No, the extra is still in the black. It's above and beyond the minimum. You CHOOSE to put the money to the cc. You could just spend it.

Sometimes it makes sense to pay the minimum and sometimes not. But if you're making the minimum and have money left over, you're in the black, you just have to make sure you're not spending more (ie continue to charge and only pay the minimum.)
