Understanding 0% APR Financing Plans.
0% APR with Equal Monthly Payments promotions let you make a qualifying purchase and pay for it over a specified amount of time with a 0% APR.
You may see this promotion advertised as “No Interest Until January 2024 with Equal Payments” or “0% APR for 12 Months With Equal Payments”
(please note: These examples are for reference only. The duration of your promotion may vary.)
How it works
-
No interest will be charged on eligible purchases from the date of initial purchase until the balance is paid in full.
-
A promotional fee may apply and will be shown at the time of purchase.
-
Fixed monthly payments are based on the initial purchase amount and promotional fee (if any), divided by the number of months in the promotional period.
-
There is no pre‑payment penalty.
Throughout the promotional period, your monthly statement will show you:
- the initial purchase date,
- the date the promotional period ends, and
- any outstanding promotional balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Payments
No. Your minimum monthly payment on a 0% APR with Equal Monthly Payments promotion is equal to the initial purchase amount divided by the number of months in the promotional period. Paying your minimum monthly payment will pay off your promotional balance by the end of the promotional period.
No. Generally, we first apply the amount over and above your minimum monthly payment to higher interest balances and older balances.

- If you have two or more 0% APR with Equal Monthly Payments promotional balances, you may be able to redirect the excess amount among those balances desired. To do so, call us at the number on your account statement.

Purchases
Yes. You can make purchases up to your available credit limit.
But remember, other balances affect how your payments are applied. We first apply your payments to the minimum payments due for all balances. The portion of any payment that is larger than your minimum payment is an excess payment.
Generally, we first apply the excess payment to higher interest balances. But, if you have a deferred interest promotional balance, any excess will be applied first to the deferred interest balance during the last two months of the deferred interest promotional period.
