buy with cash. Offers, rewards are the only reason I use cc.

idk what u did wrong 🙂 let me tell u what i did cc rotation used the money to do swing trading and earned extra returns + cashback / rewads on cc.

i keep liquidity around 1 lakh + to pay my cc bills relieved and rotate them rest money is making me more money on my swing smiley debt trap whats that ? i even paid off my early stage losses and debts and closed. i dont spend whats not mine but i do make sure to earn even from whats not mine fire sunglasses money makes money only if u know how to make it ✅

warning - strictly no to F&o

learn swing trading only if u sure of trade then do it

keep liquidity cash with you so if your swings are in loss still u can pay the bills  sunglasses fire play smart

Trading with credit is discouraged for a reason. It's all fine and rainbows until one major loss.

Then ALL FALLS DOWN.

You can never be sure of a trade. You can have faith, that is not enough to take a risk like trading with credit card money.

That's fact.

Kitna bhi discipline ki baatein karlo...extra spending toh hoti hi hai

Bahut se log target pure karne liye Gift cards kharid lete hai...fir unko utilise karne ke liye faltu ke spends

Wallets, gift cards ke paise me faltu spend hote hi hai....bank balance ya cash se spend karne me aadmi sochta hai kharch karne se pehle

use the cc for benefits and not let it pile up pay as soon as you make an expense do get the cashback then u would know what money u are left with for the month its as good as using savings via credit card use park plus and cred after using all park plus coupons. park plus give cashback on payment as low as 500 use it. also credit card payment can be done in parts so let it become a hillarious amount that u cant carry. Stop when u dont have money in savings life will be sortef

Meanwhile me : paying credit card bills through credit card withoutany charges or fee for the past 7 months. 🗿🗿🗿🗿 took the Sony xm4, Lenovo IdeaPad, samsung s22 last Dussehra sale on credit card. I'm very lazy to pay bill through my savings account. Never felt once i spent any money,🙄🙄

Sorry but I don't want to disclose how i pay without any charges or fee. Recently, I noticed so many loopholes are being fixed especially when it gets Popular amongst desidime users.

Credits Card is a BIG trap if one cannot control the spending and that is what banks are looking for.

Keep a check on usage and use only the required amount if you can pay back in next 30-40 days.
