EXTENSION OF CREDIT: If your Application is approved, we may, at our discretion, establish 
an Account in your name and cause one or more Cards to be issued to you or those designated 
by  you.  In  such  event,  you  authorize  us  to  pay  for  your  Account,  all  items  reflecting  credit 
purchases, balance transfers, convenience checks, and cash advances obtained through use of 
the Card. Being a member of GECU is necessary to obtain and maintain use of the Card. 

JOINT APPLICANT LIABILITY: If this Agreement is executed by more than one person, each 
of you shall be jointly and individually liable to us for all charges made to the Account, including 
applicable  fees.  In  addition,  you  agree  that  each  of  you  designates  the  other  as  agent for  the 
purpose  of  making  purchases  extended  under  this  Agreement  and  each  use  of  your  Account 
shall be an extension of credit to all. Notice to one of you shall constitute notice to all. Any joint 
cardholder  may  remove  him/herself  from  responsibility  for  future  purchases  at  any  time  by 
notifying  us  in  writing.  However,  removal  from  the  Account  does  not  release  you  from  any 
liability already incurred. 

CONVENIENCE  CHECKS:  We  may,  at  our  discretion,  issue  checks  to  you.  By  signing  such 
checks, you authorize us to pay the item for the amount indicated and post such amount as a 
cash  advance  to  your  Account.  We  do  not  have  to  pay  any  item  which  would  cause  the 
outstanding  balance  in  your  Account  to  exceed  your  credit  limit.  We  may  reject  and  return 
unpaid any Convenience Check you write for any reason.  Checks used to access your account 
may not be accepted if made to cash, you, or if presented in a format other than the checks we 
issue.  Convenience checks may not be used to pay off existing debt at GECU.  

OTHERS  USING  YOUR  ACCOUNT:  If  you  allow  anyone  else  to  use  your  Card,  you  will  be 
liable  for  all  credit  extended  to  such  persons.  You  promise  to  pay  for  all  purchases,  balance 
transfers, convenience checks, and cash advances made by anyone whom you authorize to use 
your  Card,  whether  or  not  you  notify  us  that  he  or  she  will  be  using  it.  If  someone  else  is 
authorized to use your card and you want to end that person’s privilege, you must notify us in 
writing and, if he or she has a Card, you must return the Card with your written notice for it to be 
effective. 

CREDIT LIMITS: You promise that payments we make for your Account(s) resulting from use of 
the Card will, at no time, cause the outstanding balance of your Account to exceed your credit 
limit as established by us or as adjusted from time to time at our discretion. 

TRANSACTION LIMITS:  The maximum balance permitted for all cash advance transactions is 
50  percent  of  your  credit  limit,  subject  to  the  terms  and  limitations  outlined  herein.    Balance 
transfers between the GECU credit card programs are not permitted. 

PROMISE TO PAY: You promise to pay us in U.S. dollars for (a) all purchases, cash advances, 
balance transfers, and convenience checks made by you or anyone whom you authorize to use 
the  Card  or  Account;  (b)  FINANCE  CHARGES  and  other  charges  or fees;  (c)  collection  costs 
and attorneys’ fees as permitted by applicable law and any costs incurred in the recovery of the 
Card; and (d) credit in excess of your credit limit that we may extend to you. At the end of each 
monthly billing cycle for which you have a balance on your Account, you will be furnished with a 
periodic statement showing (i) the “Previous Balance” (the outstanding balance in the Account 
at the beginning of the billing cycle), (ii) the amount of all cash advances, purchases, balance 
transfers,  convenience  checks,  over-the-limit  fees,  late  charges,  annual  fees,  FINANCE 
CHARGES  and  other  charges  or  fees  posted  to  your  Account  during  the  billing  cycle,  (iii)  the 

Rev. 10/3/17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
amount of all payments and credits posted to your Account during the billing cycle and (iv) the 
“New Balance” which is the sum of (i) and (ii) minus (iii). 

You agree to pay for your Account on or before the Payment Due Date shown on the monthly 
periodic statement either the entire New Balance or a Minimum Payment equal to any amount, 
which  is  at  least  2%  of  the  New  Balance  or  $25.00  whichever  is  greater,  plus  any  amount  in 
excess  of  the  credit  limit  established  by  us  and  any  past  due  minimum  payments.  If  the  New 
Balance is $25.00 or less, you agree to pay it in full. You may make extra payments in advance 
of the due date without a penalty and  you may repay any funds advanced, credit extended or 
amount outstanding at any time without a penalty for early payment. Regardless of the amount 
of  any  extra  payment  during  a  given  month,  a  monthly  payment  will  be  required  the  following 
month if a balance remains in your Account. 

COST  OF  CREDIT:  You  will  pay  a  FINANCE  CHARGE  for  all  advances  made  against  your 
Account. FINANCE CHARGES for cash advances, balance transfers, and convenience checks 
begin to accrue on the date of the advance. New purchases will not incur a FINANCE CHARGE 
on the date they are posted to your Account if you have paid the Account in full by the Payment 
Due Date shown on your previous monthly statement or if there was no previous balance. Cash 
Advances incur a FINANCE CHARGE from the date they are posted to your Account. 

No  additional  FINANCE  CHARGES  will  be  imposed  on  new  purchases  shown  on  your 
statement if the New Balance shown on the statement is paid in full by the Payment Due Date 
reflected on the statement. For purchases made with your Card, there is at least a 25-day grace 
period within which the New Balance may be paid without incurring a FINANCE CHARGE. 

The Periodic Rate portion of the FINANCE CHARGE is figured by applying the periodic rate to 
the  “Balance  Subject  to  FINANCE  CHARGE”  which  is  the  “Average  Daily  Balance”  of  your 
Account,  including  current  transactions. The  Average  Daily  Balance  is  arrived  at  by  taking  the 
beginning  balance  of  your  Account  each  day,  adding  new  cash  advances,  balance  transfers, 
and  convenience  checks,  and  unless  you  pay  your  entire  Account  Balance  in  full  by  the 
Payment Due Date shown on your previous monthly statement or there is no previous balance, 
adding  in  new  purchases,  and  subtracting  any  payments  or  credits  and  unpaid  FINANCE 
CHARGES.  This  gives  us  the  daily  balance.  The  daily  balances  for  the  billing  cycle  are  then 
added together and divided by the number of days in the billing cycle. The result is the “Average 
Daily  Balance.”  The  Periodic  Rate  portion  of  the  FINANCE  CHARGE  is  determined  by 
multiplying  the  Average Daily  Balance  by  the  number  of  days  in  the  billing  cycle  and  applying 
the respective periodic rate to the product. If your periodic rate is computed based on an Index, 
your periodic rate(s) may vary. 

The APR is a variable rate determined quarterly by adding a margin of 7.49% to 13.49%, not to 
exceed 17.90% APR, (depending on our review of your application and creditworthiness) to the 
Prime  Rate  (Index).  This  Index  as  published  in  the  “Money  Rates”  column  of  The  Wall  Street 
Journal on the last business day of each calendar quarter. If the last business day of a calendar 
quarter falls on a weekend or a holiday, then the Index published on the preceding business day 
for that month will be used. The Index will be applied the first day of your billing cycle that ends 
in  the  calendar  month  following  each  quarter  end.    Your  account  shall  generally  be  reviewed 
every  12  to  24  months  to  determine  the  appropriate  margin  and  credit  score  range,  and  as 
otherwise  required  by  law.   Changes  to  your  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATE  will  be  applied 
upon notification in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 

The  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATE  for  purchases,  cash  advances,  balance  transfers,  or 
convenience checks in any given billing cycle will be the Index plus the margin as set forth in the 

Rev. 10/3/17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Additional Disclosure. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES for purchases, balance transfers, 
and  convenience  checks  are  referred  to  as  the  Standard  Rate.  The  daily  periodic  rate  and 
corresponding  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATE  for  purchases,  cash  advances,  balance 
transfers, and convenience checks are set forth in the Additional Disclosure. 

For  all,  purchases,  cash  advances,  balance  transfers,  and  convenience  checks,  the  Standard 
Rate ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will never be greater than 17.90% with a corresponding 
Standard Rate Daily Periodic Rate of .04904%. 

Please  note  that  the  terms  of  your  account,  including  any  of  the  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE 
RATES, are subject to change. Future changes to the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES will be 
in accordance with the Agreement and Disclosure Statement for your account. 

PENALTY APR:  No Penalty APR. 

LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE: Under MasterCard’s® zero liability policy, you will not 
be  liable  for  an  unauthorized  transaction,  as  long  as  you  exercised  reasonable  care  in 
safeguarding the card from risk of loss or theft, and upon becoming aware, promptly notify our 
designee  orally  or  in  writing  of  the  loss,  theft,  or  possible  unauthorized  use  at  Card  Services, 
Dispute  Processing,  P.O.  Box  10409,  Des  Moines, 
IA  50306,  Telephone  Number 
1.800.810.2252.  In  any  case,  your  maximum  liability  for  unauthorized  use  of  the  Card  will  not 
exceed $50.00 and you  will not be  liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after you notify 
our designee of the address or telephone number above.  

SKIP PAYMENT OPTION: We may designate a billing period in which you will have an option 
to  skip  a  payment  or  pay  less  than  the  Minimum  Payment  Due.    If  you  exercise  this  option, 
FINANCE  CHARGES  will  accrue  based  on  your  “Average  Daily  Balance”  as  described  in  the 
GECU Rewards Credit Card Agreement and Disclosure Statement. 

CREDITING OF PAYMENTS: Payments made on your Account at the address designated for 
payment on the monthly periodic statement or in-person payments at a branch made prior to the 
close of business will be credited on the date of receipt. If the date of receipt is not a business 
day, your payment will be credited on the first business day following receipt. Payments on your 
Account  will  be  applied  first  to  collection  costs,  then  to  any  FINANCE  CHARGE  and  to  other 
fees due, and then to the unpaid principal balance as required by law. Interest paid or agreed to 
be paid shall not exceed the maximum amount of interest permissible under applicable law, and 
in  any  contingency  whatsoever,  if  we  shall  receive  anything  of  value  deemed  interest  under 
applicable  law  which  would  exceed  the  maximum  amount  of  interest  permissible  under 
applicable  law,  the  excessive  interest  shall  be  applied  to  the  reduction  of  the  unpaid  principal 
amount or refunded to you. 

ATM TRANSACTIONS:  When you conduct a transaction at an ATM, you may be charged a 
fee by the ATM operator or any network used to complete the transfer. 

LATE PAYMENT FEE: If a payment is 10 days or more past due, you will be charged a Late

is less than $25, the Returned Payment Fee will be equal to your minimum payment.*

SECURITY:  YOU  GRANT  THE  CREDIT  UNION  A  SECURITY  INTEREST  UNDER  THE 
UNIFORM  COMMERCIAL  CODE  AND  UNDER  ANY  COMMON  LAW  RIGHTS  THE  CREDIT 
UNION MAY HAVE IN ANY GOODS YOU PURCHASE. YOU SPECIFICALLY GRANT US  A 
SECURITY  INTEREST  IN  ALL  INDIVIDUAL  AND  JOINT  ACCOUNTS  YOU  HAVE  WITH  US 
NOW  AND  IN  THE  FUTURE  TO  SECURE  REPAYMENT  OF  CREDIT  EXTENSIONS  MADE 
UNDER  THIS  AGREEMENT.  THE  GRANTING  OF  THIS  SECURITY  INTEREST  IS  A 
CONDITION  FOR  THE  ISSUANCE  OF  ANY  CARD  WHICH  YOU  MAY  USE,  DIRECTLY  OR 
INDIRECTLY, TO OBTAIN EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SHARES 
AND  DEPOSITS  IN  AN  INDIVIDUAL  RETIREMENT  ACCOUNT  (IRA)  OR  ANY  OTHER 
ACCOUNT THAT WOULD LOSE SPECIAL TAX TREATMENT UNDER STATE OR FEDERAL 
LAW  IF  GIVEN  AS  SECURITY  ARE  NOT  SUBJECT  TO  THE  SECURITY  INTEREST  YOU 
ARE  GIVING.  COLLATERAL  SECURING  OTHER  LOANS  WITH  US  MAY  ALSO  SECURE 
PAYMENTS  FOR  YOUR  ACCOUNT  UNDER  THIS  AGREEMENT.  YOU  MAY  WITHDRAW 
THESE OTHER SHARES UNLESS YOU ARE IN DEFAULT. WHEN YOU ARE IN DEFAULT, 
YOU  AUTHORIZE  US  TO  APPLY  THE  BALANCE  IN  THESE  ACCOUNTS  TO  ANY 
AMOUNTS  DUE.  FOR  EXAMPLE,  IF  YOU  HAVE  AN  UNPAID  CREDIT  CARD  BALANCE, 
YOU AGREE WE MAY USE FUNDS IN YOUR ACCOUNT(S) TO PAY ANY OR ALL OF THE 
UNPAID BALANCE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR PLEDGE DOES NOT 
APPLY DURING  ANY PERIODS WHEN YOU  ARE  A COVERED BORROWER UNDER THE 
MILITARY  LENDING  ACT.  FOR  CLARITY,  YOU  WILL  NOT  BE  DEEMED  A  COVERED 
BORROWER,  AND  YOUR  PLEDGE  WILL  APPLY,  IF:  (I)  YOU  ESTABLISHED  YOUR 
CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT WHEN YOU WERE NOT A COVERED BORROWER; OR (II) YOU 
CEASE TO BE A COVERED BORROWER. 

UNLESS  OTHERWISE  PROHIBITED  BY  FEDERAL  AND/OR  STATE  LAW,  COLLATERAL 
SECURING  OTHER  LOANS  YOU  HAVE  WITH  THE  CREDIT  UNION  MAY  ALSO  SECURE 
THIS LOAN, EXCEPT  THAT  A DWELLING WILL NEVER BE CONSIDERED  AS SECURITY 
FOR  THIS  ACCOUNT,  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANYTHING  TO  THE  CONTRARY  IN  ANY 
OTHER AGREEMENT. 

EARNING  POINTS:    You  will  earn  (“Points”)  for  all  purchases  of  eligible  goods  and  services 
using  your  Rewards  Card.    Points  are  earned  at  a  rate  of  1  point  per  $1  spent  on  qualifying 
purchases.  The calculation for Points earned is based on whole dollars and is rounded to the 
nearest whole dollar, i.e. $21.25 = $21 = 21 points; $49.51 = $50 = 50 points). There is no limit 
to the number of Points you can earn in a billing cycle or within a Program year. The Program 
year is based on the month of the Program registration (i.e. account opening).   

Rev. 10/3/17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Points accumulated for other products or services are determined at the sole discretion of the 
Sponsor  and  GECU.    Cash  advances,  balance  transfers,  ATM  transactions,  and  transactions 
with the use of convenience checks are not eligible to earn points.  To be eligible to earn Points, 
your account(s) must be open (meaning not closed, canceled or terminated for any reason) and 
the Rewards Card cannot be delinquent and/or over the limit. 

Point  earnings  are  based  on  the  net  retail  purchase  transaction  volume  (i.e.,  purchases  less 
credits,  returns,  and  adjustments)  charged  to  your  Rewards  Card  during  each  day.  Net 
purchases are rounded to the nearest dollar and are subject to verification.  If a transaction is 
subject to a billing dispute, the Point value of the transaction may be deducted from the Point 
total during the dispute period. If the transaction is reinstated, points will be reinstated.   

If more than one card has been issued for the same account, the Points earned from each card 
will automatically be pooled together into one available Point balance. 

Points  may  not  be  combined  with  any  other  loyalty/frequency  reward  program  that  is  not 
managed by the Sponsor and GECU.   

The Sponsor and GECU reserve the right to award bonus Points for any activity or condition it 
decides.    Points  are  not  your  property  and  cannot  be  bought,  sold,  or  transferred  in  any  way 
(including  upon  death  or  as  part  of  a  domestic  relations  matter).    Points  are  tracked  and 
redeemable  on  first-in,  first-out  basis.    Refer  to  the  redemption  website  (gecu.com)  for  point 
liability 
expiration  details.  GECU, 
for 
disagreements  with  you 
regarding  Point 
discrepancies shall be final. 

the  Sponsor  and  Administrator  shall  have  no 

regarding  points.  The  Sponsor’s  decisions 

REDEEMING  POINTS:    At  the  Sponsor’s  and  GECU’s  option,  redemption  of  points  may  be 
restricted, limited, expired or cancelled at any time without prior notice. To redeem points, visit 
the redemption website (gecu.com) or call the member service department at 1.888.715.2593. 
To be eligible to redeem Points, your account(s) must be open (meaning not closed, canceled, 
or terminated for any reason) and the Rewards Card cannot be delinquent and/or over the limit. 

Points  are  deducted from  your  point  balance  as  soon  as  they  are  redeemed.    Points must  be 
redeemed by you, but can be used to provide a reward for another person of your choice. 

You agree to release GECU, the Sponsor and Administrator and each of their vendors from all 
liability  for  any  injury,  accident,  loss,  claim,  expense  or  damages  sustained  by  you  associated 
with a reward or use of rewards while participating in this Program and in the case of a travel 
reward, anyone traveling with or without you, in connection with the receipt, ownership, or use of 
any  reward.  GECU,  the  Administrator  and  the  Sponsor  shall  not  be  liable  for  consequential 
damages, and the sole extent of liability, if at all, shall not exceed the actual value of the reward. 

You  are  responsible  for  determining  any  tax  liability  arising  from  participation  in  the  Program. 
Consult a tax advisor concerning tax consequences. 

Please  see  the  Programs’  website  at  gecu.com  for  additional  information  concerning  the 
rewards  options  available  and  the  terms  and  conditions  surrounding  those  offers.    Other  fees 
may apply at the time of point redemption depending on the category of reward you select for

EXPIRATION AND FORFEITURE OF POINTS:  Points will expire three years (3) from earning 
and the oldest Points will expire first (i.e. first in, first out).  Points will expire on the billing cycle 
date within the month of expiration.  Points will be forfeited if your Account is closed, revoked, 
frozen, delinquent and/or over the limit, or if you are in bankruptcy.   

DEFAULT: You will be in default: (1) if you fail to make any payment on time; (2) if you fail to 
keep any promises you have made under this or any other agreement with us; (3) if you are the 
subject of an order of relief under Title 11 of the U.S. Code (Bankruptcy); (4) if anyone tries, by 
legal process, to take any of your money maintained with us; (5) if you have given us false or 
inaccurate  information  in  obtaining  your  Card;  or  (6)  if  we  reasonably  believe  that  you  are 
unable or unwilling to repay your obligations to us. 

ACCELERATION: If you are in default, without notice to you, we may accelerate your debt and 
call any amounts you owe immediately due and payable, plus FINANCE CHARGES which shall 
continue to accrue until the entire amount is paid. If you default on your Account you authorize 
us  to  transfer  the  balance  of  your  Account  to  another  linked  account  of  yours.  You  expressly 
waive  any  right  to  notice  of  our  intention  to  accelerate  and  notice  that  your  debt  has  been 
accelerated. 

TERMINATION  AND  CHANGES:  You  may  terminate  this  Agreement,  by  written  notice,  as  to 
future  advances  at  any  time.  We  can  terminate  this  Agreement  at  any  time  subject  to  such 
notice  as  may  be  required  by  applicable  law.  Termination  by  either  party  shall  not  affect  your 
obligation to repay any payments made for your Account resulting from use of the Card as well 
as  FINANCE  CHARGES  and  other  related  charges.  We  may  change  the  terms  of  this 
Agreement, including the periodic rate, at any time subject to such notice as may be required by 
applicable law. 

CLOSING  AN  ACCOUNT  AND  CONTINUATION  OF  CERTAIN  TERMS  OF  THIS 
AGREEMENT: We may close or suspend  your  Account at any time  without prior notice.  You 
may  also  close  your  Account  by  notifying  us.    Once  your  account  is  closed,  (A)  you  may  not 
make any new transactions, and you must destroy all Cards and Convenience Checks; and (B) 
you must repay any outstanding balance pursuant to the Terms of this Agreement.  Closing the 
Account will not prevent transactions from being added to the Account and you will remain liable 
for all unpaid balances including transactions made or processed after the date the Account is 
closed. 

NOTIFCATION  ADDRESS  FOR  INFORMATION  REPORTED  TO  CONSUMER  REPORTING 
AGENCIES: We may report the status and payment history of your Account to credit reporting 
agencies  each  month.  If  you  believe  that  the  information  we  have  reported  is  inaccurate  or 
incomplete,  please  notify  us  in  writing  at  our  primary  address  shown  in  the  Terms  of  this 
Agreement  section  of  this  Agreement.  Please  include  your  name,  address,  home  telephone 
number and Account number. 

CREDIT  INVESTIGATION:  In  conjunction  with  your  application  for  credit  and,  if  approved, 
maintenance  of  your  Account,  you  agree  that  we  have  the  right  to  investigate  your  credit  and 
employment  history,  to  verify  your  credit  references,  to  request  and  use  credit  reports,  and  to 
report the way you pay your Account to credit bureaus and other interested parties. 

ILLEGAL TRANSACTIONS: You may not use your Card for any illegal transaction. You agree 
that we may decline to process any transaction that we believe in good faith to be for an illegal 
purpose. You agree that we will not be liable for declining to process any such transaction. If we 
do process any transaction that ultimately is determined to have been for an illegal purpose, you 

Rev. 10/3/17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
agree  that  you  will  remain  liable  to  us  under  this  agreement  for  any  such  transaction 
notwithstanding its illegal nature. You agree that any illegal use of the Card will be deemed an 
act  of  default  under  this  Agreement.  YOU  FURTHER  AGREE  TO  WAIVE  ANY  RIGHT  TO 
TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST GECU FOR YOUR ILLEGAL USE OF THE CARD AND TO 
INDEMNIFY  AND HOLD GECU  AND MASTERCARD® INTERNATIONAL, INCORPORATED 
HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY LAWSUIT, OTHER LEGAL ACTION OR LIABILITY 
THAT RESULTS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM SUCH ILLEGAL USE. 

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERSION: If you effect a transaction with your MasterCard card in 
a currency other than U.S. dollars, MasterCard International will convert the charge into a U.S. 
dollar  amount.  MasterCard  International  will  use  its  currency-conversion  procedure,  which  is 
disclosed  to  institutions  that  issue  MasterCard  cards.  Currently  the  currency-conversion  rate 
used by MasterCard International to determine the transaction amount in U.S. dollars for such 
transactions is generally either a government-mandated rate or a wholesale rate determined by 
MasterCard  International  for  the  processing  cycle  in  which  the  transaction  is  processed, 
increased  by  an  adjustment  factor  established  from  time  to  time  by  MasterCard  International. 
The  currency-conversion  rate  used  by  MasterCard  International  on  the  processing  date  may 
differ from  the  rate  that  would  have  been  used  on  the  purchase  date  or  cardholder  statement 
posting date. You agree that you will not cause or allow the Card to be used in any manner or 
for  any  transaction  that  we  believe  poses  an  undue  risk  or  illegality  and  we  may  refuse  to 
authorize any such use or transaction. You agree that any illegal use of the Card will be deemed 
an act of default under this Agreement. 

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS: Each provision of this Agreement must be considered part of the 
total  Agreement  and  cannot  in  any  way  be  severed  from  it.  However,  if  any  provision  of  this 
Agreement is finally determined to be void or unenforceable under any law, rule, or regulation, 
all  other  provisions  of  this  Agreement  will  remain  valid  and  enforceable.  You  understand  that 
this Agreement is performable in the country and state of the aforementioned credit union in this 
Agreement, and the validity, construction, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed 
by applicable federal law and the laws of the state in which the aforementioned credit union is 
primarily  located. We  do  not  warrant  any  merchandise  or  services  purchased  by  you  with  the 
Card.  All  purchases  and  cash  advances  are  extended  at  the  option  of  the  merchant  or  cash 
advancing  financial  institution  and  we  are  not  responsible  for  the  refusal  of  any  merchant  or 
financial  institution  to  honor  your  Card.  The  Card  remains  our  property  at  all  times  and  you 
agree to immediately surrender the Card upon demand. You agree to pay all reasonable costs 
of collection, including court costs and attorney’s fees, and any costs incurred in the recovery of 
the Card. We can accept late payments or partial payments, or check or money orders marked 
“payment  in  full”  without  losing  any  of  our  rights  under  the  Agreement.  We  can  also  delay 
enforcing  any  of  our  rights  under  this  Agreement  without  losing  them.  You  expressly  waive 
presentment  for  payment,  demand,  protest,  and  notice  of  protest  and  dishonor  of  same.  You 
agree to give us prompt notice of any change in your name, mailing address, telephone number 
or place of employment. 

RECEIPT OF AND AGREEMENT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT: 
By  using  the  Card,  you  agree  to  all  the  terms  and  conditions  and  promise  to  perform  all  the 
obligations, requirements, and duties contained in this Agreement, and you acknowledge receipt 
of a copy of this Agreement.

WHAT TO DO IF THERE IS AN ERROR ON YOUR STATEMENT 

Rev. 10/3/17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTICE OF YOUR BILLING RIGHTS – 
KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE. 
This  notice  contains  important  information  about  your  rights  and  our  responsibilities  under  the 
Fair Credit Billing Act. 

Notify Us in Case of Errors or Questions About Your Statement. 
If you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction on your 
statement, write us on a separate sheet at the address listed on your statement. Write to us as 
soon  as  possible.  We  must  hear  from  you  no  later  than  60  days  after  we  sent  you  the  first 
statement on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone us, but doing so will not 
preserve your rights. 

In your letter, provide us with the following information: (a) your name and account number; (b) 
the dollar amount of the suspected error; (c) a description of the error and explain, if you can, 
why you believe there is an error. If you need more information, describe the item you are not 
sure about. 

If  you  have  authorized  us  to  pay  your  credit  card  bill  automatically  from  your  GECU  checking 
account,  you  can  stop  the  payment  on  any  amount  you  think  is  wrong.  To  stop  the  payment, 
your letter must reach us three (3) business days before the automatic payment is scheduled to 
occur. 

Your Rights and Our Responsibilities After We Receive Your Written Notice.  
We must acknowledge your letter within 30 days, unless we have corrected the error by then. 
Within 90 days, we must either correct the error or explain  why  we believe the statement was 
correct. After we receive your letter, we cannot try to collect any amount you question or report 
you as delinquent. We can continue to bill you for the amount you question, including FINANCE 
CHARGES, and we can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. You do not have to 
pay  any  questioned  amount  while  we  are  investigating,  but  you  are  still  obligated  to  pay  the 
parts  of  your  statement  that  are  not  in  question.  If  we  find  that  we  made  a  mistake  on  your 
statement,  you  will  not  have  to  pay  any  FINANCE  CHARGES  related  to  any  questioned 
amount. If we didn’t make a mistake, you may have to pay FINANCE CHARGES and you will 
have to make up any missed payments on the questioned amount. In either case, we will send 
you a statement of the amount you owe and the date that it is due. If you fail to pay the amount 
that we think you owe, we may report you as delinquent. However, if our explanation does not 
satisfy you and you write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay, we must tell 
anyone we report you to that you have a question about your statement. And, we must tell you 
the name of anyone we reported you to. We must tell anyone we report you to that the matter 
has been settled between us when it finally is. 

If we don’t follow these rules, we can’t collect the first $50.00 of the questioned amount, even if 
your statement was correct. 

Special Rule for Credit Card Purchases.  
If you have a problem with the quality of property or services that you purchased with a 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  property  or  services.  There  are  two 
limitations on this right: (a) you must have made the purchase in your home state, or if not within 
your home state, within  100 miles of your current mailing address; and (b) the purchase price 
must  have  been  more  than  $50.00.  These  limitations  do  not  apply  if  we  own  or  operate  the 
merchant or mailed you the advertisement for the property or services.
