1 Always go for interest free period
2 Use cash back cards where possible, Amex give great deals
3 Bridge capital payments using 0% balance transfer cards
4 Always negotiate balance transfer fees, APR interest rates and annual fees
5 Always clear the payments every month on all non balance transfer cards
6 Don't use credit cards to draw cash from ' hole in the wall' , cheaper option write cheque and in the 'pay to' section ,write 'cash' then draw cash from your bank account
7 Try to use cards that allow transfers directly into a bank account
8 Use credit cards that have internet banking as transfer fees are usually less
9 Never use 0% balance transfer cards for further purchases as card companies who claim 0 % on purchases is usually only certain purchases
10 Get yourself a V.I.P. credit card as transfer fees are normally nil and limits are open
11 look at credit card unsecured loans , some are great deals
12 All cards allow transfers between each other, regular activity of creating and clearing debt usually raises credit score and credit profile
13 Allow up to 5 working days for payments or transfers to clear
14 Transfer money from card to bank account before using funds to buy property
