OK, is what I’m doing allowed?
I received my CIC about two weeks ago, and I already put a fair amount of spend on it. It lists my payment due date of February 23rd.
I have problems linking my credit union to my Chase account. But it’s easy for my to just go to my local Chase branch and pay my balance there. I’ve been doing that ever since we got a car loan from them, five years ago.
Of course, I don’t have a payment due right now. But I can pay down my balance now, and hopefully open up some credit limit space for our Hawaiian trip in 10 days. ($4,000 limit; spent about $2,200 so far.)
We leave for Hawaii January 27, and we won’t get back until February 15th. The time period between the 15th and the 23rd will be crazy, and I’m not sure I can make it to my Chase office by the 23rd.
If I make a payment on…let’s say January 24th, could it count as my minimum payment due on February 23rd? Or should I try to make time between the 15th and the 23rd to visit the branch?
