HOW TO AVOID PAYING INTEREST. Your due date is at least 25 days after

the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you interest on purchases

if you pay your entire balance by the due date each month. We will begin to

charge interest on new purchases made under a Low APR, Equal Payment

or Budget Payment Credit Plan from the date of purchase.

I pay my statement balance in full each month-  through June I had $0 in interest. Since July that hasn't been the case.  If I'm not billed for something yet how can I avoid interest then?? !

I won't use their card-  I'm going to think long and hard about my business with them. To keep this important thread from getting poofed I won't suggest what this reminds me of (my ex had a gambling problem...).

I took their card off my account and put another as default. I also went under the 'easy pay mananger' page and changed all those charges to go to the updated card.

That's exactly what I did, too @Ibby114.

@SilleeMeeOriginally I jsut changed my default credit card and thought that would take care of all future charges. I'm so glad I saw your post!

You've got the HSN store card!!!! and, they're also charging interest on easy-pays!  WOW! HSN must have been 'in' on this little deal!?! And, I have always thought they were a trustworthy, dependable company!  Ya think the new CEO/management team effected this? It's gonna backfire! KARMA.....

@viva923 They've been doing this for years.  There are plenty of cards that charge you an annual fee just to have the card.

I think it's both cards @IlliniGirl88

@IlliniGirl88

I've only had personal experience from the HSN Mastercard, but have just found out from other posters here it's happening on the HSN store card now also!

Thank you so much @eddyandme for pointing this out. I would never have known otherwise because I never read the "fine print" on my statements!

And I avoid them like the plague!!!!! Rarely do their benefits warrant an annual charge.
