It is the amount of interest that is billed to your account for the convenience of using your credit card. There is a 21-day grace period during which no interest will be charged on that month's merchandise purchases. Please note that cash advances do not have a grace period. You can view your current annual interest rate on the card’s Disclosure Statement.
