Billing cycle
What is Billing cycle?
How often a seller charges you, which is not always monthly.
A 28-day cycle bills 13 times in a calendar year, not 12, so “$149 a month” on a 28-day cycle costs $1,937 a year rather than $1,788. The cycle is usually disclosed in the terms, not on the price card, and it is the most common way a headline price understates the real one.
