Tips to avoid monthly credit card interest:

Follow payment guidelines as outlined by the issuer on the back of each credit card bill, and payoff balances in full before the grace period expires.

Use the preprinted envelope provided by the credit card company.

Include the billing coupon, and be sure to write the amount being paid in the box provided.

Make sure checks are legible and the payment amount is correct.

Write the credit card account number on the check.

Send payment with proper postage at least one week in advance of the due date to the payment address requested by the issuer.

Consider online bill paying. Issuers, including Discover, American Express and First USA, accept online payments.

If the due date is looming, consider sending the payment by express mail or wiring the payment. These express services may prove cheaper than paying monthly interest.

How to lower credit card interest rates:
Tired of paying high interest on your credit card charges? If you have been a good customer and make timely repayments, many issuers will negotiate a lower APR.

Call your card issuer, and politely explain how you've been a good customer by making payments on time and not going over your limit.

Let them know that you are unhappy with your interest rate, and that you want to speak to someone who can reduce your APR.

Chances are, the customer service person can handle this right away without needing to transfer you to a manager or supervisor. If you've been a good customer, the issuer is likely to lower your card interest rate in order to keep your business. If so, request the issuer to send you a letter detailing the new APR rate and when it will go into effect.
