Visa® Platinum Rewards Line of Credit Agreement between Affinity Plus and You.
The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms and conditions of a Visa® Platinum Rewards CREDIT CARD line of credit between Affinity Plus and you. In this agreement, the word “you“ means each person who applies for
a Visa® Credit Card or who is authorized to use the credit card. “We“, “us“ or “our“ refers to Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union. The Word “card“ means your Visa® Credit Card and any duplicates of that card. The word “account“
means your Visa® Credit Card revolving credit account with Affinity Plus. Please read this agreement carefully because it tells you your rights and obligations for these transactions. You should keep this notice for future reference. 
You can use your Visa® line of credit to: 

● Make purchases from any vendor who accepts Visa®, including telephone and internet transactions. 
●   Take a cash advance against your line of credit at an ATM, financial institution, or other vendors (many hotels will give you an advance). 
●    Write convenience checks against your line which is treated as a cash advance (the interest begins accruing immediately). However, the cash advance fee noted below does not apply on convenience checks or balance transfers. 

1.

LINE OF CREDIT. Approval by Affinity Plus will establish the following: 
●   The credit limit approved. This credit limit will be drawn upon as you utilize the issued Visa® Credit Card. 
●   The line of credit will be repaid in accordance with terms and conditions set forth herein. 
●   This card remains the property of Affinity Plus and will be surrendered immediately upon request. This card is not transferable and the privileges may be revoked anytime without prior written notice. 

2. USING YOUR CARD.  You understand that use of your credit card will constitute acknowledgement of receipt and agreement to the terms and of the Line of Credit Agreement and Disclosure.  
3.

FINANCE CHARGE – CASH ADVANCE. The FINANCE CHARGE on cash advances is calculated as follows: A FINANCE CHARGE will be imposed on cash advances that you obtain through the use of your card during the current 
billing cycle from the date of each Cash Advance. The finance charge will continue to accrue until paid if paid during the same billing cycle as made, or if not paid in full during the same billing cycle as made, the FINANCE CHARGE 
will continue to accrue on the unpaid balance until closing date of the billing cycle preceding the date on which the entire new balance is paid in full. The method of computing the balance of cash advances subject to FINANCE 
CHARGE is the average daily outstanding unpaid balance, which is determined by dividing the sum of the daily balances during the billing cycle by the number of days in the cycle. Each daily balance of cash advances is 
determined by adding to the previous balance any new cash advances as of the transaction date, and subtracting each payment and credit on the date of receipt, but excluding any unpaid FINANCE CHARGES. 
FINANCE CHARGES – CREDIT PURCHASES. The FINANCE CHARGE on credit purchases is calculated as follows: A FINANCE CHARGE will be imposed on credit purchases of goods and services that you obtain through the use of
your card only if you elect not to pay the entire new balance shown on your previous monthly statement within 25 days from the closing date of the statement. If you elect not to pay the entire new balance shown on your previous
monthly statement within 25 days from the closing date of the statement, a FINANCE CHARGE will be imposed on the unpaid balance of credit purchases from the statement closing date and on credit purchases made during the 
current billing cycle from the transaction date of each such credit purchases to the account. FINANCE CHARGES will continue to accrue until the closing date of the billing cycle proceeding the date on which the entire new balance is 
paid in full. The method of computing the balance of credit purchases subject to FINANCE CHARGES is the average daily outstanding unpaid balance, which is determined by dividing the sum of the daily balances during the billing 
cycle by the number of days in the cycle. Each daily balance of credit purchases is determined by adding to the previous balance any new credit purchases if the previous balance was not paid in full within 25 days of the statement
closing date, and subtracting each payment and credit on the date of receipt, but excluding any unpaid FINANCE CHARGES. 

4.

5. PERIODIC RATE. The periodic rate used to compute the FINANCE CHARGE for purchases is 1.158% per month. The corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is 13.9% and will be based on your cumulative credit history. The periodic
rate used to compute the FINANCE CHARGE on balance transfers is .825% per month. The corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is 9.9%. The APR will never be greater than 18%. Your APR is determined by your credit score 
at the time of a new application and will be reviewed every six (6) months.  To determine your cumulative credit history, we use information from a consumer report provided by TransUnion, 2 Bladwin Place,P.O. Box 1000, Chester, 
PA  19022,  (800)  888-4213  or  www.AnnualCreditReport.com.    You  have  the  right  to  obtain  a  copy  of  your  Consumer  Report  from  the  consumer  agency  without  a  charge.    You  may  do  so  by  calling  the  toll-free  number  or

balance in full.  If you make extra or larger payments, you are still required to make at least the minimum payment each month your account has a balance (other than a credit balance).  The minimum payment is 3% of your total 
new balance, or $15.00, whichever is greater, or the entire balance if less than $15 plus the amount of any prior minimum payments that you have not made and any amounts you are over your credit limit.  We have the right to

2) Points earned on other credit cards and/or airline programs cannot be transferred to or combined with this program. Points on this program cannot be exchanged for cash or credit, may not be used with any other offer, 
promotion or discount, and cannot be earned from or transferred to any other charge or credit accounts. 
3) Points are non-transferrable and are forfeited in the event the account is closed. If the account is reopened, the forfeited points will not be reinstated. 
4) Only accounts that comply with the terms and conditions of this credit card agreement will be eligible to earn points. If your account is delinquent or over limit, you will not accrue points, and we will have the option to with
draw points previously earned. Points begin accruing again once the account is no longer over limit or delinquent.

credit card account may be charged for the difference in the event you have already redeemed those points which are deducted. Despite our best efforts to ensure accuracy, printing errors occasionally occur. We reserve the right 
to correct such errors at any time, even if it affects an existing order.

www.affinityplus.org
In your letter, give us the following information:
● Account information:  Your name and account number.
● Dollar amount:  The dollar amount of the suspected error.
● Description of problem:  If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.
You must contact us:
● Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.
● At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong.
You must notify us of any potential errors in writing [or electronically].  You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.
What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter.
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter.  We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.
2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
● We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
●

The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.

● While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
● We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
●

●

If we made a mistake:  You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees.  We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due.  We may then report 
you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe.

If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to use within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay.  If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning
your bill.  We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.

YOUR RIGHTS IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD PURCHASES
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchants, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the
purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50.  (Note:  Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on

an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)

2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase.  Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.
3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing [or electronically] at:
Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union 
175 West Lafayette Frontage Road
Saint Paul, MN 55107
www.affinityplus.org 

While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above.  After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision.  At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you
as delinquent.
