Are we making credit card sacrifices to the debt gods? Not quite!

- Not all cards are created equal: Check if your HDFC card is eligible for BillPay. Some cards have reward restrictions or minimum payment requirements.
- Pay it off fast: Remember, you're essentially transferring debt, so make sure you can pay off the HDFC balance within the interest-free period to avoid additional charges.
