the Penalty Rate will remain in effect until the account becomes current and 6

Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. You will not be 
charged interest from the time you purchased goods or services, if you pay your full

balance, while in the Grace Period, you will not pay interest on the amount paid for that 
cycle. On subsequent cycles you will not have a Grace Period until you pay your full 
account balance on time for two cycles in a row. Amounts related to certain offers will not 
be taken into consideration in determining the Grace Period. Please refer to the offer 
terms and conditions.  The No Grace Period Transactions begin to accrue interest on the

or other credit device linked to your Account (including a mobile device, 
subject to the terms and conditions of that service).  Each Transaction Type 
will have its own balance and may have a separate Interest Charge. 

When you use the Card to 
buy goods and services 
from merchants that accept 
the Card. 

The merchant will receive our authorization or denial to charge your Account 
in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. We may deny any Purchase 
transaction authorization request from a merchant at our sole discretion for 
security and other reasons, even if there is sufficient available credit. We are 
not responsible for any losses associated with a declined transaction.

history.

on your Account at any 
time taking into

Promotions or 
Introductory Offers 

Special offers related to 
your Account. 

We permit Balance Transfers from most accounts issued by other banks but 
not from other accounts or loans with us or any of our affiliates. We will 
charge a Balance Transfer fee based on the amount of each Balance 
Transfer, as set forth in the Account-Opening Disclosures. 

The following transactions will be treated as Cash Advances: all advances to 
obtain cash over the counter, through an ATM, and other “cash-like” 
transactions, such as purchasing foreign currency, a money order, traveler’s 
check, casino betting chip, or a lottery ticket. We will charge a Cash 
Advance fee based on the amount of each Cash Advance, as set forth in the 
Account-Opening Disclosures. 

The Convenience Check is subject to the Purchase APR. We have the right 
not to pay a Convenience Check for any reason. You may not use a 
Convenience Check to make a payment on the Account or any other account 
with us. We will charge a Convenience Check Fee based on the amount of 
each Convenience Check advance, as set forth in the Account-Opening 
Disclosures. 

We are not responsible for recurring transactions if your Account is closed or 
suspended, or if the Account number or expiration date changes. You must 
contact the third party to notify them of the changes of your account. 

Your Credit Limit is based on your credit worthiness and/or your payment 
history.  We will advise you of the total credit limit on your Account when we 
first send you your Card and thereafter, in each billing statement. We may 
establish a lower limit for Cash Advances. If no separate Cash Advance limit 
is listed on our billing statement, then the Credit Limit for Cash Advances is 
the amount of your total Credit Limit. Your Credit Limit and Cash Advance 
limit may change from time to time taking into consideration your credit 
worthiness and/or payment history.  We may cancel, change, or rescind your 
credit availability at any time. We will notify you of any such changes through 
your billing statement or by sending you a separate notice, which may be 
after the change occurs.   

We may approve at our sole discretion a Transaction that causes your 
Account balance to exceed the Credit Limit. In such case, we will add the 
excess to your Minimum Payment. This will not be considered an increase in 
your Credit Limit nor do we waive any of our rights by doing so. 

A Secured Card Account is a Card in which your Credit Limit is based on the 
amount we request you deposit in a Collateral Account. We will establish the 
maximum amount that can be deposited in the Collateral Account. Your Credit 
Limit will appear on each billing statement. You may from time to time request 
an increase in the Credit Limit and if approved, would lead you to increase the 
amount deposited in the Collateral Account. The Purchases and Cash 
Advances may not exceed the amount deposited in the Collateral Account. 
Any amount owed in excess of authorized Credit Limit, is payable immediately 
and the excess is added to the Minimum Payment. However, if you exceed 
the Credit Limit, the Bank is entitled to close the account and to collect the 
balance due on your Account against the amount deposited in the Collateral 
Account. The Bank may approve Purchases or Cash Advances which cause 
the balance to exceed the Credit Limit without thereby waive any of its rights 
under this Agreement. 

Introductory APRs and special fees are described in the Account-Opening 
Disclosures. Any special offer is subject to this Agreement, unless specified 
otherwise.

separately, if applicable.

place outside the United 
States. They will be billed 
to you in U.S. Dollars. 

The applicable card association (such as Visa and MasterCard) will convert 
to U.S. dollars transactions made in a foreign currency using a government-
mandated or wholesale rate in effect on the processing date (which may 
differ from the rate on the date of your transaction). The rate used may differ 
from the rate that the card association actually receives.  A fee will be 

 
 
assessed on the U.S. Dollar amount of the transaction. See “Fees” section

TERMS WE USE 

WHAT IT MEANS 

HOW IT AFFECTS YOU 

Payment Instructions 

The instructions on your 
billing statement for making 
payments to your Account. 

Payment Due Date 

Minimum Payment 

The date by which we must 
receive the Minimum 
Payment in order for it to 
be on time.   

The minimum amount you 
must pay each billing cycle, 
as shown on your billing 
statement. 

Skip A Payment Offer 

We may offer you, at our 
option, to skip a Minimum 
Payment for certain billing 
cycles.   

You must follow the payment instructions provided on your billing statement. 
All payments made by check must be drawn on a U.S. financial institution in 
U.S. Dollars made to the order of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico. Any such 
payment must be sent to the special address identified on your billing 
statement accompanied with the payment stub.  You authorize us to either 
use information from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer 
from your account or to process the payment as a check transaction. 
Electronic and mailed payments are credited on the same day of receipt if 
they are received by 5:00 p.m. AST Monday through Friday (excluding 
holidays). Telephone payments are credited on the same day of receipt if they 
are received by 5:00 p. m. EST Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). 
We may take up to 5 days to process any credit of other payments that do not 
meet these requirements, during which interest will not accrue. We may 
accept and process late, partial and payments marked as "paid in full" without 
losing our rights under this Agreement.  
If your payment is reversed due to insufficient funds or a returned check, we 
will apply a credit line availability hold condition to your Account and you may 
lose any special APR offers.  The result of this hold is that the credit line 
availability resulting from a payment to your Account will be delayed for 10 
calendar days after the payment is processed.  The hold condition will be 
canceled after 6 billing cycles where no other payment reversal event takes 
place.   

Your monthly billing statement will list the Payment Due Date. It will usually 
be the same day of each month, at least 25 days after closing of the billing 
cycle shown on the billing statement. 

You agree to pay at least the Minimum Payment when due. For Account 
balances between $0.01 up to $26.99, the Minimum Payment will be the 
outstanding balance. For balances of $27 and over, the minimum monthly 
payment will be 2% of the outstanding balance or the Interest Charge + $10 
or a fixed amount of $27, whichever is higher. The Minimum Payment will 
include any past due amounts, any Installment Plan minimum payment and 
the total of any amount charged in excess of your credit limit.  

If you receive this offer, your billing statement may reflect a required Minimum 
Payment of $0, and you may not have to make the Minimum Payment for that 
billing cycle. If you decide to skip a payment, we will continue to accrue 
Interest Charges on the unpaid balance of your Account during that period.  
However, you can always make a payment for any amount.  At the end of the 
skip a payment period, the terms of the Agreement regarding the required 
Minimum Payment will automatically resume.   

Paying Interests 

Grace Period on 
Purchases 

The period of time during 
which you are not charged 
interest on Purchases if 
you pay the full account 
balance on time.  

You will not be charged interest from the time you purchased goods or 
services, if you pay your full account balance by the Payment Due Date. In the 
event you don’t pay the full account balance, while in the Grace Period, you 
will not pay interest on the amount paid for that cycle. On subsequent cycles 
you will not have a Grace Period until you pay your full account balance on 
time for two cycles in a row. Amounts related to certain offers will not be taken

into consideration in determining the Grace Period. Please refer to the offer 
terms and conditions.  

The No Grace Period Transactions begin to accrue interest on the date they 
are posted and remain subject to Interest Charges until paid in full.  

We will apply your Minimum Payment in the following order: to Installment 
Plan minimum payment, if applicable; then to Interest Charges, then to Fees 
and the remaining amount is applied first to the debt resulting from Purchases 
and Cash Advances with the lowest APR and then to the debt with the higher 
APR in ascending order. Consequently, the debt with the higher APR will not 
be reduced, until the debt with the lower APR is paid in full. If you pay an 
amount in excess of the Minimum Payment, the excess will be applied to 
balances with the highest APRs first.   

We may reject and return to you any payment that creates a credit balance on 
your Account.  If we allow any credit balance in your Account due to any 
inadvertent overpayment, you may request a refund of credit balances at any 
time. We will not pay interest on any credit balance in your Account.  If no 
refund is requested, we will apply credit balances to new transactions, unless 
prohibited by law.  If you do not make new transactions within 180 days, we 
will send you a refund. 

WHAT ARE THE CHARGES AND HOW ARE THEY CALCULATED? 

TERMS WE USE 

WHAT IT MEANS 

HOW WE CALCULATE IT 

Daily Balance 

The balance on each 
transaction type and APR 
each day. 

We calculate the Daily Balance by taking the beginning balance for each type 
of transaction and APR each day, adding any new transactions, and then 
subtracting any payments and/or credits and other adjustments. We treat any 
daily balance that is a credit balance as a zero balance. 

Average Daily 
Balance 

The average balance each 
day during the billing cycle. 

Annual Percentage 
Rate (APR) 

An annualized interest rate.  
Different APRs apply to the 
different transaction types, 
as shown on the Account- 
Opening Disclosures.  

Daily Periodic Rate 
(DPR) 

A daily interest rate we 
calculate. 

Interest Charges  

The amount we charge you 
for your credit on each 
transaction type. 

We calculate the Average Daily Balance by adding all of the Daily Balances 
for each day in the billing period and then dividing by the total number of days 
in the billing period. 

Your APRs are variable. They increase or decrease with the Prime Rate. The 
APR will be determined by adding the Prime Rate (as published by The Wall 
Street Journal) to a margin. For unsecured Accounts if you reside in Puerto 
Rico or the US Virgin Islands, the margin applicable to your Transaction types 
will depend on your credit worthiness at the time of approval of your 
application and will be set at the time of approval of your application. For 
Wealth Management customers, secured accounts, Popular Inc. or any of its 
subsidiaries’ employees and for residents of the British Virgin Islands, the 
APR applicable to your Transaction types will be determined by adding the 
Prime Rate at the time of approval of your application to a margin. For each 
billing cycle, the Interest Charge and the APR will be based on the Prime Rate 
three business days prior to your billing statement closing date. If The Wall 
Street Journal is not published, we will select a similar rate. We may change 
the margins from time to time for new transactions with notice to you. 
We calculate interest using the daily periodic rate. The DPR for a given 
balance is equal to the APR for that balance divided by 365 and rounded up 
as permitted by law.   

We add the Interest Charges to the Account by adding the Interest Charges to 
each transaction type balance and APR to which it applies. (For example, we 
add Interest Charges on Purchases to the Purchases balance.) We calculate 
the Interest Charge by applying the DPR for each transaction type and APR to 
the Average Daily Balance for that transaction type. We multiply the result by 
the number of days in the billing cycle. That gives us the total Interest Charges 
for that transaction type for that billing period.  

Cash Advance, Balance Transfer, and Convenience Check fees are added to 
their corresponding balances, as applicable, and all other fees are added to 
the Purchases balance. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
WHAT IF YOU PAY LATE? 

If you pay the Minimum Payment amount by the Payment Due Date, you will not pay penalties. You should pay on time.

WHAT WE WILL CHARGE YOU 

Late Payment Fee 

The fee we charge each 
time your payment is late.

APR 

A higher Interest Charge

If you pay late, or you pay less than the Minimum Payment, we may charge 
you a late payment fee in the amount set forth on the Account Opening 
Disclosures. In no event will your late payment fee exceed the amount of 
your Minimum Payment due. 

If we do not receive any Minimum Payment within 60 days of the Payment 
Due Date, the Penalty APR will apply to all outstanding balances, as well as to 
future transactions. The Penalty APR will stop being applied to transactions 
that occurred prior to or within 14 days after we provided notice about the 
increase to the Penalty APR if we receive six consecutive Minimum Payments 
on the Payment Due Date beginning immediately after the increase to the 
Penalty APR. 

Returned Payment 
Fee 

A fee charged when your 
payment is returned for 
insufficient funds. 

We may charge a returned payment fee in the amount set forth on the 
Account Opening Disclosures.  

WHAT OTHER FEES MAY APPLY? 

There may be times when circumstances result in a fee or other action being assessed on the Account. The Account Opening Disclosures 
list the amounts of these fees. All such fees will be added to the Purchase balance, unless otherwise indicated. Additional fees for special 
services you request may apply. You will be advised of the amount of such fees at the time of your request.  

FEE 

Annual Fee 

WHAT IT MEANS 

WHAT WE WILL CHARGE YOU

basis.

annual $25 fee is applied at the moment of subscription and subsequently 
once a year from the subscription date to any of the Program participating 
accounts. The Membership will be cancelled if any of the Program 
participating accounts has insufficient funds to cover the fee. Fee is non-
refundable. You will earn points only for the activities and transactions 
described on the Program’s website as well as additional promotions sent out 
periodically by Popular. Points will be credited and debited depending on the 
type of transaction carried out. Popular will determine from time to time the 
maximum amount of Points that may be accumulated for different 
transactions. This information is available on the Program's webpage. Popular 
reserves the right to review the balance of Membership accumulated Points 
and to subtract any credited Points that infringe this Agreement. Each account 
can be registered only to one (1) Program Membership. Under no 
circumstance, one same account or transaction is allowed to accumulate 
Points simultaneously for more than one (1) Membership. 

Limitations: Cash Advance Transactions done with credit Cards, foreign or 
local currency purchases, casino chips or any other cash equivalent 
instrument purchase and loan payments, including but not limited to mortgage 

 
 
 
and auto loan payments will not accumulate Points. The Regular Level Points 
will expire in December every four (4) years from the date of subscription. The 
PREMIA® Platinum level Points will not expire as long as they remain at this 
level. If the Customer is no longer at that level, the Regular level expiration 
terms will apply as well as the Regular Level Membership fee. Any derogatory 
condition or account mismanagement, including but not limited to blocked, 
outstanding and overdraft accounts will result in automatic Membership 
suspension and elimination of accumulated Points without previous notice. 
Once the derogatory condition is removed, the amount of Points accrued at 
the moment of Membership suspension may be restored at Popular’s sole 
discretion. To view Your Point balance, please visit popular.com. Individual 
consumer transactions are the only transactions entitled to Point accrual. 
Redemption: The Customer that figures as the primary account holder can 
redeem his/her accrued Points for rewards at any time, as long as he/she has 
the required Points for the desired reward. Program Membership must be 
active and the Customer may not have an account showing derogatory 
condition to be able to redeem the Points. The redeemed Points will 
immediately be deducted from the Points balance. For more information on 
the program visit www.premia.com or call PREMIA® Customer Service Center 
at 1.800.3PREMIA (1.800.377.3642).

perform a transaction using the Wallet. We are only responsible for supplying information securely to the Wallet 
provider to allow usage of your Card in the Wallet.  We reserve the right to define product eligibility. You agree 
that any such use of your Account will be subject to all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.  
Your applicable Purchase APR will apply to Purchases made using the Mobile Wallet Service.  You acknowledge 
that certain message and data rates may apply from your wireless service providers and/or wireless carriers 
which might impact your use of the Wallet. For example, your mobile service carrier or provider may impose data 
usage or text charges for your use of or interaction with the Wallet, including downloading the software, receiving 
or sending text messages, or other use of your mobile device when using the software or other products and 
services provided by the Wallet. You expressly agree that you are responsible for all such fees, limitations, and 
restrictions and that we may contact you via your mobile device for any purpose concerning your Account with 
us, including Account servicing and collection purposes. We do not control the privacy and security of your 
information that may be held by the Wallet provider and that is governed by the privacy policy given to you by the 
Wallet provider. You agree not to leave your Mobile Device unattended while logged into the Wallet and to log off

WHAT ARE OUR RIGHTS If YOU DEFAULT OR WE HAVE A DISPUTE? 

Your Default 

An Account will be in default if: 

1) you fail to make at least the Minimum Payment when due; 2) you violate any other provision of this Agreement; 
3) we believe you may be unwilling or unable to pay your debts on time; 4) you file for bankruptcy; or 5) you 
become incapacitated or die. 

If your Account is in default, we may close your Account or terminate or suspend your credit privileges without 
notice and require full payment of your outstanding balance immediately. 

We can also begin collection activities.  To the extent permitted by law, if you are in default because you have 
failed to pay us, we will require you to pay our collection costs, attorneys’ fees, court costs and all other expenses 
of enforcing our rights under this Agreement. 

This Agreement contains an Arbitration Provision immediately below. Within 90 days after the date we 
open your Account, you may elect to reject the Arbitration Provision by providing a written notice of your 
intention to do so to the address: Legal Division (745), Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, P.O. Box 362708, 
San Juan, Puerto Rico 00936-2708. Unless you submit your rejection or to the extent permitted by 
applicable law, the Arbitration Provision will have a substantial impact on how any legal claims we have 
against each other are resolved if either you or we elect arbitration. For example, disputes subject to 
arbitration are decided by a neutral arbitrator and not a judge or jury.  This Arbitration Provision will not 
apply to, or be enforceable against, covered borrowers under the protection of the Military Lending Act. 
This Arbitration Provision shall not preclude you from pursuing or participating in a class action in court.  

Arbitration of 
Disputes 

ARBITRATION PROVISION 
IMPORTANT WAIVERS: IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, YOU AND WE BOTH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO: (1) HAVE A COURT 
OR  A  JURY  DECIDE  THE  CLAIM;  (2)  PARTICIPATE  IN  A  CLASS  ACTION  IN  COURT  OR  IN  ARBITRATION,  WHETHER  AS  A  CLASS 
REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR OTHERWISE, OR ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION (THE 
“CLASS  ACTION  WAIVER”);  (3)  JOIN  OR  CONSOLIDATE  CLAIM(S)  WITH  CLAIMS  INVOLVING  ANY  OTHER  PERSON  OR  (4)  OBTAIN 
INFORMATION EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN. OTHER RIGHTS ARE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION THAN IN COURT OR ARE NOT 
AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. 
DEFINITIONS – In this Arbitration Provision, the following definitions will apply: 
“Administrator” means, as applicable, the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or J.A.M.S./Endispute (“JAMS”) or if the AAA and 
JAMS cannot or will not serve, an arbitration administrator agreed-upon by the parties or appointed by a court, provided that the Administrator must 
not have in place a formal or informal policy that is inconsistent with and purports to override the terms of this Arbitration Provision. You may select 
the Administrator when you give written notice of an election to arbitrate a Claim or within 20 days after we give such a written notice. Otherwise, 
we will select the Administrator.  
“Claim” means any legal claim, dispute or controversy between you and us that arises from or relates in any way to this Agreement or the credit 
card Account including: (i) the fees or charges we or other parties impose in connection with this Agreement or the credit card Account or the other 
provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the interest, if any, paid on the credit card account; (iii) any application, disclosure or other document relating in 
any way to this Agreement; (iv) any service or product offered or made available by or through us in connection with this Agreement, including any 
associated fees, charges, terms or disclosures; (v) any documents, instruments, advertising or promotional materials that contain information about 
this Agreement or credit card Account, or any other such service or product; and (vi) the relationships resulting from any of the foregoing. This 
includes, without limitation, disputes involving alleged fraud or misrepresentation, breach of contract, negligence or violation of statute, regulation 
or common law; and disputes involving requests for injunctions or other equitable relief. However, “Claim” does not include: (a) any individual 
action brought by you in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different 
court; (b) any dispute or controversy about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof (including, 
without limitation, the Class Action Waiver set forth below, subparts (A) and (B) of the part set forth below titled “Survival, Primacy, Severability” 
and/or this sentence); all such disputes or controversies are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide (but any challenge to this Agreement as a 
whole is for an arbitrator and not a court to decide); or (c) any exercise by us of our right to off-set against the amounts you owe us with the 
amounts you have on deposit with us or any proceeding by you to enjoin the exercise of such right. 
STARTING ARBITRATION – To initiate arbitration, you or we must give written notice of an election to arbitrate. This notice may be given after a 
lawsuit has been filed and may be given in papers or motions in the lawsuit, such as a motion to compel arbitration. Even if all parties have opted 
to litigate a Claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim made by a new party or any Claim later asserted by a party in 
that or any related or unrelated lawsuit (including a Claim initially asserted on an individual basis but modified to be asserted on a class, 
representative or multi-party basis). Nothing in that litigation shall constitute a waiver of any rights under this Arbitration Provision. If notice of an 
election to arbitrate is given, the Claim shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Provision and the applicable rules of the Administrator 
then in effect. The arbitrator will be selected under the Administrator’s rules, except that the arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least 10 years of 
experience or a retired judge, unless you and we agree otherwise. 
LOCATION AND COSTS – Any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in a location that is reasonably convenient to you. We will 
consider (and generally honor) any good faith request to bear the fees charged by the Administrator and the arbitrator(s). Each party shall pay its 
own expenses; provided, if we lose, we will also pay all fees charged by the Administrator and the arbitrator(s) and all reasonable fees of your 
attorneys. In all cases, we will pay all fees and costs (including attorneys’ fees) we are required to bear under applicable law and/or in order for us 
to enforce this Arbitration Provision. 
DISCOVERY; GETTING INFORMATION – Either party may obtain from the other party prior to the hearing any information available under the 
Administrator’s rules or any information the arbitrator determines should be made available. 
EFFECT OF ARBITRATION AWARD – Any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. The arbitrator’s award will be 
final and binding, except for: (1) any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq. (the “FAA”); and (2) Claims involving more 
than $50,000. For Claims involving more than $50,000, any party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel appointed by the Administrator, 
which will reconsider de novo any aspect of the initial award that is appealed. The panel’s decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal 
right under the FAA. 
GOVERNING LAW – This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the FAA, 
and not by any state law concerning arbitration, provided that the law of New York shall be applicable to the extent that any state or territorial law is 
relevant in determining the enforceability of this Arbitration Provision under Section 2 of the FAA. The arbitrator shall follow applicable substantive 
law to the extent consistent with the FAA, applicable statutes of limitation and applicable privilege rules, and shall be authorized to award all 
remedies that would apply under applicable law to an individual action brought in court , including, without limitation, compensatory, statutory and 

 
punitive damages (subject to constitutional limits that would apply in court), declaratory, injunctive and other equitable relief (but only in favor of the 
individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim), and attorneys’ fees and 
costs. Upon the timely request of either party, the arbitrator shall write a brief explanation of the basis of his or her award. The arbitrator will follow 
rules of procedure and evidence consistent with the FAA, this Arbitration Provision and the Administrator’s rules. 
SURVIVAL, PRIMACY, SEVERABILITY – This Arbitration Provision shall survive closure of your credit card Account; our sale or transfer of our 
rights under this Agreement; any legal proceeding or set-off to collect a debt owed by you; or any bankruptcy or insolvency. In the event of any 
conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration Provision and the Administrator’s rules or this Agreement, this Arbitration Provision will govern. If 
any portion of this Arbitration Provision cannot be enforced in a proceeding between you and us, the rest of the Arbitration Provision will continue to 
apply, except that: (A) the entire Arbitration Provision (except for this sentence) shall be null and void if the class action waiver is held to be invalid 
regarding any class or representative Claim in a proceeding between you and us, subject to any right to appeal such holding, and (B) if a Claim is 
brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions in the class action waiver or other parts of this Arbitration 
Provision prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such Claim (and that 
determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the Claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any 
individual Claims seeking monetary relief will be arbitrated. In such a case the parties 
will request that the court stay the Claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. 
In no event will a Claim for class-wide relief or for public injunctive relief be arbitrated. 
BREACH OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT – If either party fails to submit to arbitration following a proper demand to do so, that party shall bear all 
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in seeking to compel arbitration.

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 Billing Statement  

If you think there is an error on your billing statement, write us at the address shown on your billing statement. 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 the problem: If you think there is an error on your billing statement, 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 billing 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. 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 billing statement 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 billing 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 have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will 
send you a billing 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 billing statement 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 you are questioning your billing statement. 
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 these rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your billing 
statement 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 territory) 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 the good 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 at the address shown on your 
billing statement.  

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.
