posted to your Credit Account in a foreign currency, including all Purchase 
transactions,  Cash  Advance  transactions,  ATM  transactions  and  returns 
and adjustments (e.g., for returned merchandise). The currency conversion 
rate used on the processing date may be different than the rate that was 
in  effect  on  the  date  you  conducted  the  transaction.  We  do  not  set  the 
currency conversion rate, and we do not receive any portion of it. We do, 
however, receive a foreign currency transaction fee as disclosed on your 
Account Opening Disclosures printed on the card carrier containing your 
card.
Prohibition on Gambling and Illegal Transactions: Your Card and Credit 
Account  may  not  be  used  in  connection  with  any  gambling  transaction 
(whether legal or illegal). Also, your Card and Credit Account may be used 
only for valid and lawful purposes. If you use, or allow someone else to use 
your Card or Credit Account for any unlawful purpose or for any gambling 
transaction, you will be responsible for such use and may be required to 
reimburse us for all amounts or expenses we pay as a result of such use.
Call Recording: You agree and consent that we will record and may monitor 
any calls between you and us. This includes both calls to and originated by 
First PREMIER Bank, PREMIER Bankcard, LLC, our parent corporation, or 
any of our affiliates, agents, independent contractors or service providers.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS
KEEP THIS DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE USE
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under 
the Fair Credit Billing Act.
What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement: If you think there 
is an error on your statement, write to us at:
     First PREMIER Bank
     P.O. Box 5524
     Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5524
(You may also contact us on the Web:  www.mypremiercreditcard.com.)
In your letter, give us the following information:
• Account information: Your name and Credit 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 three 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 us 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 
$50.00 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 merchant, 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  $50.00.    (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 
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:
     First PREMIER Bank
     P.O. Box 5524
     Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5524
     www.mypremiercreditcard.com 
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. 
Your Liability for Unauthorized Use of Your Credit Account: You will not 
be liable for unauthorized use of your Card or Credit Account. However, to 
protect your rights, you are required to notify us orally or in writing as soon 
as you are aware that your Card or Credit Account has been lost, stolen 
or used without your consent. Certain exceptions apply. To notify us of the 
loss, theft or possible unauthorized use of your Card, call us at 1-800-987-
5521, 24 hours a day. 

STATE DISCLOSURES

Account. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit 
reporting reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a Consumer 
Reporting Agency  if  you  fail  to  fulfill  the  terms  of  your  credit  obligations. 
After credit approval, each applicant shall have the right to use the Credit 
Account up to the limit of the Credit Account. Each applicant may be liable

or court order, or has actual knowledge of that provision.
Washington  Residents:  A  service  charge  will  be  computed  on  the 
outstanding balance for each month. You may at any time pay your total 
unpaid balance.

ARBITRATION AND LITIGATION
This Arbitration Provision (“Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient 
resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and us. Arbitration is 
a form of private dispute-resolution in which persons with a dispute waive 
their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead 
submit their disputes to a neutral third person (an arbitrator) for a binding 
decision. You have the right to opt out of this Provision, which means you 
would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a 
judge or jury. To exercise your right to opt out you must provide us with 
written notice no later than 30 days after your Credit Account is first opened. 
If we do not receive your written notice within that time frame, your rights 
to opt out will terminate, and you agree that the provisions of this section 
will apply.
PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT PROVIDES THAT ALL 
DISPUTES ARISING  OUT  OF  OR  CONNECTED  TO  THIS  CONTRACT 
SHALL  BE  RESOLVED  BY  BINDING  ARBITRATION.  ARBITRATION 
REPLACES  THE  RIGHT  TO  GO  TO  COURT.  IN  THE  ABSENCE  OF 
THIS  ARBITRATION  AGREEMENT,  YOU  AND  WE  MAY  OTHERWISE 
HAVE  HAD  A  RIGHT  OR  OPPORTUNITY  TO  BRING  CLAIMS  IN  A 
COURT,  BEFORE  A  JUDGE  OR  JURY  AND/OR  TO  PARTICIPATE  IN 
OR  BE  REPRESENTED  IN  A  CASE  FILED  IN  COURT  BY  OTHERS 
(INCLUDING,  BUT  NOT  LIMITED  TO,  CLASS  ACTIONS).  EXCEPT 
AS  OTHERWISE  PROVIDED,  ENTERING  INTO  THIS  AGREEMENT 
CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS AND 
ALL OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY.
Parties  and  Matters  Subject  to  Arbitration:  For  purposes  of  this 
Provision,  “you”  and  “us”  include  the  employees,  parents,  subsidiaries, 
affiliates, beneficiaries, agents and assigns of you and us. For purposes 
of this Provision, “Claim” means any claim, dispute or controversy by either 
you or us, arising out of or relating in any way to this Contract, this Provision 
(including claims regarding the applicability, enforceability or validity of this 
Provision), your Credit Account, any transaction on your Credit Account and 
our  relationship.  “Claim”  also  refers  to  any  interaction  or  communication 
between  you  and  us  that  occurred  prior  to  or  concurrent  with  entering 
into this Contract, including those now in existence, regardless of present 
knowledge. “Claim” shall refer to claims of every kind and nature, including, 
but not limited to, initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third party 
claims. All Claims are subject to arbitration, regardless of legal theory and 
remedy sought, including, but not limited to, claims based in contract, tort 
(including negligence, intentional tort, fraud and fraud in the inducement), 
agency, statutory law (federal and state), administrative regulations or any 
other source of law (including equity).
Agreement to Arbitrate: Any Claim arising out of or relating to this Contract, 
or the breach of this Contract or your Credit Account, shall be resolved and 
settled exclusively and finally by binding arbitration, in accordance with this 
Provision. Binding arbitration shall not be required, however, for collection 
actions by us relating to your Credit Account. Furthermore, both you and 
we retain the right to pursue in a small claims court any Claim that is within 

that court’s jurisdiction, provided the Claim proceeds on an individual basis. 
However, only a court of law, not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity 
and effect of this Provision’s prohibition of class arbitration. For any Claims 
covered by this Provision, a party who asserted a Claim in a lawsuit in court 
may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim subsequently asserted in 
that lawsuit by any other party.
Voluntary  Waiver  of  the  Right  to  a  Jury  Trial  and  Class  Action 
Participation: As a result of this Provision, neither you nor we have the 
right to litigate any Claim in court or the right to a jury trial on any Claim, 
except as provided above. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY 
AND KNOWINGLY WAIVING ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO GO TO 
COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. FURTHERMORE, NEITHER YOU 
NOR WE MAY SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL,  OR 
IN  ANY  OTHER  REPRESENTATIVE  CAPACITY. 
SIMILARLY, NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER 
OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS IN A LAWSUIT OF ANY CLAIM.
Prohibition of Class Arbitration: All Claims shall be resolved by binding 
arbitration  on  an  individual  basis.  Claims  made  and  remedies  sought  as 
part of a class action, private attorney general or other representative action 
are subject to arbitration on an individual (non-class, non-representative) 
basis.  Therefore,  the  arbitrator  has  no  authority  to  conduct  class-wide 
proceedings and will be restricted to resolving individual Claims. UNDER 
THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY 
FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS BASIS. Arbitration 
will only be conducted on an individual Claim basis and there is no right or 
authority to consolidate or join any of your Claims with any other Claims. 
YOU  AGREE  THAT  YOU  ARE  VOLUNTARILY  AND  KNOWINGLY 
WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR 
MEMBER  OF  ANY  CLASS  OF  CLAIMANTS  PERTAINING  TO  ANY 
CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS PROVISION.
Governing  Law:  This  agreement  to  arbitrate  is  made  pursuant  to  a 
transaction  involving  interstate  commerce  and  shall  be  governed  by  the 
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as it may be amended. If for any 
reason the Federal Arbitration Act does not apply, the substantive law of the 
State of South Dakota shall govern this Provision.
Arbitration Location and Procedure: Any arbitration hearing at which you 
wish to appear will take place at a location within the federal judicial district 
that includes your billing address at the time the Claim is filed. The party 
bringing the Claim may file its Claim at the American Arbitration Association 
(“AAA”), or an arbitration organization mutually agreed upon by the parties. 
The arbitration organization that is selected will administer the arbitration 
pursuant  to  its  procedures  in  effect  at  the  time  of  filing,  subject  to  this 
Provision. If you do not agree to file your claim with AAA, and the parties 
cannot agree on an alternative arbitration organization, an arbitrator will be 
appointed by a court pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event of 
a conflict or inconsistency between the respective organization’s rules and 
this Provision, this Provision shall govern. The arbitration will be conducted 
before  a  single  arbitrator,  whose  authority  is  limited  solely  to  individual 
Claims between you and us. The arbitration will not be consolidated with 
any other arbitration proceeding. Any decision rendered in such arbitration 
proceeding will be final and binding on the parties and judgment may be 
entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. The rules and forms of AAA 
may be obtained as follows: American Arbitration Association, (1-800-778-
7879),  335  Madison Avenue,  Floor  10,  New York,  NY  10017,  website  at 
www.adr.org.
Arbitrator’s  Authority:  The  arbitrator  shall  apply 
the  applicable 
substantive  law,  consistent  with  the  Federal  Arbitration  Act;  shall  apply 
statutes  of  limitation;  and  shall  honor  claims  of  privilege  recognized  at 
law. In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall not apply 
any federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence. PURSUANT TO 
THIS ARBITRATION  PROVISION,  THERE  IS  NO  RIGHT  TO  ENGAGE 
IN  PREARBITRATION  DISCOVERY  EXCEPT  AS  PROVIDED  FOR  IN 
THE  RULES  AND  PROCEDURES  OF  THE  RESPECTIVE  CHOSEN 
NATIONAL  ARBITRAL  ORGANIZATION.  Either  party  may,  however, 

request  to  expand  the  scope  of  discovery.  If  a  request  is  made,  within 
15  days  of  the  requesting  party’s  notice,  the  objecting  party  may  submit 
objections  to  the  arbitrator  with  a  copy  of  the  objections  provided  to  the 
party requesting expansion. The grant or denial of a party’s request will be 
in the sole discretion of the arbitrator, who shall notify the parties of the final 
decision within 20 days of the objecting party’s submission.
The  Arbitrator’s  Award:  The  arbitrator  has  the  ability  to  award  to  the 
prevailing  party  all  remedies  available  at  common  law,  by  statute  or 
in  equity,  including  injunctive  relief,  declaratory  relief,  arbitration  costs 
and  attorney  fees.  The  arbitrator  shall  not,  however,  have  authority  to 
award  any  punitive  damages.  YOU  AND  WE  AGREE  THAT  PUNITIVE 
DAMAGES  ARE  NOT  RECOVERABLE  IN  ANY  ARBITRATION  OR 
OTHER  PROCEEDING  UNDER  THIS  CONTRACT  EXCEPT  TO  THE 
EXTENT PUNITIVE DAMAGES WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LITIGATION. 
For  awards  not  in  excess  of  $5,000.00,  upon  the  timely  request  of  any 
party,  the  arbitrator  shall  provide  a  brief  written  explanation  of  the  basis 
for the award. In the event an award exceeds $5,000.00, or in which there 
is  a  request  for  equitable  relief  with  a  potential  financial  impact  or  value 
in excess of $5,000.00, the award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and 
shall specify the facts and the law on which it is based. In such case, the 
arbitrator’s findings of fact must be supported by substantial evidence and 
the arbitrator’s conclusions of law must not be based on legal error or be 
erroneous under the applicable substantive law. Further, in addition to the 
Federal Arbitration Act’s grounds for vacation, modification or correction of 
the arbitrator’s award, the parties shall have the right to judicial review of the 
arbitrator’s award to determine whether the arbitrator’s findings of fact are 
supported by substantial evidence and whether the arbitrator’s conclusions 
of  law  are  based  on  legal  error  or  are  erroneous  under  the  applicable 
substantive law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may 
be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. However, if the award is 
in excess of $5,000.00, judgment may be entered only upon determination 
by the court that the award is supported by substantial evidence and is not 
erroneous or based on legal error.
Expenses:  Regardless  of  who  demands  arbitration,  we  will  pay  all 
expenses  of  arbitration,  including  the  filing,  administrative,  hearing  and 
arbitrator’s fees (“Arbitration Fees”), to the extent that the Arbitration Fees 
exceed  the  amounts  you  would  be  required  to  pay  for  filing  a  lawsuit  in 
a court. Throughout the arbitration, each party shall bear his or her own 
attorney fees and expenses, such as witness and expert witness fees. If 
you prevail in the arbitration of any Claim against us, we will reimburse you 
for any fees you paid to the arbitration organization in connection with the 
arbitration.
Binding Effect and Survival: You and we agree that, except as specifically 
provided for above, the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on all 
parties subject to this Provision. This Provision is binding upon you, us, and 
the heirs, successors, assigns and related third parties of you and us. This 
Provision shall survive termination of your account, whether it be through 
voluntary payment of the debt in full by you, a legal proceeding initiated 
by us to collect a debt that you owe, a bankruptcy by you or a sale of your 
Credit Account by us.
Severability:  If  any  portion  of  this  Provision  is  deemed  invalid  or 
unenforceable  under  any  law  or  statute  consistent  with  the  FAA,  such 
a  finding  shall  not  invalidate  any  remaining  portion  of  this  Provision,  the 
Contract  or  any  other  agreement  entered  into  by  you  with  us.  However, 
the  prohibition  on  class  arbitration  is  not  severable  from  the  remainder 
of this Provision. In the event that a court deems the prohibition on class 
arbitration to be invalid and unenforceable, any subsequent class action or 
representative proceeding shall be in a court of law and will not be subject 
to binding arbitration.

for payment of all Purchases, Cash Advances, INTEREST CHARGES and 
fees  incurred  or  obtained  by  the  Authorized  User.  We  may  close  your 
existing Credit Account and issue you a new Card and account number. You 
and each Authorized User agree that we may report account information to 
Consumer Reporting Agencies in the names of both you and the Authorized 
User.
Lost or Stolen Cards: To protect your rights, you must notify us immediately 
at  1-800-987-5521  if  your  Card  is  lost  or  stolen  or  if  you  suspect  that  it 
has  been  used  or  may  be  used  without  your  permission.  If  your  Card  is 
reported  as  lost  or  stolen  or  you  are  claiming  unauthorized  use  of  your 
Credit Account or Card, we may require you to file one or more reports with 
the appropriate law enforcement agencies and us prior to our removal of 
possible unauthorized charges made against your Credit Account. You will 

not be liable for unauthorized use of your Card. Certain exceptions apply.
Refusal to Accept Your Card: We are not responsible if any person or 
merchant does not accept your Card, or if an ATM or other device fails to 
properly operate. All transactions, even when you get a receipt, are subject 
to our final verification.
Cards Are Our Property: You agree to return each Card issued on your 
Credit Account to us upon our demand.

USING YOUR CREDIT ACCOUNT
Your  Promise  To  Pay:  You  agree  to  pay  us  for  all  charges,  Cash 
Advances, INTEREST CHARGES, Purchases and fees incurred on your 
Credit Account  by  you,  or  by  any Authorized  User,  as  well  as  any  other 
fees imposed by us, as explained in this Contract. If more than one person 
requests  or  accepts  the  Credit  Account,  each  and  every  person 
individually and jointly are responsible for payment until the account is paid 
in full.
Joint Account Holders: If this is a joint Credit Account, each person who 
signed the application: (1) may obtain Purchases and Cash Advances not 
to exceed the total credit limit; (2) will be responsible for paying all amounts 
owed; and (3) can close the Credit Account.
Accessing  Your  Credit  Line:  You  can  use  the  Card  and  your  Credit 
Account  to  make  Purchases  and  obtain  Cash  Advances.  Upon  your 
request, you may be assigned a Personal Identification Number (PIN). If a 
PIN is assigned to you, you can obtain a Cash Advance at any authorized 
ATM by using the Card and PIN.
Understanding  Your  Credit  Limit:  Your  “Credit  Limit”  is  the  maximum 
amount of credit we have approved for your Credit Account. The amount 
of your Credit Limit is printed on the card carrier containing your Card and 
on your Statements. Your balance may not exceed your Credit Limit at any 
time. At our sole discretion, we may honor Purchases or Cash Advances in 
excess of your Credit Limit without raising your Credit Limit. If we do, we 
may require you to pay us any amount over your Credit Limit immediately. 
Decisions  on  Credit  Limit  increases  may  be  based  on  your  performance 
under this Credit Account and other Related Credit Accounts you have with 
us and other credit criteria. If we have previously allowed your balance to 
exceed your Credit Limit, it does not mean that we will permit your balance 
to exceed your Credit Limit again. We reserve the right to approve or deny 
authorizations or transactions from any merchant at our sole discretion. 
Obtaining Cash Advances: You may take Cash Advances on your Credit 
Account in any of the following ways: By presenting the Card to us or any 
other  participating  MasterCard®  or  Visa®  financial i nstitution t o obtain 
cash, by using the Card at an authorized merchant, other non-bank entity, 
or an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) or other device to obtain cash or 
cash  equivalent,  or  to  make  a  transfer  from  your  Credit Account  to  any 
other deposit or loan account. Even if you use your Credit Account to obtain 
cash from a non-bank entity, the transaction will be described as a Bank 
Cash Advance.
You  may  not  take  Cash  Advances  in  excess  of  $500.00  per  day.  The 
minimum  Cash Advance  per  transaction  is  $20.00.  For  Credit Accounts 
opened  on  or  after  June  1,  2003,  your  initial  Cash Advance  limit  will  be 
10%  of  your  assigned  Credit  Limit.  Once  your  Credit Account  has  been 
open and active for a minimum of 90 days, has two consecutive months of 
current payment history, is not currently delinquent and no payments have 
been returned for the past 60 days, your Cash Advance availability may be 
increased to 50% of the assigned Credit Limit. For example, if your Credit 
Limit is $250.00, your beginning Cash Advance limit will be $25.00 and may 
increase to $125.00 once the criteria above are met.

those Statements and communications as directed by you.
When You Receive Your Statements: We will send you a Statement at 
the end of each monthly Billing Cycle in which your Credit Account has a 
debit or credit balance of more than $1.00, if an INTEREST CHARGE has 
been imposed or if other account activity has occurred. Your Statements will 
arrive around the same time each month, however we reserve the right to 
change the date of your Billing Cycle at any time.
Understanding  Your  Statement:  The  Statements  we  send  to  you  will 
reflect the activity and our INTEREST CHARGES and other charges, costs 
and  fees  on  your  Credit Account  during  the  Billing  Cycle.  They  will  also 
show your Total Minimum Amount Due and Payment Due Date, which is 
the date by which we must receive payment. The information contained on 
the Statement will be deemed to be correct unless you advise us in writing 
of any error within 60 days of the date on which we send your Statement. If 
there are more than one of you living at different addresses, we will send the 
Statements only to the person named as the “Applicant” in your application.

protocol service, or other electronic, digital or analog service that is placed 
through or utilizes an automatic telephone dialing system, artificial voice or 
pre-recorded message, or any other technology, even if you incur a cost 
when we contact you.  You accept responsibility for all costs you incur when 
contacted through any of these means.
Indemnification:  You  agree  to  indemnify  us  for  all  damages,  costs  and 
expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, we incur when we attempt 
to contact you at any third party’s telephone number that you provide to us,

ABOUT YOUR PAYMENTS
Amount of Payment: You must make Minimum Payments on your Credit 
Account. Refer to the Minimum Payment provisions in the Account Opening 
Disclosures  printed  on  the  card  carrier  containing  your  Card  for  more 
detailed information. Payments made in any Billing Cycle that are greater 
than the Total Minimum Amount Due will not affect your obligation to make 
the next monthly Minimum Payment. Each month your Statement shows 
a New Balance you must pay the Total Minimum Amount Due. Generally, 
credits to your Credit Account, such as those generated by merchants, are 
not treated as payments on your Credit Account and will not reduce your 
Total Minimum Amount Due. You have until the Payment Due Date shown 
on  the  front  of  your  Statement,  which  is  not  less  than  27  days  from  the 
Closing Date, to pay the Total Minimum Amount Due.

Applying  Your  Payments:  We  may  apply  your  payment  to  whichever 
balances we choose to the extent it does not exceed the Total Minimum 
Amount  Due  shown  on  your  Statement.    The  amount  of  your  payment 
in  excess  of  the Total  Minimum Amount  Due  will  be  applied  to  balances 
subject to the highest APR prior to balances subject to lower APRs.  We 
may apply your payment to principal amounts, INTEREST CHARGES, fees 
and other charges in any order we choose, and we may change the order of 
application of payments from time to time at our discretion.
Availability  of  Credit:  Available  credit  created  as  a  result  of  payments 
posted to your Credit Account may not be available for up to 20 days, or even 
longer if circumstances warrant an additional hold, or if we deem ourselves 
at risk for any reason. Your available credit may be limited, from time to 
time, if you provide your Credit Account number or Card to a merchant that 
processes advance authorizations, such as hotels, motels and car rental. 
Such an authorization may limit your ability to make Purchases and take 
Cash Advances on your Credit Account until the authorization is canceled 
by the merchant and your available credit is released.
Electronic  Check  Presentment:  When  you  send  us  a  personal  check, 
you authorize us to either use information from your check to make a one-
time electronic transfer from your account, or to process the payment as a 
check transaction. If your check is processed electronically, your canceled 
check will not be returned to you by your financial institution. We will retain 
an image of your electronically processed check(s) as required by law. If 
requested prior to the time we are allowed by law to destroy electronically 
processed checks, we will provide you with a copy of your electronically 
processed  check(s)  upon  your  request.  Funds  may  be  withdrawn  from 
your  bank  account  as  soon  as  the  day  your  payment  is  received.  We 
agree to accept your checking account statement as proof of payment. The 
description on your checking account statement will read: PREMIER CR 
CARD CHECK-PAYMT, serial number of the check, amount of the payment 
and date of the transaction. If you choose to opt out of electronic check 
presentment, please call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-987-
5521.
Late  Payments:  We  may  accept  late  payments,  partial  payments  or 
checks or other payment instruments marked to impose terms or conditions 
of acceptance such as “paid in full” without waiving any of our rights under 
this Contract, and no attempt by you to impose any term or condition of 
acceptance  will  be  effective  against  us.    Satisfaction  of  a  debt  for  less 
than the full amount due or imposition of any other term or condition on us 
requires a written agreement, signed by an authorized Bank representative.

foreign  currency,  it  will  be  converted  into  U.S.  dollars,  and  you  agree  to 
accept the converted amount. Visa USA, Inc. or MasterCard International, 
Inc. will use its currency conversion procedures in effect when processing 
the transaction. The currency conversion rate will be a rate selected by Visa 
or MasterCard, as applicable, from the range of rates available in wholesale 
currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may 
vary from the rate Visa or MasterCard itself receives, or the government-
mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date, in each
