| Interest free daysInterest free days | Interest free days are the period you have to pay off your credit card balance before you’re charged interest on it. St. George offers an interest free period of up to 55 days on all it’s credit cards. Exactly how many days you get will depend on when you make purchases during your statement cycle. Here’s how it works:You’re interest free days begin at the beginning of your statement, not when you make a purchase. So if your monthly statement covers from the 1st March to the 31st, and you buy a new computer on the 1st, you’ll have the full 55 days to pay for it before you’re charged interest. But if you had bought it on March 31st, it would still appear on that statement, but 30 of your interest free days would have already passed, meaning you have only 25 left to pay for your computer before being charged interest. | ||||||||||||||||||||
