     I thought at least £100 had to be on the credit card, the "internet" seems to think it's any amount
    The "internet' is correct.
    Total value of the item has to be at least £101.01

    But the payment on the card can be £0.01, which was the question being answered

    Pretty sure it's negative and Google agrees 
    Maybe something wrong with your google, mine shows that people use both negative and positive to mean the same thing.
    If someone is using either word they likely mean credit balance, but you should be able to work it out from the context.
    Nothing wro g with my Google and you are correct people can use what er term they want and we should be able to work out what they mean by context. However when you look at your credit card statement a d there is a positive balance that is money you owe. When there is a minus sign that is money owed to you.
