Billing cycle
Market basicsThe period between two credit card statement dates.
In plain terms
A purchase just after a statement gets the longest interest-free period; one just before gets the shortest.
Every term is defined twice: once the way a filing would put it, and once the way somebody would explain it to you across a table. The second one is usually the one that sticks.
