Definition of grace period. : a period of time beyond a due date during which a financial obligation may be met without penalty or cancellation.
Some balance transfers may also be excluded from a grace period, depending on the terms of your card. Grace period is a holdover. Credit cards aren't required to provide a grace period, but almost all of them do, with the typical period being at least 25 days -- the norm for major issuers. If your due date falls on a weekend, the deadline extends to the next business day.
