ILLUSTRATIVE REPAYMENT EXAMPLES (includes introductory rates)	For a purchase of £1,000 on your GM Card.
Monthly Payment	Minimum payment each month	£50 payment each month	£100 payment each month
Taking into account any introductory rates, how much interest will you be charged in the first year?	£73.09	£53.30	£21.89
How much interest will you be charged in the second year?	£115.03	£31.53	£0.00
How long would it take to clear the balance?	19 years 6 months	1 year 11 months	1 year
The above example assumes the following: the transaction takes place on 1st January and you make no further transactions; you always made the payments on the 15th; your statement is produced 31 days after you make the purchase; interest is calculated on the typical 14.9% APR and introductory rates are included.

We recommend that you pay more than the minimum payment whenever possible. If you make only the minimum payment each month it will take you longer and cost you more to clear your balance, as shown in the above example.
