COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

6 credit card myths costing you money

Most people pick a card based on one of these beliefs. All of them are wrong.

MYTH

Carrying a balance each month builds your credit score.

FACT

Paying in full every month is strictly better. Carrying a balance costs 36–42% APR and does nothing extra for your score.

MYTH

Cards with annual fees are never worth it.

FACT

A ₹5,000 fee card with airport lounge access + 5× rewards routinely delivers ₹15,000+ in annual value for moderate spenders.

MYTH

All reward points are worth the same ₹1.

FACT

Point value ranges from ₹0.20 to ₹1.00 per point depending on issuer and redemption. How you redeem matters as much as how you earn.

MYTH

Having more credit cards will tank your CIBIL score.

FACT

Multiple cards lower your utilisation ratio (total balance ÷ total limit), which can actually improve your score if you don't overspend.

MYTH

EMI on a credit card is truly interest-free.

FACT

Most "0% EMI" schemes include a 2–3% processing fee and forfeit the interest-free period on the purchase amount.

MYTH

Closing an old card you never use is a smart move.

FACT

Closing a card removes its limit from your utilisation calculation. Scores can drop 20–40 points — especially if it's your oldest card.

REWARD OPTIMISATION

4 tips that actually move the needle

Specific, quantified, and immediately actionable — not generic advice.

🎯

Match every category to the right card

Using a flat 1% cashback card where a category-specific card offers 5% costs you ₹4 on every ₹100 spend. Over a year on ₹5,000/month grocery spend alone, that's ₹2,400 left on the table.

📅

Hit fee-waiver milestones intentionally

Most premium cards waive the annual fee at ₹1–3L of annual spend. Routing all household bills through one card often clears the threshold without any lifestyle change.

🔄

Redeem points regularly — they devalue or expire

HDFC Reward Points expire in 2 years. Amex points don't expire but both issuers have devalued points quietly. Waiting for a "perfect" large redemption almost always loses value.

🏨

Price perks at their actual market rate

Airport lounge access costs ₹1,000–2,000 per visit. A card offering 8 visits/year at a ₹3,000 fee is a 3–5× ROI on the fee alone, before any reward earnings.
