Be incredit on a credit card

[y2j]

Is it possible to be incredit on a credit card. For example I used my credit card to place a �50 bet it won and now I have �100. Would I be �50 incredit if I put it back into my credit card account

Yes you would be in credit as happened to me with a bet.The credit card companies will in some circumstances issue you with a cheque for the amount but arenot keen on this.Another good alternative is to spend it

I've in credit on my credit card at the moment by �50 - I accidently paid the outstanding balance twice - what a muppet!

It would be in credit and you wouldn't receive any inteerst on it.
If your credit limit is �500 you could then buy something for �550

Not only is it possible, but I have actually paid money in deliberately before.

My credit card had an offer on that if you purchased your holiday using the card, you got free travel insurance. I only had a �1500 limit at the time but the holiday cost around �2k - so I paid in �500 and then purchased the holiday.

An ex-manager of mine used to pay into his credit card before he went abroad - and then purchased everything on his card - it can also give you extra rights on purchases.

I believe AMEX (American Express) offers a service to credit your credit card (if that makes sense!)
