Your credit card bill is generally due 21 to 25 days after the end of your billing cycle. You can find your exact due date listed on your monthly statement. Alternatively, you can call the customer service number you see on the back of your credit card for assistance.

Your available credit decreases by the amount of any purchase you make and increases by the amount of any payment. So paying your credit card bill early (and often) can help you avoid maxing out your spending limit and having a purchase get declined. It will also reduce your...
