: Mr. Henderson considered the Big Lots Credit Card , which offered deferred interest for 6 months on purchases over $250 or 12 months on purchases over $750. He knew this was a great deal, provided they paid the full balance before the promotional period ended to avoid high interest charges.

They learned that if they utilized the 90-day purchase option , they could own the furniture outright with only a small markup.
