Question about Interest?

When does the "grace period" start? Is it after the statement cuts?

The minute it says APPROVED Smiley LOL

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Question about Interest?

Your grace period on a charge starts after you have been billed for said charge (statement cut).

I did. Normally, I don't really even pay attention to due dates & when the statement cuts because I always make a payment when I get my paid. But with my new BoA BBR card, you have to let a balance post to each statement, so I'm trying to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row to make sure I pay no interest ever.

 

@PokemonMaster Thanks!

You have to pay the statement balance by the due date to not pay interest.
