<prompt> Human: Hey guys, I need to make a high dollar purchase on my credit card but my current balance is too high to make the purchase. If I pay off some of the credit card my next statement isnt for another month or so will it free up this money to be used? How does doing stuff like this affect me if at all?Thanks.edit: sorry if this is the wrong sub, wasnt really sure where else to post. ive only used a credit card for a month now :  <response>: You could do that, or, call your CC company and ask for a spending limit increase. Often theyll approve it for a 50-100 increase in just a few minutes on the phone.
