Reply to comment by Interested_Redditor in Does paying your credit cards weekly rather than monthly affect your credit score (positively or negatively)? by FromCarthage

Do not pay interest on a credit card if at all possible. It does not help your credit score.

I'm not sure if that's what you meant by "letting the balance be billed" but if it is, it's bad advice.

No, paying interest is not the point. Paying the balance due after it's been billed is the advice.

I just don't think I've ever heard someone use the word "billed" in this context.

I interpreted what you said as "wait until they charge you for it, then pay" which I interpreted the charge as the interest.

I think it's also because nobody would ever pay a balance before its billed (like, pay in advance on the credit card I guess?) so it makes it hard to interpret your advice I guess.

Just a misunderstanding.
