一種由銀行或發卡機構核發的付款卡。持卡人可先用卡支付商品或服務，之後再償還帳單金額；若未在期限內繳清，通常會產生利息。
用法：可數名詞。泛指時用「a credit card」；談論多張卡時用複數。常說「用信用卡付款」，但英文通常說「pay by credit card」或「pay with a credit card」。

學習提示
・「credit card」是兩個字，不寫成「creditcard」。
・「charge something to a credit card」表示把某筆消費記到信用卡帳上，例如「I charged the train tickets to my credit card」。
・信用卡帳單的「繳清全額」可說「pay the credit card bill in full」；若只繳部分金額，可能會被收取利息。
