With a Deferred Interest Promotion, a minimum monthly payment is required, and varies based on your balance and account terms. No interest will be charged on the promotional purchase if you pay the purchase amount in full within the applicable promotional period.

Interest will still accrue at the standard rate for your account. But it is only assessed if you don’t pay the purchase balance within the promotional period. If you only make the minimum payments, you may not pay off your purchase by the end of the promo period. To avoid accrued interest, you must pay in full before the end of the promotional period.

With a Fixed Pay Promotion, a reduced APR is charged on the promotional purchase from the purchase date, and the same fixed payment amount is required monthly.

Interest is assessed on the promotional purchase at the reduced APR, and equal payments are required until the promotion is paid in full. Example: 7.9% APR for 24 months until paid in full.

We calculate the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the daily rate to the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the following balance types, as applicable: purchases and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or special promotions. See below for more details on how this works.

1. How to get the daily balance:
   We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, and subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance. Debt cancellation fees, if any, and late payment
2. How to get the daily interest amount:
   We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.
3. How to get the starting balance for the next day:
   We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the daily balance from step 1.
4. How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle:
   We add all the daily interest amounts that were charged during the billing cycle.

We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. Interest, as calculated above, is added as applicable to each balance type. Minimum interest charges in excess of the calculated interest are treated as a new purchase.

Your payment is due by the Payment Due Date indicated on your monthly billing statement. To avoid late payment fees, pay at least the Total Minimum Payment Due given on your statement.

When making your payment by mail, use the provided payment coupon and allow 7-10 business days for your payment to post.

If you have a Deferred Interest/No Interest If Paid In Full promotional purchase balance:
Pay the entire applicable Promotional Balance by the Promotional Expiration Date.

Note: Deferred interest charges will be shown on each statement, but will not be billed to your account unless your promotional balance is not paid in full on or before the promotional expiration date. If you do not pay your balance in full by the end of the promotional period, interest that has accrued from the purchase date will be charged to the account.

For Non-promotional balances:Pay all non-promotional balance(s) in full each month by your Payment Due Date each month to avoid paying interest.

If your purchase qualified for a Deferred Interest promotion, interest is charged from the purchase date if the promotional balance is not paid in full by the end of the promotional period. Depending on purchase amount, promotion length and payment allocation, the required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off purchase by end of promotional period.

Synchrony Bank sends monthly statements to you which show the Deferred Interest Charge, and the Promotional Expiration Date. Be sure to make at least the minimum payment each month, and plan to pay your balance in full by the end of the promotional period to avoid having the accrued interest charged to your account.

Check your statements to ensure that you're on track to pay off your balance before the promotional expiration date. For more information, watch this informative video about Deferred Interest promotional financing.
