At the risk of sounding very preachy, one should not make card purchases if one has to finance them, in my opinion. If things are that tight, suppose next month's money doesn't come in or you need it for something else? You're out big time in this scenario, you're out your $1000 card which was collateral. Or you borrow the $500 from someone else to repay PWCC and you're off to the familiar races.
