How you can avoid paying interest with Blue Nile credit card financing

Depending on what you are buying, Blue Nile financing offers either a 6 month or a 12 month promotional period, which means that if you pay off your balance within this period, you don’t have to pay any interest on the purchase.

However, something to know is that interest will be charged to your account from the purchase date. If the purchase balance is not paid in full by the end of the promotional period, you will be charged interest payments from the original date of purchase.
