Can you pay Barclaycard early?

in Credit cards
Is it possible to pay off a Barclay card before the statement is out? As a example, my card currently has a £0 balance, if I made a £300 purchase today, would I be able to login tomorrow and pay it off in full or would I have to wait for the statement to be generated?

    It might not show as an active account on your credit report.

    Wow thanks everyone, talk about fast replies. If it may not show up as active on my credit report is it best to wait for the statement?

    You can once the transaction is on your electronic statement and not just showing as 'pending'. The payment is normally applied within 2 hours and can be spent again.

    If you are not doing this to free up more available credit for another purchase i would wait until your monthly statement is generated that way a balance is recorded on your history other than just £0.

    You can yes.

    But then you might as well just use your debit card and pay for it.

    Dont just chuck your statement in the bin. Open it check its zero balance. Burn or shred it
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

    Except no S75 protection if you pay by debit card.

    Yes. Wait until the statement is produced.

    Otherwise your statement balance will be shown as £0 on your credit reports.
