what is the difference between credit card and charge card?

Answer #1

Hi,

No difference. They mean the same thing…charge card is more colloquial (kind of ‘slang’ in America).

Answer #2

Yep… same thing…

Answer #3

Traditionally, a credit card is revolving credit, meaning your minimum payment is less than your balance and you pay interest on the balance you don’t pay. A charge card you pay off the ballance every month. This is an old school definition and nowadays the two terms are used for each other often.
