Run up
Hi,
When I run up high credit card balances, does it mean that I buy a lot of expensive things? People sometimes use 'run up high debts' but when I still have money in my account, using 'debts' doesn't seem quite right.
Is there a similar option or is the example with 'balances' okay?
Thank you.

When I run up high credit card balances, does it mean that I buy a lot of expensive things? Yes, or even a very large number of inexpensive things. 'A debt' means you owe money and you have not paid.
