Treat Yourself\u2026 but Not at the Expense of Your Score<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Easter sales can be tempting, but keeping your spending in check helps protect your score. A good rule of thumb is to keep credit utilisation under <strong>30%<\/strong> of your limit\u2014and always aim to pay off the full balance when you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy now, pay later (BNPL) options are everywhere these days, but remember: even if payments are interest-free, missing one could lead to a mark on your credit file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%8C%B7_5_Time_for_a_Spring_Clean\"><\/span>\ud83c\udf37 5.
