    It all depends when your statement is produced.  You have a regular statement cycle and anything purchased between those 2 dates appears on the next statement with the exception that it may take a couple of days to be cleared so a purchase very close to the statement date may be carried over to the next one.

    The credit card billing cycle works like this as an example

    Spend on day 1 January
    Statement is produced on day 19 January which includes the spend
    Statement must be paid by day 10 February

    or

    Statement has been produced on 19th January
    Spend on or after day 19 January
    Spend appears on 19th February statement 
    Statement must be paid by day 10 March

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
