I just got my first credit card about a month ago (an MBNA Visa) and am expecting to receive my first bill soon. How may days/weeks after the bill is issued will the "Payment due date" most likely be?

Don't worry, I haven't gotten myself into hot water with my credit card or anything like that; just trying to organise next month's finances in advance!

Think you get 30 days from bill date. beware that you have to pay the full balanceoff by that date or you have to pay interest on the full amount.

yeah and i have learnt my lesson the hard way and that was to close my mbna credit card as there charges are ridiculous for different things

eg going over your credit limit
and not paying on time.

I have done is create an account on billpay.ie and you can pay your MBNA bill from it. I find it better as it keeps down the bills as when you buy something online you can pay for part of it straight away instead of getting that big bill at the end of the month.
