3 Ways To Pay Off Credit Card Faster | Lower The Interest Rate

credit card debt sucks, its like quick sand, you pay some off then all of a sudden you get back in debt or you cant even afford to pay it off ( because the enterest just adds everything back )



so in this video, I’m going to give you guys optons on how to negotiate interest rates, best way pay to pay of debt and the best to stay of debt



now I have to be honest, I will give you options but I will tell you also how I do it, you can chose which way is best for you

First call (check offers for balance transfer and call to negotiate)

First you know how credit card companies always have some promotions

Get a credit card and no interest

Get a credit card and spend x and you get back some cash ( sign up bonuses )

Well credit cards also have offers for balance transfer ( these are cards that allow you to transfer your debt from one place to that card for free sometimes and not pay any interest for usually 12-21 months

Here is how you find these cards

Type into google, the best baalnce trasnfer credit cards avaialble

Currently the best one I see is the Citi Simplicity Card

0% interest for the 21 months ( after that It goes up to 18-30% )

12 months on purchases ( don’t fall for this )



Here is what you do: Option A

Call your credit card and tell them about this offer you found online ( say I got an offer from citi ) sounds better than I found this

Ask them to speak to someone who has the authority to change interest rates

Ask them can you match this or what can you offer me( I’m trying to pay down my credit card )

If they say no, tell them I’ve been a customer for long time, what can you offer me ( if they lower it great and if they don’t we still have another option )



Options B:

You can either transfer to the balance trasnfer card and usually be charged 3-5% of the balance and then pay it off

If you do this cancelled the other credit card so you don’t get into double debt

If you deiced to keep the lower interest card that’s fine but pay it off and then cancell it



Avalanche and Snowball method exactly

So when it comes to paying off debt you have to treat like its on attacck on your future

Beucase it is, everyone on average is broke, and they all have debt, and these credit card companies, they want to get paid

So you have to set up for war



First:

Stop using the credit cards and stop getting into more debt

Makes no sense to try to pay off debt

As you keep adding more to the balance



Second:

Decide how much of your income you are going to put towards debt

I would run a barebone budget, sell everthign I don’t need and all extra money from my income dumb it into the credit card debt



Third:

Avalanche ( you pay the card with the highest interest rates after negotiation obviously, the balance doesn’t matter ) – this saves money mathematically

Snowball method ( pay the debt with the smallest balance, this builds momentum and makes you feel like you are making progress)

I used the avalanche method, but that’s what worked best for me



Stay out of debt (One bill or no bill )

I use the one bill method ( which is to maintain credit without going into real debt )

However I’m slowly moving towards closing down all my credti cards and removing the option of debt overall

Its up to you

Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge .

Tommy I been killin it with the Snowball method

However you perhaps forgot to mention “snowballing” the payment amounts into larger payments on next debt once one account is done. Keeping minimum payments on all other accounts. By account 4 you are paying the amount of 1-4 after 1-3 have been accomplished

Wow, Tommy this helped a lot. I got one of my credit card APR from 34% to 18% for the next six months. Thank you so much!

I remember you made a video and if I remember correctly you said you were gonna get rid of all your credit cards I can’t tell you what to do but my suggestion is we don’t know our future and I would suggest to just keep them just incase you ever need them 😅 emergency of any sort or if you ever try to buy property and need banks for credit or anything you just never know I guess obviously you know your finances and finances better than I do but it’s just a suggestion 😅 love your videos 🎉

[gw]

Pay as you go! And don't go into debt if you don't have the money!!CREDIT

[ItsBryan]

This . But when I get
The new card how do I transfer from other card?

[lennybruce]

[mackford]

Just stared using the one bill mether works great

[EviLL]

I called chase using the Tommy hack, they told me i have the lowest apr available 🙄

[evieparada]

or u can pay the cc debt with a line of credit & then pay off the line of credit slowly since it has a lower interest rate, what do you think of this? Is this a good idea too?

[awalker]

they came off 1000 im still at it with them lol

[danmeck]

I am about to finishing paying off a card that has a monthly fee of £3. I want to close it but it will hurt my Score. What should I do??
