How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called “average daily balance (including new purchases).” See below 
for more details.
Loss of Introductory APR: We may end your introductory APR and apply the Penalty APR if you make a late payment.
Billing Rights: Information on your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise those rights is provided below.

COST OF CREDIT: You will pay an interest CHARGE for all advances made against your Account. Interest CHARGES for cash advances and balance 
transfers begin to accrue on the date of the advance. New purchases will not incur an interest 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.

Truth in Lending Disclosures

For cash advances, the daily periodic rate is 0.048630% (17.75% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for cash advances is 
non-variable. For purchases and balance transfers, the daily periodic rate is                     -  0.048630% (              - 17.75% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The 
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for purchases (including balance transfers) is variable and may increase. Unless an Introductory rate is in effect, the periodic 
rate used to compute the INTEREST CHARGE for purchases is based on an index (the “Index”), which is the Prime Rate as published in the Money Rates 
section of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the month and is subject to change monthly on the first day of each month. Any change in the 
Index will be effective on the first day of the billing cycle that ends on or after the date of the change.  An increase in the Index will result in an increase in the 
daily periodic rate, which in turn, may result in higher payments. We will add a margin of 3.99%, 5.99%, or 7.99% to the Index to determine the purchases 
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE or a maximum margin plus prime in order for the rate to equal 17.75%, based on certain credit worthiness criteria. The 
purchases ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is subject to change in the future based on changes in the Index. The daily periodic rate for purchases will never be 
greater than 0.048630% (17.75% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE set forth in this paragraph are referred to as the 
“Standard Rates.”

In addition to the variable-rate aspects of the Account for purchases, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for purchases is also based on certain credit 
worthiness criteria. After your Account has been open for at least one year, we may review your creditworthiness from time to time, including when you request a 
credit limit increase, and adjust your Standard Rate daily periodic rate and corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for purchases by notifying you in 
accordance with applicable law. If your Standard Rate ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for purchases is adjusted based on your credit worthiness, the 

margin used for calculating rate changes due to changes in the Index will be adjusted. Any ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE changes to your Account due to 
changes in your credit worthiness will only affect new purchase balances beginning on the effective date of the change; existing purchase balances will continue 
to be subject to the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE in effect before the date of the change until those balances are paid in full.

A portion of the INTEREST CHARGE is determined by applying the applicable daily periodic rate to the Average Daily Balance of your Account for each feature 
category, including certain current transactions. Feature categories include purchases, balance transfers, and cash advances. The Average Daily Balance is 
arrived at by taking the beginning balance of each feature category each day and adding any new transactions to the balance, except if you have paid your 
Account in full by the Payment Due Date shown on the previous monthly statement or there is no previous balance, new purchases are not added to the 
purchases balance. Balance transfers may be shown on your statement in the Promotions feature category. When determining balances, we may combine 
feature category balances that have the same periodic rate and other INTEREST CHARGE terms. We then subtract any payments or credits and unpaid 
INTEREST CHARGES allocated to the feature category balance for the day. This gives us the daily balance for the feature category. The daily balances for 
each feature category are then added together and divided by the number of days in the billing cycle. The result is the Average Daily Balance for each feature 
category. The periodic INTEREST CHARGE is determined by multiplying each feature category Average Daily Balance by the number of days in the billing cycle 
and applying the applicable daily periodic rate to the product. The total INTEREST CHARGE for each statement period is the sum of the periodic INTEREST 
CHARGES for each feature category plus any non-periodic INTEREST CHARGES.

lf at any time a required minimum payment is three or more billing cycles past due, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for all advances may be increased to a 
Penalty Rate daily periodic rate of 0.048630% (17.75% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). After the Penalty Rate becomes effective, it will apply both to current 
and new balances and it may remain in effect indefinitely. lf your minimum payments are made as required for six (6) consecutive months starting on or after the 
first payment due following the Penalty Rate effective date the Standard Rales for your Account will be restored. 

No additional Interest 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. The Payment Due Date is not less than 25 days from the billing cycle closing date shown on your statement.
