What does "Closing Date" mean on a credit card statement?

I have AMEX and my bill is due May 23rd. I want to use my credit card today to make a small purchase but I don't want that purchase to be added to the May 23rd bill. It says the closing date was April 28th, so does that mean any purchases after April 28th will go onto my June statement? Thanks!|||When you get a statement, all purchases on that statement were made before the statement's closing date.





So you're OK. Anything you purchase between now and the end of May will be on the June statement.|||Yes.
