Monthly means once a month.

Qualifying String of Payments occurs when a customer successfully makes six (6) consecutive Monthly or 12 consecutive Bi-weekly/Semi-monthly payments of at least the amount of the Minimum Payment specified in their Statement by the due date shown on such Statement. In the event that a payment is made more than ten (10) days after its due date or is in an amount that falls short of the required Minimum Payment due, the number of consecutive payments counting toward a Qualifying String of Payments resets to zero. A payment made pursuant to any reduced or negotiated payment arrangement does not count toward a Qualifying String of Payments.

Semi-monthly means twice a month.
