When you buy something with credit cards, you are availing of the convenience of deferring the payment for the same for up to two months, and have the options of not having to pay any interest during the period. This is however useful only for the time during which you can defer your payment, but ultimately, you are required to pay off your bills to the credit card companies, at the end of each month, otherwise the interest will keep on accumulating, and reach very high rates.

Missing a few months of repayment will affect the interests, because most credit card companies charge interest from the initial transaction dates, until your entire balance amount is cleared. You should also make it a point to repay as much of your balance as possible each month, as clearing only the minimum monthly repayment can turn a nominal balance into preposterous debt amounts for the future.

With the interest free credit cards, you will be charged with steep interest rates once the initial introductory period is over, so before applying for such cards, make sure you are able to repay off the bill amounts after the 0% interest period, otherwise you will end up with huge amounts of debts.
