I have an interest free Go MasterCard and I stupidly made purchases ontop of the original interest free purchase.

and now I'm paying interest but for some reason whatever many I pay comes off of the interest free amount and not the other purchases.

Is this how these cards work if you make extra purchases i.e.. using it as a normal credit card, you can't pay them off until you pay out the interest free purchase?

balance of the card is ~$3000 made up of ~$2300 (whats left of the original interest free amount expires 07/2020) and ~$700 (Normal CC purchases)

My Question is can I make the card interest free again by making a payment of $700 or do I need to pay the full $3000?

  Contact them and ask them to change your payment hierarchy

  Also ask them to reallocate your past payments they way you want them. Generally they are ok with this

  CC accounts opened after July 2012 should have payment hierarchy default as - payments to be applied to higher interest items/charges first.

  Presume your account was opened before July2012

  as chumlee mentioned above - call and ask them to change your payment hierarchy - they cannot say no.
