Credit Card statement // balance transfer end period question

My credit card statement says my balance transfer expires with statement 09/2021.  My 0 percent purchase expires with statement 08/2021.

 

My question:  Does this mean I have to have the balance transfer paid off by the time the 9/2021 statement cuts, or I'll start paying interest?  Or, with the 9/2021 statement cut (and 10/2021 due date), do I have to pay it off by 10/2021 before it starts to accure interest?  Thanks.

@learningtheropesofcredit It means that starting with the 9/2021 statement, you will start to incur interest.  You'd want to pay off the full balance transfer owed from the 8/2021 statement, due in 9/2021, or else you'd start to incur interest.  Once the 9/2021 statement cuts, you would have owed interest on the balance on the 9/2021 statement.  

 

Likewise, any purchases you purchased during the introductory period, you would want to pay off with the 7/2021 statement, or else with the 8/2021 statement previous purchases during the introductory period would start to incur interest.

@portlandmusician thanks! I thought that but wasn't 100 sure.
