    Question about Credit Cards and Statement Ending Date.?
    It’s a pretty basic question but there are no straight answers concerning it online that I can find. If a credit card statement ends on Monday, but you pay it off Friday(Before the 3pm cutoff time), but you make a purchase on say, Saturday, will that reflect on the statement that doesn’t cut off until Monday?

    Side notes : Yes, this refers to a current situation, but I’m not using it again until Tuesday at any rate. This is simply curiosity going after that elusive cat. lol Another thing, I don’t want to hear anyone in here crying about cutting the card up. I live well within my means and am nearly one year no late payments. I am having a GREAT experience with the card, don’t flood me with your BAD experience. I only want serious answers here related to the question. Thanking you in advance.

    that cut off date is decided buy the card company. it’s always the same to the best of my knowledge, so anything you buy the next day won’t be on the current statement. you can choose the day you want to pay your bill other than that it’s up to the credit card people.
    good luck to ya
