You hear all these stories about credit card balances like our country is in peril. But many people like myself buy everything on credit cards (mortgage, car payments, vacations, etc.) for the points, yet pay it off in full every statement. I’ve never collected interest on a credit card, yet I continually carry $20-$30k on my balances.

POLL: Regardless of your payoff habits, what is your current credit card balance?

supertux Nice.

To further clarify, a selection of $0 means you either don't use a credit card at all, or this morning you paid off all

How are you paying your mortgage on a credit card? I didn't think you could.

You can, but there is a fee to do it usually.

3% fee seems to outweigh benefits

The credit union I’m with allows it without any fees. I use Citi Double Cash

Say the name of your credit union so I can promptly move my mortgage to them.

Haha, no way. One of you blokes probably work for them and will take it right to

Correct. It was intentional because the linked thread is using numbers that are based on outstanding balance as well.

Currently using a CC as a short term loan so mine's higher than normal

I have absolutely no clue. Could be $1000, could be $11,000.

Fair enough. Just pick one at random then. Or pick the one that will throw off the poll the most.

I suspect it’s between $2000 and $8000k. But idk.
