Answered By Mike Killian: There are a number of ways to check your credit card balance.
The most certain way is to keep your receipts and keep a running tally. You
should do this anyway to verify entries when your credit card statement is sent
to you. Check each receipt not only to insure you actually made the purchase but
that the total is correct. You can also check your balance by looking at your
statement when it arrives. But if you need your balance sooner there is usually
an 800 number in association with your card that you can call and get an
automated teller response or a live counselor. Often times you can also set up
an account to view your credit card account online. But beware of the fact that any
statement online or over the phone might not include your most recent
transaction. Therefore keeping credit card receipts is always the safest bet.
