  1. 5 Things You Should Do When You Get A New Credit Card

  2. You must keep a few things in mind before you start using your new credit card! Opening the envelope that holds your credit card is always an exhilarating experience. It gives you an extra layer of freedom to spend & realize all the dreams that you suppressed with an ‘I’ll buy it with my new credit card’ statement! To tear the seal & open the letter that holds your maximum credit limit is an exciting task for every individual.

  3. ACTIVATE YOUR CARD Once all these processes are taken care of, make sure you sign on the white strip given at the back of your card. Alternatively, you can register the card on your account through the net banking platform. You must simply call the given number & authenticate your details. These days you can also receive an OTP on your registered mobile number to set your card PIN.

  4. DESTROY OLD CARDS In case this new credit card is an upgrade from the bank or opted by you, destroy the old card by cutting through the magnetic strip. In any case, maintain the practice of destroying the cards as soon as they expire & order for a replacement. In case your current card is a replacement, then check to see if your autopay settings are carried forward or not.

  5. READ THE RULES & REGULATIONS Ensure a thorough read through them all as they enlist the rules and regulations that you are liable to follow. Some credit cards have relaxed rules when it comes to repayment, several credit cards, especially the ones with a high limit, have stricter policies & regulations. Apart from the blessed document that holds your card & its limit, there are other documents that are a part of the kit. These documents also hold the rewards system that your card brings for you. Understand the process of redemption & cashback facilities.

  6. SPEND WITHIN YOUR LIMITS TO PAY WITHIN YOUR COMFORT To make sure that your credit score is not hampered, make full payment of your credit card dues every month. This will not only maintain your credit score but will also reflect positively on your credit history,showing you as a responsible borrower. However high your credit limit may be, make sure that you hold your horses on the expenditures.

  7. CHECK YOUR CREDIT SCORE Conduct regular credit checkto know how your score has progressed & what measures you must take to repair it, if needed. Use it to know where you stand & tap any errors or frauds when you see suspicious changes in your score. This way you will be vigilant to report an identity theft in time.
