Min payment on a card with two APR's

Hi

Bit confused.

If i had a balance of 1650 at 16.9 % apr
and a balance of 1750 at 6.9 % apr

How would the minium payment be calculated?

is is 2.25 % of the whole combined value

or 2.25 % to each of the serpeate apr's added together?

Can someone help me :)

Thanks

    I believe it would be 2.25% of the total combined balance but would be credited to the balance with the higher APR.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    If the minimum payment on your card is 2.25% - then both of your options give the exact same figure of £76.50 as a minimum payment.

    This will be allocated first to the interest for the month (for both 'parts' of the debt) and the remainder will pay off a small part of your balance at 16.9%.
