How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called “average daily balance” (including new purchases). 

Loss  of  Introductory  APR:    We  may  end  your  introductory  APR  and  apply  the  Penalty  APR  if  you  make  a  late 
payment. 

Balance  Transfers:  Only  balances  transferred  from  an  existing  credit  card  account  to  your  TwinStar  credit  card 
account will qualify as a Balance Transfer. Balances from other types of loans may not be applied to your TwinStar 
credit card account as a Balance Transfer and the Cash Advance APR will apply to such transfers.
