WELCOME TO

YOUR CARDmEmbER AGREEmENT

WELCOME TO YOUR MILITARY STAR REWARDS MASTERCARD ACCOUNT.
Review and save the following important information about your account. This document together with the Rates and Fees Table is an agreement between you, the cardmember, and Chase Bank USA, N.A., a 
subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. If you have any questions, please call us using the number on the back of your card. Chase has agreed to lend you money as described in this agreement, and you agree to 
pay us back together with interest charges and fees. Your use of the account or any payment on the account indicates your acceptance of the terms of this agreement. If any fee in the Rates and Fees Table is 
marked none, the section of this agreement that relates to that fee does not apply. 
This agreement is in addition to the MILITARY STAR Card agreement from the Exchange Credit Program that contains the terms and conditions of your MILITARY STAR Private Label account. Your MILITARY 
STAR Rewards MasterCard will allow you to access both accounts. Points earned on your Private Label account will be transferred to Chase by the Exchange Credit Program at the end of your Private Label 
account billing cycle, and will appear in your program rewards account balance on your next Chase billing statement. Chase is wholly responsible for administration of the MILITARY STAR Rewards MasterCard 
account. Other than reporting the points balance earned with your Private Label account, Chase is not responsible for the accuracy of points earned with your Private Label account and transferred to your 
program rewards account. The Exchange Credit Program is wholly responsible for the administration of the MILITARY STAR Private Label account.

GETTING STARTED: YOUR ACCOUNT 
Get acquainted with your account by reviewing the important terms below.

ImpORTANT TERm WhAT IT mEANS TO YOU

OUR RESpONSIbIlITY

Credit Limit

You are responsible for the total balance at all times, even if your balance exceeds your credit 
limit.

We will post your current credit limit on your monthly billing statement, and may 
cancel,  change  or  restrict  it  or  your  credit  availability  at  any  time.  We  are  not 
obligated to allow your account to go over its credit limit.

Authorized Users

You are responsible for any use of your account by an authorized user or anyone else that you 
permit to use your account. You must notify us if you want them to stop using your account. 
You  also  are  responsible  for  getting  any  cards,  checks  or  other  means  of  accessing  your 
account from the authorized user.

If you request, we may issue cards that access your account to your authorized 
users. If you wish to terminate an authorized user, we may close your account and 
open a new account with a different account number.

Annual  
Membership Fee

If your account has an annual fee, you are responsible for it every year your account is open or 
until your account is closed and paid in full. Your monthly billing statement will tell you how to 
cancel your account and avoid future annual fees.

If your account has an annual fee, we will add your annual fee to your monthly 
billing statements either once a year or in installments, whether or not you use 
your account.

Amendments

We may change the terms of this agreement including APRs and fees from time to time. 
We may also add new terms or delete terms. APRs or other terms may also change 
without  amendment,  for  example  when  the  Prime  Rate  changes  or  the  penalty  APR 
becomes applicable. See the Variable Rate and Penalty APR sections for details.

ImpORTANT DEfINITIONS

TERm

WhAT IT mEANS

Our ability to make changes to this agreement is limited by applicable law. 

Cash-like 
Transactions

The following transactions will be treated as cash advances: purchasing travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions; purchasing 
lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions; and making a payment using a third party service.

Payment Due 
Date

Payments are due on the payment due date shown on your monthly statement. The monthly statement also explains when the payment must reach us in order to be considered 
received as of that date. Payments received after the required time will be credited on the next business day.

Variable Rate

We calculate variable APRs by adding a margin to the highest U.S. Prime Rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal two business days (not weekends or 
federal holidays) before the closing date shown on your billing statement. The APR may increase or decrease each month if the Prime Rate changes. Any new rate will be applied as 
of the first day of your billing cycle during which the Prime Rate has changed. If the APR increases, you will pay a higher interest charge and may pay a higher minimum payment. The 
Prime Rate is simply a reference index and is not the lowest interest rate available. If The Wall Street Journal stops publishing the Prime Rate, we will select a similar reference rate.

Default

Your account will be in default if:
1) You do not pay at least the minimum payment when due; 2) You exceed your credit limit; 3) You fail to comply with this or other agreements with us or one of our related banks; or 4) 
We believe you may be unwilling or unable to pay your debts on time; you file for bankruptcy; or you become incapacitated or die.
If your account is in default, we may close it without notice and require you to pay your unpaid 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.

USING YOUR CARD 
You can use your account in the following ways. You cannot use your account for illegal purposes, such as Internet gambling and writing checks against uncollected funds.

TRANSACTIONS

WhAT IT mEANS TO YOU

OUR RESpONSIbIlITY 

Purchases

You may use your account to buy goods and services.

We authorize charges to your account in accordance with the terms of this agreement.

Balance 
Transfers

Cash 
Advances

Checks

You can transfer balances to your account by using balance transfer checks, 
visiting our website or calling us.

We permit balance transfers from most non-Chase accounts. We do not permit balance transfers from 
other accounts or loans with us or any of our related banks. 

You may obtain cash from automatic teller machines, at banks or by using 
cash advance checks. Balance transfer checks or promotional checks made 
payable to cash or yourself will be treated as cash advances.

We treat certain other transactions as cash advances. See the Cash-like Transactions section under 
Important Definitions above. 

For  your  protection,  balance  transfer  and  cash  advance  checks  must  be 
signed by the person whose name is printed on the checks. 

We may provide balance transfer checks and cash advance checks for your use; we have the right not 
to pay a check for any reason. 

Overdraft Advances

You may set up this account to cover overdrafts on your checking account. 

We allow Chase credit card accounts to be linked to a checking account with one of our related banks. 
The terms of this agreement and your checking account agreement will apply.

Automatic Charges

You may set up scheduled and repeat transactions to your account. If your 
account is closed or suspended, or your account number changes, you will 
need to contact any persons that you are paying by automatic transactions.

We are not responsible for scheduled and repeat transactions if your account is closed, suspended 
or the account number changes.

Promotions

You may receive special offers related to your account.

Any special offer is subject to this agreement, unless explained otherwise.

Foreign Transaction 
Fee and Exchange 
Rate

There is a fee, unless “None” is stated in the Rates and Fees Table, for 
transactions  that  take  place  outside  of  the  United  States,  even  if  the 
currency used is U.S. Dollars. Our fee is calculated on the U.S. Dollar 
amount of the transaction. Please see the Rates and Fees Table for the 
amount of this fee, if any.

If a transaction is in a foreign currency, Visa International or MasterCard International will convert the 
transaction into U.S. dollars using their own currency conversion procedures, and then will send us the 
transaction amount. The exchange rate will be determined using either the range of rates available in 
the wholesale currency markets for the processing date (which may be different from the rate the card 
association receives) or a government-mandated rate in effect on that date. The exchange rate used 
by Visa or MasterCard may differ from the rate on the date of your transaction.

Authorization of 
Transactions / Closing 
Your Account

We are not obligated to honor every transaction, and we may close or 
suspend your account. Sometimes we close accounts based not on 
your actions or inactions, but on our business needs.

We may decline transactions for any reason, including: operational matters, the account is in default, 
or suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity. We are not responsible for any losses associated with a 
declined transaction.

Payment 
Instructions

Minimum 
Payment

You must follow the payment instructions on your billing statement. You can pay us by: 
check, money order, or electronic payment drawn on a U.S. bank or a foreign bank branch 
in the U.S. All payments must be in U.S. Dollars. You authorize us to collect any payment 
check either electronically or by draft. Payments marked “paid in full” must be sent to the 
Conditional Payments address shown on your billing statement. See your billing statement 
for complete payment instructions.

You agree to pay at least the minimum payment when due. You also agree to pay overlimit 
amounts when billed to your monthly statements or sooner if we ask. Minimum payments 
may include specific fixed payments that are part of special promotions. You can pay down 
balances faster by paying more than the minimum payment or the total unpaid balance on 
your account.

As  long  as  you  make  your  payment  in  accordance  with  the  instructions  on  your  billing 
statement by the date and time payments are due, we will credit your payment as of the 
same day it is received. We may accept and process any payments marked as “paid in full” 
without losing our rights.

We will calculate your minimum payment based on the method described below the Rates 
and Fees Table. The minimum payment will appear on your monthly statement, and may 
include any past due amounts and any overlimit amounts.

Interest-Free 
Period / Interest 
Charges

If you pay your account in full each billing period by the date and time due, no interest is 
charged on new purchases month to month. Also, we will not impose interest charges on 
any portion of a purchase balance you repay while that balance is subject to an interest-
free period.

Subject to any interest-free period for new purchases, we will begin charging interest from 
the date new transactions appear on your account until paid in full. For more details about 
how  we  calculate  your  interest  charges,  please  see  the  Interest  Charges  section  of  this 
agreement.

Payment 
Allocation

You  may  want  to  consider  making  more  than  your  required  minimum  payment.  When 
you do, the excess generally goes toward paying off your highest APR balance first, then 
other  balances  in  order  of  descending  APRs.  Because  we  apply  payments  in  excess  of 
your minimum payment first to higher rate balances, you may not be able to avoid interest 
charges on new purchases if you have another balance at a higher interest rate unless you 
pay your balance in full each month.

For the portion of any payment less than or equal to the required minimum payment and for 
any credits, we will apply that amount to your balance in any way we choose.

Credit Balances

You may request a refund of credit balances at any time.

If you don’t request a refund, we will apply credit balances to new transactions unless a 
refund is required by law.

“hOW TO AvOID...” 
Certain transactions and situations may cause your account to receive a fee or have another impact on your account. The information below explains how you can avoid these outcomes. Amounts of these fees 
are listed in the Rates and Fees Table. The Rates and Fees Table indicates amounts “up to” certain limits for penalty fees because applicable law may restrict our ability to impose the full amount of the penalty 
fee in some circumstances. See the “Penalty Fees” provision below the Rates and Fees Table for additional detail reflecting limitations imposed under applicable law. Special services you request may incur 
additional service fees; be sure to carefully review the details of any additional services to understand the terms.

“hOW TO AvOID...” WhAT TO DO

Late Fee

Ensure Chase receives at least the minimum payment shown 
on your billing statement when due.

Over-the-Credit-
Limit Fee

Ensure your total balance stays below your credit limit.

Return Check Fee

Do not stop payment on cash advance and balance transfer 
checks, and do not default.

WhAT IT mEANS
If any payment is late, we may charge you a late fee. If the fee is based on a balance, we calculate the fee using the 
total balance at the end of the day the fee is charged.

If you agree to allow us to charge overlimit fees, we may charge such a fee when your account balance goes over limit. 
We may charge this fee even though your balance is over limit because of a transaction we allowed. You may withdraw 
your consent to our charging overlimit fees at any time.

We may charge a return check fee if we stop payment on a cash advance check or balance transfer check at your 
request, or we refuse to pay a cash advance check or balance transfer check for any reason, including because your 
account is in default.

Return Payment Fee

Do not submit a payment that could be returned unpaid.

We may charge this fee if the payment you offer to us is not honored, is returned unpaid, or cannot be processed.

Penalty APR

Do not:
•  Fail to make any minimum payment by the date and time 

due (late payment);

• Exceed your credit limit; 
• Make a payment to us that is returned unpaid; or
•  Do any of the above on another account or loan you have 

with us or any of our related banks.

We can impose a penalty APR, which is higher than the rate you would otherwise pay, for any of these reasons. If 
we impose a penalty APR, it will apply indefinitely to future transactions. If we do not receive any minimum payment 
within 60 days of the date and time due, the penalty APR will apply to all outstanding balances, as well as to future 
transactions. However, in connection with a payment default of 60 or more days, 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 when due beginning immediately after the increase to 
the penalty APR.

Collections

Do not default.

If you are in default, we may take the actions described above in the Default section under Important Definitions above.

INTEREST ChARGES

Daily Interest Rates and Annual Percentage Rates may be found on the Rates and Fees Table.

Periodic Interest Charge Calculation—Daily balance method (Including current transactions):
We calculate a daily balance for each type of transaction and use the daily balances to determine your interest charges.

We figure the “daily balance” for each transaction type as follows:

•  We take the beginning balance for each day and add 

-  any interest charge from the prior day (known as compounding of interest) and 
-  any new transactions or other debits (including transaction fees, other fees and unpaid interest charges).

•  We subtract payments or credits, and treat any net credit balance as a zero balance.
•  The result is the daily balance for each type of transaction.

We figure the interest charges on your account as follows:

•  To get the daily interest rate for each type of transaction we divide the APR by 365. We may combine different transaction types that have the same daily interest rates.
•  We multiply the daily interest rate by the daily balance for each transaction type for each day in the billing cycle.
•  We add together the interest charges for each day in the billing cycle for each transaction type.
•  If any interest charge is due, we will charge you at least the minimum interest charge shown on the Rates and Fees Table.

We add transactions and fees to your daily balance no earlier than:

•  For new purchases, balance transfers, overdraft advances or cash advances – the date of the transaction.
•  For new cash advance checks or balance transfer checks – the date the payee deposits the check.
•  Fees – either on the date of a related transaction, the date they are posted to your account, or the last day of the billing cycle, whichever we may choose.

The Balances Subject to Interest Rate for each type of transaction shown on your billing statement is the sum of the daily balances for that type of transaction divided by the number of days in the billing cycle. 
We may use mathematical formulas that produce equivalent results to calculate the Balance Subject to Interest Rate, interest charges and related amounts.

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement

If you think there is an error on your statement, contact us in writing at the Customer Service address or electronically at the website address as shown on your billing statement. In your communication, 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 Written or Electronic Communication

When we receive your communication, we must do two things:

1.  Within 30 days of receiving your communication, we must tell you that we received it. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.
2.  Within 90 days of receiving your communication, 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 contact us in writing or electronically 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 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. (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 at the Customer Service address or electronically at the website 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.
