period on purchases. If you do not pay the New Balance in toll by the payment due date,
you will not get a grace period on purchases until you pay the New Balance in full for two
billing cycles in a row. We will begin charging interest on rash advances and balance

except for a deterred interest balance in a billing cycle in which the promotion expires
before the payment due date, (the "excluded promotional balances")from the amount
you must pay in full to get a grace period except for any separately required payment on
that balance. In billing cycles in which payments are allocated to deterred interest
balances first, the deferred interest balance will be reduced before any other balance on
the account. However, you will continue to get a grace period on purchases so long as
you pay [he New Balance less any excluded promotional balances in full 6y the payment
