I have £500 spare cash this month, now should i pay off one of my credit cards balance being £587 @ 1.492% or pay it off my other credit card balance being £2,255 @ 1.313% or put it in my savings account and use for spending money for my holiday, i'm tempted to pay off the first credit card. any advice appreciated

I agree, but then where will you get your holiday spending money from? (please don't say a cash advance on one of the cards!!).scorpiolady wrote: »...i'm tempted to pay off the first credit card. any advice appreciated0 -

If you paid off the £587, would you get a transfer offer from that provider that could allow you to transfer some or all of the £2255 to a better rate?
Agree about the cash advance!!!For what I've done...I start again...And whatever pain may come ...Today this ends... I'm forgiving what I've done -AF since June 20070 -
Im new to this so i dont think my advice is gonna be any good, but i know personally i would try and get a 0% credit card then transfer the balance from your remaining cards over...
as for the spare £500, what would relax you more a holiday or knowing that your debt is being reduced by £5000 -
Not a bad suggestion, eastie256 don't under-rate yourself!For what I've done...I start again...And whatever pain may come ...Today this ends... I'm forgiving what I've done -AF since June 20070
