If he changed it to the 5th I would think it would close December 5th. I don't see a bank giving a person ~ 10 weeks interest free to make a payment after the first statement cuts.
If his last statement closed 11/15/17 and they made the new closing date 1/2/2018 you could make charges on 11/16/2017 and not pay them until late January 2018 and accrue zero interest.
If that works I bet a lot of people would love to know as they could extend the time to pay interest free.
