Your payment due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you any interest an purchases if you pay your New Balance by the payment due date each month. This is called a grace period on purchases. If you do not pay the New Balance in full 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 cash advances and balance transfers (if available on your account) on the transaction date. If you have a balance subject to a deferred interest promotion, that balance is excluded, 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 deferred 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 the New Balance less any excluded promotional balances in full by the payment due date each billing cycle. In addition, certain promotional offers may take away the grace period on purchases. Other promotional offers not described above may also allow you to have a grace period on purchases without having to pay all or a portion of the promotional balance by the payment due date. If either is the case, the promotional offer will describe what happens. Now we Cakdate 1/Mr Balance Subjed to Interest Nate.
