Orchard has got it backwards!

Ok, get this:

 

I picked up a new Orchard Bank card $300 limit.  I tried to get them to up the limit to $500 on activation.  No go.  It is unsecured, btw.

 

I asked them about statement dates and payment dates.

 

Payment due date is around 28th or 29th, usually.

 

Statement date is the 4th.

 

Isn't that a lot of time between?  I would have thought it would be closer time period.

 

So I want to make sure I pay the card down before the 4th, and then make another payment on the due date 24+ days later and not use it till after the statement date comes around.

 

Which of course, I would be using the card more during that month.  So basically I guess I'd be haivng to pay in full twice actually.

HSBC reports the balance you have reporting on the last buisness day of the month, regardless of what your statement date is.
