But First, Why Juggle When You Can Just... Pay Normally?
That's a fair question, my inquisitive friend. Here are a few reasons why you might choose this route:
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
- You're short on funds: Let's be honest, sometimes life throws financial curveballs. This method can be a temporary solution to avoid late fees and penalties.
- You want to meet your HDFC card's spending target: If you're aiming for rewards or benefits, this can help you reach that goal faster. Just remember, spending responsibly is key!
- Convenience is your middle name: Who wants to juggle multiple bank accounts and logins when you can do it all in one go? (Although, technically, you'll be juggling credit cards, but that's beside the point.)
Okay, I'm In! How Does This Juggling Act Work?
Here are your two main options:
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
1. The BillDesk Boogie:
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.

- Head over to the BillDesk website (it's like a financial middleman).
- Enter your HDFC card details and the amount you want to pay for the other bank's card.
- Choose your preferred bank from the list (the one where your other credit card resides).
- You'll be redirected to your other bank's secure login page. Enter your credentials and approve the transaction.
- Voila! You've successfully used your HDFC card to pay your other bank's bill.
2. The Digital Wallet Tango:
- This option involves a third-party digital wallet app like Paytm, PhonePe, or Google Pay.
- Load money onto your chosen wallet using your HDFC card.
- Use the wallet balance to pay your other bank's credit card bill through the app.
Important Note: Remember, there might be charges associated with using these methods. Check with your bank and the payment platform for any fees before proceeding.
The Not-So-Fine Print (Because We Gotta Be Responsible)
- Interest: While you're using your HDFC card to pay another card, interest will still accrue on both cards. So, it's crucial to pay off the entire balance on your HDFC card within the grace period to avoid additional charges.
- Credit card cash advance fees: Some banks might consider this transaction a cash advance, which comes with higher interest rates and fees. Be sure to check your card's terms and conditions to avoid any surprises.
- Impact on credit score: Using a significant portion of your credit limit on either card can negatively impact your credit score.
Remember: This method should be used sparingly and responsibly. It's not a free pass to go on a spending spree! So, use it wisely, juggle responsibly, and keep those credit card bills under control!
