May 18, 2007, Newsletter Issue #65: The two-cycle finance charge

Tip of the Week

Cross credit cards off your credit card comparisons list if they mention a two-cycle billing method for calculating finance charges. With a two-cycle billing method, your credit card company can retroactively charge you interest for items you bought in the previous billing cycle starting on the day you bought the item. This is expensive for you and totally uneccessary. There are many credit cards that calculate finance charges in a way that is much less harmful to your savings account.
