Ans- Our best guess is that you want to know about your billing cycle once you have made payments through your credit card. To give you more clarity on this let’s start by explaining you how you bill is generated.
Let us explain this to you with the help of an example to understand what billing cycle means. Let us say your credit card statement is generated on the 9th of every month. Your credit card billing cycle will start from the 10th of the previous month and continue till 9th of the current month. During this period, all transactions done on your credit card will show up in your monthly credit card statement. This would include all credit card payments, cash withdrawals (if any) and also continuing EMIs on your credit card.
Ans- To use Google Pay (Tez), you need a bank account and a mobile number that is linked to that account and you also must have an ATM or Debit card. So if you have not a debit card, you cannot use any services of UPI.
Ans- Yes. Once your card has arrived, all you have to do is activate it by calling on the customer care number which is present in the contents of the envelope given to you with the credit card. After the card has been activated, you are free to use your new credit card.

Ans- Of course. You can easily pay off your outstanding loans with the help of your credit. However, we would advice you against it as credit cards have a much higher interest rate than a personal loan so it would not be a smart idea to pay off a personal loan with a credit card. You will be paying a lot more in interest amount if you pay through your credit card.
Ans- Actually you cannot. Most online merchants won't allow you to split your payment this way. Online stores usually allow you to combine a gift card with a credit card when you make a purchase, but they rarely let customers use two credit cards, or a credit and debit card mix, to do the same.
