YOUR ACCOUNT
Your Account use is subject to this Agreement. You must pay us for 
all amounts due on your Account, including:
1.Transactions you make, even if you didn�t present your Card or sign
for the Transaction;
2.Transactions an Authorized User makes;
3.Transactions that other people make if you or an Authorized User let
them use your Account; and

Card. Even if you don�t use your Card, this Agreement will take effect 
unless you contact us to cancel your Account within 30 days after we 
sent you this Agreement.
Credit Limit. We assign a credit limit to your Account. Part of this credit 
limit may be available for Cash Advances, and there may be a limit on 
the amount of Cash Advances you can take in a given period. We 
may authorize Transactions that cause your balance to exceed your 
credit limit.
ACCOUNT USE
Consumer Purposes. You aren�t permitted to use your Account for 
business purposes. If you do use your Account for business purposes, 
this Agreement still applies, and you must pay us for those Transactions. 
You have to pay us for any damages and/or expenses resulting from that 
use. In addition, we may also close your Account.Citi Flex Plan. Your ability to create a Citi Flex Plan will depend on the 
amount of your available credit, creditworthiness, and other factors. We 
may limit the number of active Citi Flex Plans you can have and we may 
change this number at any time. There are two ways to create a Citi Flex 
Plan � Citi Flex Pay and Citi Flex Loan.
With Citi Flex Pay , you can pay for eligible Transactions under a Citi 
Flex Plan. An eligible Transaction for Citi Flex Pay must be a Purchase of 
at least a specified dollar amount and does not include a Purchase of 
cash or cash equivalent, a Purchase subject to Foreign Transaction Fees 
or any fee owed to us. Other exclusions may apply.
With Citi Flex Loan , you can use your Account�s credit line to access 
funds and pay such funds under a Citi Flex Plan. You can only create a 
Citi Flex Loan if you receive an offer. The offer will tell you the terms, 
including the APR, that will apply to that Citi Flex Loan.
Unlawful Transactions. You aren�t permitted to use your Account for 
unlawful Transactions. If you do use your Account for unlawful 
Transactions, this Agreement still applies and you must pay us for those 
Transactions. You also may have to pay the Card Network and/or us for 
any damages and expenses resulting from that use. In addition, we may 
close your Account.
Mobile Phone or Other Devices. Smart phones, tablets and other 
electronic devices can store your Card (such as through a mobile wallet). 
This means they can be used to make Purchases or other Transactions. 
Any such Transactions are covered by this Agreement. Apps that use 
your Card to make Transactions may have separate terms of use. We�re 
not responsible if you violate those terms, or for any consequences 
resulting from any violation.
Note: It�s important to protect your devices the same way you protect your Card. 
Anyone who can access your Card using your device also can make charges to your Account using that device.

ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES & INTEREST CHARGES
The following sections explain how we calculate the interest you 
owe each Billing Period.
APRs. We use APRs to calculate interest charges on your Account. 
Different APRs may apply to different Transactions. See the listing of your 
APRs on the Fact Sheet .
Variable APRs. A variable APR is an APR that can change each Billing 
Period. We calculate each variable APR first by taking the U.S. Prime 
Rate from The Wall Street Journal ( WSJ ) two Business Days before the 
last day of each Billing Period. (If the WSJ doesn�t publish the U.S. Prime 
Rate that day, then we�ll use another publication.) Then we add to the 
U.S. Prime Rate a certain percentage amount, which we call the Margin . 
You can find the Margin we use for your Account in the Details About 
Your Interest Rate section of the Fact Sheet . Your variable APRs will 
increase if the U.S. Prime Rate increases and decrease if the U.S. Prime 
Rate decreases. If a variable APR increases, then your interest charges 
and Minimum Payment Due may increase.How is a variable APR calculated?
If the U.S. Prime Rate published in the WSJ two Business Days 
before the end of a Billing Period is 5%; and 
If the Margin is 13.99% ; then 
Add the two together to calculate a variable APR:
5% + 13.99% = 18.99%
If the U.S. Prime Rate changes, we�ll apply the new variable APR starting 
from the first day of the Billing Period when we take the U.S. Prime Rate 
from the WSJ . The new APR will apply to existing balances, as well as 
balances added to your Account after the change.
Penalty APR. If you have a Late or a Returned Payment, we may apply 
a penalty APR to your Account. We determine your penalty APR based 
on your creditworthiness.

 Section 3 � ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES & INTEREST CHARGES (continued)
Daily Balance 
We calculate interest on your Account each Billing Period first by 
calculating your daily balances. The following explains how we do that.
Here�s how and when Transactions, fees and credits are applied to 
the balances on your Account:
�We add the amount of a Purchase or Balance Transfer to the
Purchase balance as of the post date on your statement.
�We add the amount of a Cash Advance to the Cash Advance balance
as of the post date on your statement.
�We add a Balance Transfer fee to the Purchase balance as of the post
date on your statement.
�We add the amount of any eligible Transaction under Citi Flex Pay or a
Citi Flex Loan to a Citi Flex Plan balance as of the post date on your
statement. If you moved an amount from another balance within your
Account to a Citi Flex Plan, we will credit the other balance in the
amount you added to a Citi Flex Plan in order to avoid double counting
that amount.
�We add a Cash Advance fee to the Cash Advance balance as of the
post date on your statement. We�ll add any other fees to the balance
of our choice. If you�re charged interest in a Billing Period, but the
amount calculated is less than $0.50, we�ll add additional interest to
the balance(s) of our choice so that you�ll be charged $0.50 in interest
for that Billing Period.
�We subtract credits and payments as of the post date shown on
your statement.
� Each balance may have a different APR. Certain categories of
Transactions in a balance may have multiple APRs. For example, you
may make a Purchase or Balance Transfer, or create a Citi Flex Plan,
that�s subject to a promotional APR. Your balances, and their
corresponding APRs, are shown on your statement.
Note: The post date shown on your statement will usually be the date
of the Transaction, but it may be later.
Here�s how we calculate each of the daily Purchase, Cash Advance 
and Citi Flex Plan balances on your Account:
�We start with the daily balance from the end of the previous day.
�We add any new Transactions, fees and other charges, including 
interest accrued on the previous day�s balance. This means that 
interest is compounded daily.
continued on next page
3�We subtract any credits or payments credited as of that day.
�We make additional adjustments as appropriate, subject to
applicable law (as an example, for a disputed charge). This gives us
the daily balance for that day.
Daily balance for purchases from the previous day 
+ New purchases
+ Fees and interest accrued on the previous day�s Purchase
balance 
� Payments, credits and adjustments posted that day
= New daily balance for Purchases
Interest Calculation. Each daily balance may have a different APR. 
Certain categories of Transactions in a daily balance may have multiple 
APRs. For example, you may make a Purchase or Balance Transfer 
that�s subject to a promotional APR. If a daily balance on your Account 
is subject to an APR, we�ll charge interest on that daily balance. We 
use the daily balance method (which includes new Transactions). If 
interest applies to a balance, it will start applying on the day a charge is 
added to that balance and continue until that balance is paid in full. We 
consider a credit balance as a balance of zero when calculating 
interest on that balance.
�We multiply each daily balance by its applicable daily periodic rates
(each applicable APR divided by 365).
�We do this for each day in the Billing Period. This gives us the daily
interest amounts.
� Then we total all the daily interest amounts for all the daily balances.
This gives us the total interest for the Billing Period.
Note: Your balances, and their corresponding APRs, are shown on 
your statement.
Calculating the New Balance. To calculate the New Balance at the 
end of each Billing Period, we begin with the total Account balance at 
the start of that Billing Period. Then we add any Transactions that are 
new to the Account during that Billing Period. Then we subtract any 
credits applied or payments made during that Billing Period. Then we 
add any interest charges or fees incurred during that Billing Period and 
make any other adjustments, as applicable (for example, if you have 
disputed a charge).
Grace Period on Purchases. You won�t pay any interest on 
Purchases if you pay the Adjusted New Balance, including any Balance 
Transfers, plus any Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount, in full by the 
payment due date shown on your statement each Billing Period. We 
call this a grace period on purchases. If you don�t pay your Adjusted 
New Balance in full, plus any Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount, by the 
payment due date in a Billing Period, you�ll pay interest on your 
Purchases from the date they�re posted to your Account. You also 
won�t have a grace period on Purchases again until you pay the 
Adjusted New Balance in full, plus any Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount, 
by the payment due date 2 Billing Periods in a row.
There�s no grace period on Balance Transfers and Cash Advances. 
This means you�ll pay interest on Balance Transfers and Cash 
Advances from the date these Transactions post to your Account.� Penalty APR for new Transactions (less than 60 days late).
If you make a Late Payment and it�s less than 60 days late or you
have a Returned Payment, the penalty APR only will apply to new
Transactions. We�ll review your Account from time to time, to
determine if any penalty APR should be reduced.
�Penalty APR for existing balances and new Transactions (60 or
more days late). If we haven�t received your Minimum Payment Due
within 60 days after its due date, we may apply the penalty APR to
both the existing balances and new Transactions. If you make your
next 6 consecutive Minimum Payments Due on time, we�ll stop
applying the penalty APR to existing balances and new Transactions.
If you don�t make your next 6 consecutive Minimum Payments Due on
time, the penalty APR may continue to apply indefinitely to existing
balances and new Transactions. 4Section 3 � ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES & INTEREST CHARGES (continued)
Important Information about Citi Flex Plans: We apply any 
amount you pay over your Minimum Payment Due first to the balance 
with the highest APR, then to the balance with the next highest APR, 
and so on, as described in Section 5, Application of Payments. This 
means that, if the APR for a Citi Flex Plan balance is higher than an 
APR that applies to another balance on your Account, we will apply 
the amount you pay above the Minimum Payment Due to that Citi 
Flex Plan balance prior to that other balance. This will cause you to 
pay off that Citi Flex Plan balance before the end of its repayment 
period and may result in an amount remaining due on your next 
billing statement for the other balance, increasing your Adjusted New 
Balance on your next billing statement.
You can see your balances and their corresponding APRs on your 
statement.
For example, in a sample Billing Period, an Account with no past 
due or Overlimit Amounts, has:
Citi Flex Plan: $5,000 with a repayment period of 24 months at 
16.99% APR
Citi Flex Plan statement balance in sample Billing Period: 
$4,090
Citi Flex Plan interest charge in sample Billing Period: $56.92
Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount per Billing Period: $248
and
Purchase balance: $5,000
Minimum Payment Due for Purchases: $75
(Calculations are approximate and for illustrative purposes only.)The New Balance for the Account: is $9,090 . The Adjusted New 
Balance is the New Balance ($9,090) less the Citi Flex Plan 
Balance ($4,090): $5,000 . Your Minimum Payment Due is $323 
($75 + $248). To retain your grace period on purchases, you must 
pay the Adjusted New Balance ($5,000) plus your Citi Flex Plan 
Payment Amount ($248): $5,248 .
If your Purchase APR is equal to or higher than your Citi Flex Plan 
APR and you make a payment to retain your grace period on 
purchases ($5,248), your Purchase balance will be reduced to $0. 
This means that, to retain your grace period on purchases in the 
next Billing Period, you will be required to pay $248 (your Citi Flex 
Plan Payment Amount), assuming you do not make any new 
Transactions.
Grace Period for Citi Flex Plan balances. When you create a Citi 
Flex Plan, you will be charged interest on the Citi Flex Plan balance 
from the start of the Billing Period following the Billing Period when 
you created the Citi Flex Plan. This means that you will not be 
charged interest on the Citi Flex Plan balance during the Billing 
Period in which you created the Citi Flex Plan. 4
FEES & FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERSION
FEES
Fee Amount About the Fee
Annual Membership Fee None There is no annual membership fee for this credit card. We will close your 
Account if you do not maintain a Costco membership.
Late Fee Up to $40 We   have the right to charge you a late fee if you don�t pay at least an amount 
equal to the Minimum Payment    Due  minus any Overlimit    Amount   by the 
payment due date. The late fee is $29 and, if you make another Late Payment 
within  the next 6 Billing Periods the late fee will be $40. The amount of your late  
fee  will never be higher than your Minimum Payment Due.
Returned Payment 
Fee Up to $40 We   have the right to charge you a Returned Payment fee of $29 if your bank 
doesn�t honor your payment. If that happens, we�ll resubmit the payment request. 
If your bank doesn�t honor another payment within 6 consecutive Billing Periods, 
the returned payment fee will go up to $40.
Either $5 or 5% of the amount of We  charge you a fee for each Balance Transfer. Transaction  Fee for 
Balance Transfers each transfer, whichever is greater.
Either $10 or 5% of the amount of each We   charge you a fee for each Cash Advance. Transaction   Fee for 
Cash Advances cash advance, whichever is greater.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERSION
Foreign Currency Conversion � Purchases. A Card Network converts the 
amount of a Purchase in a foreign currency into U.S. dollars. Each Card Network 
follows its own procedures for conversion. These procedures include how the 
Card Network chooses an exchange rate and when to do the conversion. For 
example, Visa chooses either a government-mandated exchange rate or 
chooses from a range of rates available on wholesale currency markets (and, 
in either case, the exchange rate that it chooses may be less favorable than 
the rate that Visa itself, receives when it makes foreign currency transactions). 
Depending on the policies of each Card Network, the exchange rate chosen 
may be the one in effect on the day the Card Network does the conversion, or 
on the day before. The exchange rate that a Card Network uses to convert the 
Purchase to U.S. dollars may differ from the rate in effect on the date you made 
the Purchase or on the post date for that Purchase shown on your statement. 
The Card Network�s procedures may change without notice. 
If a third party, such as a merchant, converts the amount of a Purchase into U.S. 
dollars before sending the Purchase to a Card Network, the third party chooses 
the conversion rate instead of the Card Network.Foreign Currency Conversion � Cash Advances. If you take a Cash 
Advance in a foreign currency at an ATM or branch of a financial 
institution, it may not be the Card Network in all instances that converts 
the Transaction into U.S. dollars. Instead, depending on where the 
Transaction takes place, another third party, such as a financial 
institution, ATM network or ATM operator, may do the conversion. We do 
not control this. However, if you use your Card for a Cash Advance at a 
Citibank ATM or branch, then we or our affiliates may do the conversion.
The party that converts a Cash Advance to U.S. dollars will choose the 
exchange rate and when to do the conversion. The exchange rate in 
effect on the date the Cash Advance is converted to U.S. dollars may 
differ from the rate in effect on the date you took the Cash Advance or 
the post date for that Transaction shown on your statement. The 
exchange rate may also differ from any rate quoted to you when you 
made the Transaction.
5 5
PAYMENTS 
Minimum Payment Due. You may pay all or a part of your Account 
balance at any time. You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by 
the payment due date each Billing Period.
Your �Minimum Payment Due� equals:
� Any amount past due; plus
� Any Overlimit Amount; plus
� Any Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount; plus
� The greater of:
1. The Adjusted New Balance, if it�s less than $35;
2. $35 if the Adjusted New Balance is at least $35;
3. 1% of the Adjusted New Balance (rounded to the nearest dollar),
plus any billed interest or minimum interest charge, plus any late
fee; or
4. 1.5% of the Adjusted New Balance (rounded to the nearest dollar).
The Minimum Payment Due is never more than the New Balance.
Note: Your payment due date is typically the same day of the month every 
month. You may request a change to your monthly due date.
How is the Minimum Payment Due calculated?
For example, in a sample Billing Period, an Account with no past due, 
Overlimit or Citi Flex Plan Payment amount has:
New Balance: $2,500 
Interest: $18.54
Since the New Balance is more than $35, and there are no past due or 
Overlimit amounts, the Minimum Payment Due will be the greater of:
1% of the New Balance 
( 1.0% x $2,500: $25.00) + interest ($18.54): $43.54 
or 
1.5% of the New Balance (1.5% x $2,500): $37.50
Since 1% of the New Balance plus interest ($43.54) is greater than 
1.5% of the New Balance ($37.50) the Minimum Payment Due is 
$43.54.
Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount. The Minimum Payment Due will include 
any amount due on a Citi Flex Plan balance each Billing Period (the �Citi 
Flex Plan Payment Amount� ). You must pay the Citi Flex Plan Payment 
Amount each Billing Period, calculated as described below, for so long as 
any balance remains in the Citi Flex Plan. The Citi Flex Plan Payment 
Amount will never be more than the amount of the Citi Flex Plan balance.
We determine the Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount for each Citi Flex Plan 
that you will pay in each Billing Period as follows:
� The Citi Flex Plan balance as of the date you create the Citi Flex Plan, plus
� The estimated interest charges for the Citi Flex Plan calculated on the
daily balance from the start of the next Billing Period following the
Billing Period in which you created the Citi Flex Plan through the end of
the Citi Flex Plan repayment period (assuming that you pay the
Minimum Payment Due on your Account each month on the due date),
the sum of which is divided by:� The number of months in the Citi Flex Plan repayment period.
�We then round the result up to the nearest dollar.
The formula we use for determining the amount described directly 
above is:
� The Citi Flex Plan balance, multiplied by
�(IPAPR / 12 ) / (1-(1 + IPAPR / 12 ) -N ), rounded up to the nearest
dollar. �IPAPR� equals the specific Citi Flex Plan APR applicable to the
Citi Flex Plan balance. �N� equals the number of months in the Citi Flex
Plan repayment period.
The actual interest charged on your Plan will be calculated as described 
in Section 3. Your first Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount will be due in the 
Billing Period following the Billing Period in which you created the Citi Flex 
Plan. If you do not pay your Minimum Payment Due in full by the due 
date, you may owe additional interest on your Citi Flex Plan balance. This 
will not increase the Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount for subsequent Billing 
Periods, but you may be required to make additional payments after the 
end of the Citi Flex Plan repayment period to pay your Citi Flex Plan 
balance (including any additional interest) in full.
If you have not paid your Minimum Payment Due for any three Billing 
Periods during the Citi Flex Plan, and the Minimum Payment Due for 
those three Billing Periods remains outstanding at the end of your current 
Billing Period, we may cancel any existing Citi Flex Plan from your 
Account, then add the balance of any canceled Citi Flex Plan to the 
Purchase balance, retaining the Citi Flex Plan APR that was in effect at 
time of cancellation. We may also do this if:
�You file for bankruptcy or some other insolvency
proceeding is filed by or against you.
�You don�t honor the terms of this Agreement.
�You�re declared incompetent or mentally incapacitated or in
the event of your death.
�You enter into a hardship assistance program.
If any of the above events occur, we will calculate the Minimum Payment 
Due as part of the Adjusted New Balance as described in Section 5 and 
you will no longer pay a monthly Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount. Any 
canceled Citi Flex Plan balance amount that was added to a Purchase 
balance will not be added back to a Citi Flex Plan balance, even if you 
pay your outstanding Minimum Payment Due in full. You will not be 
eligible to create another Citi Flex Plan until you pay your outstanding 
Minimum Payment Due in full, and then only if we offer you the 
opportunity to create another Citi Flex Plan.
Important Information about Citi Flex Plans and Promotional APRs: 
If your Citi Flex Plan APR is higher than any other APR, such as a 
promotional Balance Transfer APR, we will apply any payment you make 
above the Minimum Payment Due to that Citi Flex Plan balance prior to 
the lower APR balances. This means that if you want to pay off a 
balance with a lower promotional APR before the promotional period 
expires, you must first pay off all your other balances with higher 
APRs, including your Citi Flex Plan balance, before you can pay off 
that promotional balance.

6 7Section 5 � PAYMENTS (continued)
For example, in a sample Billing Period, an Account with no past due 
or Overlimit Amounts, has:
Citi Flex Plan: $5,000 with a repayment period of 24 months at 
16.99% APR
Citi Flex Plan statement balance in sample Billing Period: $4,090
Citi Flex Plan interest charge in sample Billing Period: $56.92
Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount per Billing Period: $248
And
Balance Transfer amount: $3,500
Balance Transfer promotional APR: 0.00% (increases to standard 
Purchase APR of 19.99% after the promotion period ends in the 
next Billing Period)
Minimum Payment Due for Balance Transfer amount: $53
(Calculations are approximate and for illustrative purposes only.)
The New Balance for the Account: is $7,590 . The Adjusted New 
Balance is the New Balance ($7,590) less the Citi Flex Plan Balance 
($4,090): $3,500 . Your Minimum Payment Due is $301 ($53 + $248).
You make a payment of $3,748 , which includes the Minimum Payment 
Due ($301) and an additional amount over your Minimum Payment 
Due ($3,447). Because the Citi Flex Plan APR is higher than the 
Balance Transfer APR, the amount of your payment over the Minimum 
Payment Due will be applied to your Citi Flex Plan balance before the 
Balance Transfer amount, leaving a Balance Transfer amount of 
$3,447. In the next Billing Period when the Balance Transfer 
promotional period ends, you will owe interest on this Balance 
Transfer amount at a 19.99% APR.Application of Payments. We decide how to apply your payment, up 
to the Minimum Payment Due, to the balances on your Account. We 
may apply the Minimum Payment Due first to interest charges, then to 
the balance with the lowest APR and then to balances with higher 
APRs. If you pay more than the Minimum Payment Due, we�ll apply the 
amount over the Minimum Payment Due first to the balance with the

11ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.
This section provides that disputes may be resolved by binding 
arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court, have a jury trial or 
initiate or participate in a class action. In arbitration, disputes are resolved 
by an arbitrator, not a judge or jury. Arbitration procedures are simpler and 
more limited than in court. This arbitration provision is governed by the 
Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), and shall be interpreted in the broadest way 
the law will allow.
Covered claims 
� You or we may arbitrate any claim, dispute or controversy between 
you and us arising out of or related to your Account, a previous related 
Account or our relationship (called �Claims�).
� If arbitration is chosen by any party, neither you nor we will 
have the right to litigate that Claim in court or have a jury trial 
on that Claim.
Except as stated below, all Claims are subject to arbitration, no matter 
what legal theory they�re based on or what remedy (damages, or 
injunctive or declaratory relief) they seek, including Claims based on 
contract, tort (including intentional tort), fraud, agency, your or our 
negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions, or any other sources of law; 
Claims made as counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, 
interpleaders or otherwise; Claims made regarding past, present or future 
conduct; and Claims made independently or with other claims. This also 
includes Claims made by or against anyone connected with us or you or 
claiming through us or you, or by someone making a claim through us or 
you, such as a co-applicant, Authorized User, employee, agent, 
representative or an affiliated/parent/subsidiary company.
Arbitration limits 
� Individual Claims filed in a small claims court are not subject to 
arbitration, as long as the matter stays in small claims court.
� We won�t initiate arbitration to collect a debt from you unless you 
choose to arbitrate or assert a Claim against us. If you assert a Claim 
against us, we can choose to arbitrate, including actions to collect a 
debt from you. You may arbitrate on an individual basis Claims brought 
against you, including Claims to collect a debt.
� Claims brought as part of a class action, private attorney general or 
other representative action can be arbitrated only on an individual 
basis. The arbitrator has no authority to arbitrate any claim on a class 
or representative basis and may award relief only on an individual 
basis. If arbitration is chosen by any party, neither you nor we may 
pursue a Claim as part of a class action or other representative action. 
Claims of 2 or more persons may not be combined in the same 
arbitration. However, applicants, co-applicants, Authorized Users on a 
single Account and/or related Accounts or corporate affiliates are here 
considered as one person.
How arbitration works 
� Arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association(�AAA�) according to this arbitration provision and the applicable AAA 
arbitration rules in effect when the claim is filed (�AAA Rules�), except 
where those rules conflict with this arbitration provision. You can obtain 
copies of the AAA Rules at the AAA�s website (www.adr.org) or by 
calling 800-778-7879. You or we may choose to have a hearing, appear 
at any hearing by phone or other electronic means, and/or be 
represented by counsel. Any in-person hearing will be held in the same 
city as the U.S. District Court closest to your billing address.
� Arbitration may be requested at any time, even where there is a 
pending lawsuit, unless a trial has begun or a final judgment entered. 
Neither you nor we waive the right to arbitrate by filing or serving a 
complaint, answer, counterclaim, motion or discovery in a court lawsuit. 
To choose arbitration, a party may file a motion to compel arbitration in 
a pending matter and/or commence arbitration by submitting the 
required AAA forms and requisite filing fees to the AAA.
� The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accord with 
this arbitration provision and the AAA Rules, which may limit discovery. 
The arbitrator shall not apply any federal or state rules of civil 
procedure for discovery, but the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege 
recognized at law and shall take reasonable steps to protect Account 
information and other confidential information of either party if 
requested to do so. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive 
law consistent with the FAA and applicable statute of limitations, and 
may award damages or other relief under applicable law.
� The arbitrator shall make any award in writing and, if requested by you 
or us, may provide a brief statement of the reasons for the award. 
An arbitration award shall decide the rights and obligations only of 
the parties named in the arbitration, and shall not have any bearing on 
any other person or dispute.
Paying for arbitration fees 
� We�ll pay your share of the arbitration fee for an arbitration of Claims 
of $75,000 or less if they are unrelated to debt collection. Otherwise, 
arbitration fees will be allocated according to the applicable AAA Rules. 
If we prevail, we may not recover our arbitration fees, unless the 
arbitrator decides your Claim was frivolous. All parties are responsible 
for their own attorney�s fees, expert fees and any other expenses, 
unless the arbitrator awards such fees or expenses to you or us based 
on applicable law.
The final award 
� Any award by an arbitrator is final unless a party appeals it in writing to 
the AAA within 30 days of notice of the award. The arbitration appeal 
shall be determined by a panel of 3 arbitrators. The panel will consider 
all facts and legal issues anew based on the same evidence presented 
in the prior arbitration, and will make decisions based on a majority 
vote. Arbitration fees for the arbitration appeal shall be allocated 
according to the applicable AAA Rules. An award by a panel on appeal 
is final. A final award is subject to judicial review as provided by 
applicable law. 12AGREEMENT & BENEFIT CHANGES

reason and at any time, subject to applicable law. This means that 
we can change rates and fees that apply to your Account. It also

This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities 
under the Fair Credit Billing Act. Keep this document for future use.
What to Do if You Find a Mistake on Your Statement
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at the 
address for billing inquiries and correspondence shown on the front of 
your 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 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. 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 2 things:
1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we 
received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected 
the error.
2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error 
or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
� We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as 
delinquent on that amount.
� The transaction in question may remain on your statement, and we 
may continue to charge you interest on that amount.
� While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are 
responsible for the remainder of your balance.
We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
� If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question 
or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
� If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the 
amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will 
send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is 
due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the 
amount we think you owe.If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must 
write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do 
so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you 
are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom 
we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations 
know when the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first 
$50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights if You�re 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 is 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 an Account check 
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 for billing inquiries and 
correspondence shown on the front of your 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.
For Further Information: Call the Customer Service number shown on 
the statement or on the back of your Card if you need more information.
