It depends on your balance, APR, and monthly payment. A $5,000 balance at 22.99% APR with $100/month payments takes about 9 years and costs $5,840 in interest. Doubling to $200/month cuts it to 2.5 years and $1,400 interest.
Minimum payments (usually 1-3% of balance) barely cover interest charges. On a $5,000 balance at 22.99% APR, about $96 of a $100 payment goes to interest in the first month — only $4 reduces your balance.
Pay as much as possible above the minimum. Use the avalanche method (highest APR first) to minimize interest, or the snowball method (smallest balance first) for psychological wins. Consider balance transfer cards with 0% intro APR.
