How long will the penalty APR apply? If your APRs are increased for any of these reasons, the penalty APR will apply until you make six consecutive minimum payments when due. Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you any interest on purchases if you pay your entire balance by the due date each month.
