The Tiffany & Co credit card provides financing options and perks for loyal customers But you need to pay your bill on time each month to avoid fees and interest charges. This guide covers the various ways to pay your Tiffany credit card bill conveniently online, over the phone, by mail or in a Tiffany store.
Why Paying On Time Matters
There are penalties if you don’t make at least the minimum payment by the due date:
- Late Fee – Up to $40 for overdue payments.
- Interest – Any unpaid balance accrues interest around 28% APR.
- Credit Score Damage – Missed payments get reported to credit bureaus.
Paying late also causes interest to compound and the total balance to grow. Establishing responsible payment habits now helps maintain good credit.
Payment Due Date
Tiffany credit card statements close on the 16th of each month, The payment is then due on the 12th of the following month
Say, a bill that ends on April 16th will have a payment due date of May 12th.
Check your online account anytime to view your next bill’s due date. Mark your calendars to avoid forgetting.
Minimum Payment Amount
If you can’t pay the full balance, at least pay the minimum amount by the due date. The minimum payment equals:
- $29 or 2.5% of balance (whichever is greater)
- Any unpaid minimum payments from previous months
- Any overlimit or past due amounts
Making only minimums results in costly interest accumulation over time
How Tiffany Applies Payments
When you make a payment, Tiffany applies the money in this order:
- Fees like late charges
- Interest charges
- Transactions with the lowest interest rates first
Higher rate purchases stay on the balance longer accruing more interest. Paying more than the minimum helps pay down your actual charges faster.
Ways to Pay Your Tiffany Credit Card
You have several options to pay your Tiffany credit card bill conveniently:
- Online – Login to your account and schedule electronic payments.
- Auto-Pay – Set up recurring automatic payments from your bank account.
- Mobile App – Use the Tiffany app to pay instantly online.
- By Phone – Call the number on your bill and pay with a service agent.
- By Mail – Send a check or money order to the payment address.
- In a Tiffany Store – Make payments at any Tiffany retail location.
For fastest processing, pay online, through the mobile app, or with auto-pay. Mailed payments take longer to post.
Pay the Current Balance in Full
To avoid interest charges, pay your full current balance by the due date each month. The current balance includes your most recent statement balance plus any new transactions.
If you paid in full last month but made new charges, your current balance will exceed your statement balance. Pay the full current balance shown on your bill or online.
What If You Can’t Pay in Full?
If you can’t pay off the entire balance this month, take these steps:
- Pay at least the minimum to avoid late fees.
- Pay as much extra as possible to minimize interest.
- Avoid further charges until the balance is paid down.
- Contact Tiffany to check hardship options.
- Review your budget and see where you can cut back to pay more.
Carrying a credit card balance long term leads to expensive interest fees over time.
