How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called “average 
daily balance (including new purchases).”  

Payment Allocation: Payments are allocated to posted balances. If your account 
has balances with different APRs, we will allocate the amount of your payment 
equal  to  the  Total  Minimum  Payment  Due  to  the  lowest  APR  balances  first. 
Payment amounts in excess of your Total Minimum Payment Due will be applied 
to balances with higher APRs before balances with lower APRs.  

More Information about Penalty Fees and Penalty APR  

Penalty Fees: If your Total Minimum Payment Due is not received within 5 days of 
your Payment Due Date, a Late Payment Fee will be assessed. However, the Late 
Payment Fee will not exceed the total minimum payment that was due.  

Prime Rate: Variable APRs are based on the 4% Prime Rate as of 3/17/2017.  
1 We add 16.74% to the Prime Rate to determine the Purchase/Balance Transfer 
APR.  
2 We add 21.74% to the Prime Rate to determine the Cash Advance APR.
