Credit Card From Commercial Bank

Akki4u
By Akki4u

Hey, I just got a credit card from Commercial Bank, Even though the guy from the bank explained me the terms and condition associated with it, i am still confused!! All i remmeber is that i will be charged 4 % as interest. My credit limit is 5000QAR
My Question
1. Does the Interest fall on the amount of purchase or on the limit i have?
Example : i do a purchase of 2500, 4% interest on the amount is 100QAR (so i pay 100 extra)
or 4 % on my limit that is 5000, which will cost 200 extra on my purchase?

2. Will i get some time to repay the amount without being charged interest?
TIA

hi to all,

year 2015 I did my annual leaved and go back to my country, but unfortunately my company did not allow me to go back due to the project completion. On that time I have unpaid credit card in commercial bank approximately 4K, now planning to apply Permanent Visa in Canada but one of the requirements are police clearance from Qatar, is there any chances that I have record in police? for unpaid credit card and no final exit?

Hoping for your answer.

Once credit card issued on your name ,it will be in your liability list even if you did't used it.It's always better to have a credit card for online transactions as mentioned above.In my experience i'm using Doha Bank credit card for buying stationary items ,electronics or whatever household utilities from Lulu .It means a lot because of 5% cash back and 0% interest scheme for 6 months for the electronics.No need to transfer your salary for the same.I'm saving 50 Qar for each 1000 Qar purchase from Lulu.' It does't mean that Lulu is the best shopping mall ,comparatively an average shopping center . There is no Annual fee for the card .

In QIB annual fee for credit card is 500 per year. And limit is your one month salary. Only condition is whatever amount u used in a month will be deducted at the end of the month. No calculations no mental torture no interest. In addition u will get qmiles to be used on Qatar airways.

Interest fall on the amount of purchase only. That also only 1.5% and not 4%. If you take CASH thru the CREDIT CARD, then only the charges are high 4.5% cash advance fees CBQ charges. If you pay your monthly balance credit, before 15th of next month, then there will not be any interest charged. The Credit card shield charges newly they have introduced.... so better pay all the amount within the end of the same month, then no charges. CBQ or any bank make money from the poor customers like us and that also they dont tell us clearly anything about the charges when you open an account. All banks are after giving personal loan to you and later kill you with all the interest. So better dont take any credit cards from any bank.

My monthly credit shield increases from QR29 to QR38 sometimes QR41. I don't know how CBQ calculated this amount. And I have to pay QR200 yearly for credit card renewal. This card is a sh*****t inside my wallet. My advise for Akki4u please don't use any credit card unless for very important online transaction.

You pay the minimum, then you lose more as there is the remaining balance charges that will be around QR100 that will be on top of your bill until you have fully paid the amount you borrowed.
