Messages RE : Account Maintenance XXXX / SYNCHRONY BANK ( ... XXXX ) From : XXXX XXXX XXXX To : Customer Service XX/XX/18 XXXX XXXX Reply Excuse me, XX/XX/2018, you say? This is XX/XX/2018. For last 8 months, all payments have been posted early more than 10 days. Still, this doesn't explain why the {$2.00} fee. Is that a ploy designed for accountholders to enlarge their remaining balance and missing ending of promotion date? 
{ Me : See end date below for purchase promotion. } From : Customer Service To : XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/18 XXXX XXXX Hi XXXX, Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding your Synchrony Bank account, and the opportunity to be of service to you. 
The payment of {$43.00} was received on XX/XX/2018 after the due date printed on your monthly billing statement of XX/XX/2018. Because the minimum payment due was not received by the due date, your account may have incurred an additional late payment fees and/or interest charges. The payment must be received at our payment processing center no later than the due date shown on your monthly billing statement. Please consider possible delays due to mail time when sending your payment. 
As the late payment fee was not paid in full by your next due date, you began to accrue interest on the {$27.00} late fee. 
Your account balance consists of both promotional and non-promotional balance. You may avoid interest on any non-deferred purchases by adding the amount of New/ Non-promotional Purchases to the Minimum Required Payment  from your statement and sending that amount as payment. As of today 's date, your non-promotional balance is {$41.00}, on which interest charges are still applicable. 
We appreciate you as a valued Synchrony Bank account customer. If you have any questions or if we may be of further assistance, please contact us via the Online Message Center or at XXXX Sincerely, XXXX XXXX.
