Visit an appliance store with a credit program. Although you can use any type of credit card to buy a washing machine, a store card can offer certain advantages. Some stores that offer these types of programs include Sears and Home Depot.

Apply for the store credit card when you are making your washing machine purchase. New cardholders approved for the store's credit program will often be offered an additional percentage off of their purchase price. Stores can usually notify you immediately whether or not you have been approved for credit after you have given them your name, Social Security Number and address.

Review the terms and conditions of the credit program you are using to pay for the washing machine. As an example, you may be offered no-interest payments for a certain period of time under the program. However, at the end of the time period, if you have not paid back the full amount, the back interest will be applied to the card.

Make timely payments once you start receiving the credit bills for the washing machine. If you don't pay the bill, it can adversely affect your credit and be reported to the major credit reporting agencies.
