I have a Best Buy credit card and made a purchase on a " no interest for XX months '' promotion that expires in XXXX. There is only a small balance left on this promotion. I realized this month that the total balance shown on my monthly statement does not include this outstanding promotional balance. So for several months, I have been paying my balance in full - I thought - but in reality I have only been paying for the last month 's purchases, and my promotional balance has not been paid. I think this is incredibly misleading - my " account balance '' should reflect my entire balance. I should not need to carefully read through my entire statement to find a separate promotional balance.
