Can earned interest be used to pay credit card’s interest ? : using earned interest for paying interest charged on credit cards

Fatawa Question

Salamo Alikom. I live temporarily in the United States, and I save my money in a bank, where they add APR to my saving account each three months. I also sometimes use the credit card and they charge me interest. Can I use the interest I got as Sadaqah, or to give it in payment for the other interest charges ?
