Can you use a credit card for political donations?
You can use a card to make political donations, but there are pitfalls to avoid.
If you’re a credit card user and you want to avoid getting into debt, it’s critical to create a budget and stick to it. Avoid spending more with your card than you can pay off each month. Better yet, pay your balance down to zero each week if your budget allows it.
