Revolving credit allows a credit card holder to borrow repeatedly, as long as the account stays within its credit limit. Each purchase reduces the available credit, while payments restore it. For example, a card with a $5,000 limit and a $1,000 balance has $4,000 available to use. Interest is generally charged on balances carried into the next billing cycle.
