I have a question. Has anyone here ever paid for your books with a credit card? Long story short, my federal stafford loan is BARELY covering my tuition, and I need to somehow pay for my books (prob. around $1,000 for fall and spring semester) I don't want to touch my savings, because I will be only working weekends during school and that money will be going towards my bills and car payment. I have never had a credit card before (I only have a debit card) so I'm a little scared about applying for one. Should I do this to pay for my books? Will the interest rate be really high if I do this? I really didn't want to have to use a credit card for this, but I may have to.
