How the 32.99% APR works

The standard purchase APR applies to any balance that isn’t on a promotional plan, and to promo balances after the promo ends. On deferred-interest plans, it’s also the rate used to calculate the interest that’s added if the promo isn’t paid in full. There’s a grace period of at least 21 days: pay non-promo purchases in full by the due date and you won’t be charged interest on them.

Penalty APR

maximum

The late fee can’t be more than the minimum payment that was due. A penalty APR may apply to your account after a late or returned payment, and it can stay in place until you make a run of on-time payments. Check your agreement for the exact rules.

The simplest way to never pay a late fee is autopay for at least the minimum.

How the minimum payment is calculated

Your minimum payment is generally any past-due amount plus about 3.5% of your balance, rounded up. Equal-payment plans add their fixed monthly amount. If your balance is small, the minimum may be the full balance.

per month

That gap is why minimum payments rarely clear a deferred-interest promo in time.
