Remember: Actual card and loan conditions depend on the financial institution's approved terms and contract.

Do not assume either way

The contract determines the answer.

Better pricing may come with a restricted period

A benefit can be exchanged for less flexibility.

Subtract any penalty from interest savings

Otherwise prepayment looks better than it is.

Request a formal payoff quote

Before making the decision.
