About to exchange can I spend on my credit card?

MWT said:Only reason I wouldn't do it is 'about to exchange and complete' can always change, but if the plan is to pay it off in full and it doesn't push the balance on the cards past the previously declared total it is hard to see why it would have an effect on the lender.0

You are about to do the biggest spending in your life. Not sure any black friday will worth that. I mean I don't personally think it will be any problem, you just use your credit card as usual ( like how you use before and still get mortgage approval ), but I wouldn't do anything until i get the key though.0
