First Billing cycle vs. Next billing cycles
The first billing cycle is shorter. The interest-free period lasts around 30 days because:
-
The billing period is 15–17 days long only.
-
The due date is 15 days after the end of the billing cycle.
-
So the total interest-free period in the first cycle is only about 30 days.
After your first billing cycle, your next billing cycles will follow a regular monthly schedule. This means your purchases can enjoy up to 45 days interest-free, boss!
-
Regular 30-day cycle + 15 days until the due date = 45 days
Here’s a table to help you better understand how your first billing cycle compares to the next billing cycles, boss.
