My Amex Credit card due date is 11th July. I have made the minimum payment due on 10th July and then cleared the rest of the outstanding amount on the 13th July thinking that i can avoid the high interest that is charged on the outstanding balance. But once the statement is generated i see that i was charged Interest fees on the outstanding amount. I contacted Amex customer support and they are telling me that the 3 days grace period post due date is applicable only on late fee charges and that interest will be charged even if the payment is delayed by 1 day.
I told them about the new RBI guidelines but the support executive is quoting their T&C and stating that its not applicable.
Can you guys shed some light on this. Is the 3 day grace period for Credit card bill payment only applicable on late payment fees? Is is true that banks can still charge us Interest on the outstanding amount even though its cleared within the 3 days period?
Thanks
