It depends. Obviously the best method is to pay them off completely. If you can't do this, then try to make as large payments as possible- much higher than the minimum payment.

If you can only make the minimum payment, or are struggling to do so, realize one fact: if you have $10,000 of credit card debt, and your average interest rate is 18%, it will take 13 years to pay-off! (see creditcards.com). And the above figure doesn't take into consideration various fees or unpaid interest.
