How we calculate interest: We use the Average Daily Balance method (including new transactions). See the How we

calculate interest section in Part 2.

Explanation of Variable Rates: If the Prime Rate increases, variable APRs (and corresponding DPRs) will increase. In
that case, you may pay more interest and may have a higher Minimum Payment Due. When the Prime Rate changes, the
resulting changes to variable APRs take effect as of the first day of the billing period. The Daily Periodic Rate (DPR) is
1/365th of the APR, rounded to the nearest one ten-thousandth of a percentage point.

Penalty APR for new
transactions

The penalty APR applies to new transactions if:

● you do not pay at least the Minimum Payment
Due by the Closing Date of the billing period
in which it is due,

● you do not pay at least the Minimum Payment
Due by the Payment Due Date 2 times in 12
billing periods, or

● your payment is returned by your bank.

If the penalty APR applies to a balance, it will
apply to charges added to that balance 15 or
more days after we send you notice.
We will review your Account every 6 months after
the penalty APR is applied. The penalty APR
will continue to apply until you have made timely
payments with no returned payments during the 6
months being reviewed.

Penalty APR for existing
balances

If you do not pay at least the Minimum Payment Due within 60 days after its Payment Due Date, we
can apply the penalty APR to those balances it does not already apply to. After you pay on time for 6
billing periods in a row, the penalty APR will no longer apply to those balances (but it may still apply to
other balances as described above).

The Reward Dollars Summary

You will earn Blue Cash Reward DollarsSM
(reward dollars) for eligible purchases on your
Blue Cash Preferred Card Account. The number
of reward dollars you will earn each billing period
is based on a percentage of the dollar amount of
your eligible purchases during the billing period.

You will earn a reward of:
● 6% on the first $6,000 of eligible purchases
at U.S. stand-alone supermarkets in each
calendar year (excluding superstores and
warehouse clubs),

● 3% on eligible purchases of gasoline at U.S.

stand-alone gasoline stations,

● 3% on eligible purchases at the following
select major department stores: Bealls,
Belk®, Bloomingdale's, Bon Ton Stores Inc.,
Boscov's Department Store, Century 21®
Department Stores, Dillard’s Department
Stores, J.C. Penney Company, Inc., Kohl's®,
Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Neiman Marcus,
Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sears®
Merchandise Group, and Stein Mart®, and

● 1% on all other eligible purchases.
Eligible purchases are purchases for goods and
services minus returns and other credits.

Eligible purchases do NOT include:
● fees or interest charges,
● balance transfers,
● cash advances,
● purchases of traveler's checks,
● purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, or
● purchases of any cash equivalents.
You will not earn reward dollars for eligible
purchases posted to your Card Account during
a billing period if the Minimum Payment Due
shown  on the statement for that billing period is
not paid by the Closing Date of the next billing
period.

Merchants are typically assigned codes and
categorized based on what they sell. Eligible
purchases will receive only a 1% reward if
the merchant code is not in a bonus category.
Eligible purchases will receive only a 1% reward
if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card
reader or if the purchase is made with an
electronic wallet or through a third party.  In
addition, eligible purchases will receive only a
1% reward if the purchase is not made directly
from the provider of the goods or services. A
merchant with more than one location may
submit purchases using different codes. This
means that purchases at some locations would
earn a higher reward, while purchases at other
locations of the same merchant would earn a
lower or no reward.

Reward dollars accrued during a billing period
will be added to your reward dollars balance at
the end the billing period following the one in
which you earned them.

Credits for eligible purchases will reduce the
number of reward dollars you earn.

You can redeem reward dollars for statement
credits in increments of 25 whenever your total
available reward dollar balance is 25 or more.

Redemption will be in the form of a  statement
credit of $1 for every reward dollar redeemed.
The credit cannot be more than the amount of
the outstanding balance on your Card Account.

From time to time we may at our option offer
you other ways to redeem reward dollars, such
as for gift cards or merchandise. The  minimum
redemption is 25 reward dollars.

You cannot redeem reward dollars if your  Card
Account is past due or you have a returned
payment outstanding.

You will forfeit your entire reward dollar balance if your Card Account is cancelled for any reason.

The reward dollars shown on your billing
statement under the heading Reward Dollars
Summary is only for informational purposes. It
does not show the actual reward dollars that
you may be entitled to receive. For example, a
credit for eligible purchases posted to your Card
Account can lower the reward dollars shown.

Also, if a credit to your Card Account places
your eligible purchases in a negative status,
the Reward Dollars Summary on your billing
statement will show a zero balance. It will
continue to show a zero balance until you
accumulate eligible purchases exceeding the
negative eligible purchases.

the Agreement

About using your card

Using the card

This document together with Part 1 make up the
Cardmember Agreement (Agreement) for the Account
identified on page 1 of Part 1. Any supplements or

amendments are also part of the Agreement. When
you use the Account (or you sign or keep the card),
you agree to the terms of the Agreement.

We may change this Agreement, subject to applicable
law. We may do this in response to the business, legal or
competitive environment.

We cannot increase the interest rate on existing balances
except in limited circumstances.

We, us, and our mean the issuer shown on page 1 of
Part 1. You and your mean the person who applied for
this Account and for whom we opened the Account. You
and your also mean anyone who agrees to pay for this
Account. You are the Basic Cardmember. You may
request a card for an Additional Cardmember (see
About Additional Cardmembers on page 4 of Part 2).

Card means any card or other device that we issue to
access your Account. A charge is any amount added to

Changes to some terms may require 45 days advance
notice, and we will tell you in the notice if you have
the right to reject a change. We cannot change certain
terms during the first year of your Cardmembership.

your Account, such as purchases, cash advances,
balance transfers, fees and interest charges. A
purchase is a charge for goods or services. A cash
advance is a charge to get cash or cash equivalents.
A balance transfer is a charge to pay an amount you
owe on another credit card account.

To pay by a certain date means to send your payment
so that we receive it and credit it to your Account by
that date (see About your payments on page 2 of Part
2).

You may use the card to make purchases. At our
discretion, we may permit you to make cash advances or
balance transfers. You cannot transfer balances from any
other account issued by us or our affiliates.

You may arrange for certain merchants to charge your
Account at regular intervals. We may (but are not required
to) tell these merchants about your Account status or

changes to your card number or expiration date. You
must notify the merchants directly if you want them to
stop charging your Account.

Keep your card safe and don't let anyone else use it.
If your card is lost or stolen or your Account is being
used without your permission, contact us right away.
You may not use your Account for illegal activities.

Promise to pay

You promise to pay all charges, including:

Credit limit and cash
advance limit

Declined transactions

● charges you make, even if you do not present your card or sign for the transaction,
● charges that other people make if you let them use your Account, and
● charges that Additional Cardmembers make or permit others to make.

We assign a Credit Limit to your Account. We may make
part of your Credit Limit available for cash advances
(Cash Advance Limit). There may also be a limit on the
amount you can withdraw from ATMs in a given period.
The Credit Limit and Cash Advance Limit are shown on
page 1 of Part 1 and on each billing statement.

We may increase or reduce your Credit Limit and Cash
Advance Limit. We may do so even if you pay on time and
your Account is not in default.

● your Account balance (including fees and interest)

is not more than your Credit Limit, and

● your cash advance balance (including fees and
interest) is not more than your Cash Advance
Limit.

We may approve charges that cause your Account
balance to go over your Credit Limit. If we do this,
we will not charge an overlimit fee. If we ask you to
promptly pay the amount of your Account balance
above your Credit Limit, you agree to do so.

You agree to manage your Account so that:

We may decline to authorize a charge. Reasons we may
do this include suspected fraud and our assessment of
your creditworthiness. This may occur even if the charge
would not cause you to go over your Credit Limit

and your Account is not in default. We are not
responsible for any losses you incur if we do not
authorize a charge. And we are not responsible if any
merchant refuses to accept the card.

About your payments

When you must pay

You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by
the Payment Due Date. The Minimum Payment Due
and Payment Due Date are shown on each billing
statement.

Each statement also states the time and manner
by which you must make your payment for it to be
credited as of the same day it is received. For your
payment to be considered on time, we must receive

at least the Minimum Payment Due in such time and
manner by the Payment Due Date shown on your
billing statement.

Each statement also shows a Closing Date. The
Closing Date is the last day of the billing period
covered by the statement. Each Closing Date is about
30 days after the previous statement's Closing Date.

How to make payments

Make payments to us in U.S. dollars with:

● a single check drawn on a U.S. bank, or
● a single negotiable instrument clearable through
the U.S. banking system, for example a money
order, or

● an electronic payment that can be cleared through

the U.S. banking system.

When making a payment by mail:
● make a separate payment for each account,
● mail your payment to the address shown on the
payment coupon on your billing statement, and

● write your Account number on your check or

negotiable instrument and include the payment
coupon.

If your payment meets the above requirements, we
will credit it to your Account as of the day we receive
it, as long as we receive it by the time disclosed in
your billing statement.

Your Account may have balances with different
interest rates. For example, purchases may have
a lower interest rate than cash advances. If your
Account has balances with different interest rates,
here is how we generally apply payments in a billing
period:

● We apply your payments, up to the Minimum

Payment Due, first to the balance with the lowest
interest rate, and then to balances with higher
interest rates.

How we apply payments and
credits

About your Minimum Payment Due

How we calculate your
Minimum Payment Due

To calculate the Minimum Payment Due for each
statement, we start with the higher of:
(1) interest charged on the statement plus 1% of the
New Balance (excluding any overlimit amount,
penalty fees and interest on the statement); or

(2) $35.

Then we add any penalty fees shown on the
statement and 1/24th of any overlimit amount, round
to the nearest dollar, and add any amount past due.

Your Minimum Payment Due may also include any
additional amount specified in a promotional offer.
Your Minimum Payment Due will not exceed your
New Balance. You may pay more than the Minimum
Payment Due, up to your New Balance, at any time.

If we receive it after that time, we will credit the
payment on the day after we receive it.

If your payment does not meet the above
requirements, there may be a delay in crediting your
Account. This may result in late fees and additional
interest charges (see How Rates and Fees Work on
page 2 of Part 1).

If we decide to accept a payment made in a foreign
currency, we will choose a rate to convert your
payment into U.S. dollars, unless the law requires us
to use a particular rate.

If we process a late payment, a partial payment, or a
payment marked with any restrictive language, that
will have no effect on our rights and will not change
this Agreement.

● After the Minimum Payment Due has been paid,
we apply your payments to the balance with the
highest interest rate, and then to balances with
lower interest rates.

In most cases, we apply a credit to the same balance
as the related charge. For example, we apply a credit
for a purchase to the purchase balance. We may
apply payments and credits within balances, and
among balances with the same interest rate, in any
order we choose.

EXAMPLE: Assume that your New Balance is
$3,000, interest is $29.57, and you have no overlimit
amount, penalty fees, or amounts past due.

(1)$29.57 + 1% x ($3,000 - $29.57) = $59.27
(2) $35

The higher of (1) or (2) is $59.27, which rounds to
$59.00.

About interest charges

When we charge interest

How we calculate interest

Determining the Prime Rate

We charge interest beginning on the date of each transaction. You can avoid paying interest on purchases as
described below. However, you cannot avoid paying interest on cash advances and balance transfers.

If you pay the New Balance on every statement by
the Payment Due Date, we will not charge interest on
purchases.

If you pay the New Balance on a statement by the
Payment Due Date and then you pay less than the
New Balance on the following statement by the
Payment Due Date, we will not charge interest on the
portion of the purchase balance that we apply that
payment to. But we will charge interest on unpaid
purchases.

If you do not pay the New Balance on a statement by
the Payment Due Date and then:

● you pay the New Balance on the next statement by
the Payment Due Date, we will not charge interest
on purchases from the date of your payment to
the Closing Date of the billing period in which you
made that payment. But we will charge interest on
purchases from the beginning of that billing period
until the date of your payment.

● you pay the New Balance on each of the next two
statements by their Payment Due Dates, we will
not charge interest on purchases on the following
statement.

Also, we will not charge interest on purchases on a
statement if the Previous Balance on that statement is
zero or a credit balance.

We calculate interest for a billing period by first figuring the interest on each balance. Different categories of
transactions such as purchases and cash advances-may have different interest rates. Balances within each
category may also have different interest rates.

We use the Average Daily Balance method
(including new transactions) to figure interest
charges for each balance. The total interest charged
for a billing period is the sum of the interest charged
on each balance.

Interest

The interest charged for a balance in a billing period,
except for variations caused by rounding, equals:
● Average Daily Balance (ADB) x
● Daily Periodic Rate (DPR) x
● number of days the DPR was in effect.
ADB

To get the ADB for a balance, we add up its daily
balances. Then we divide the result by the number
of days the DPR for that balance was in effect. If the
daily balance is negative, we treat it as zero.
DPR

A DPR is 1/365th of an APR, rounded to one
tenthousandth of a percentage point. Your DPRs are
shown in How Rates and Fees Work on page 2 of
Part 1.

EXAMPLE: Calculating Interest

Assume that you have a single interest rate of
15.99%, your ADB is $2,250 and there are 30 days in
the billing period.

The DPR is 15.99% 

365 days = 0.0438%

The Interest is $2,250 x 0.0438% x 30 days = $29.57

We use the Prime Rate from the Money Rates section
(or successor section) of The Wall Street Journal. The
Prime Rate for each billing period is the Prime Rate
published in The Wall Street Journal 2 days before
the Closing Date of the billing period.

The Wall Street Journal may not publish the Prime
Rate on that day. If it does not, we will use the Prime
Rate from the previous day it was published. If The
Wall Street Journal is no longer published, we may
use the Prime Rate from any other newspaper of

Daily Balance
For each day a DPR is in effect, we figure the daily
balance by:
● taking the beginning balance for the day,
● adding any new charges,
● subtracting any payments or credits; and
● making any appropriate adjustments.

We add a new charge to a daily balance as of its
transaction date.
Beginning balance
For the first day of a billing period, the beginning
balance is the ending balance for the prior billing
period, including unpaid interest. For the rest of the
billing period, the beginning balance is the previous
day's daily balance plus an amount of interest equal
to the previous day's daily balance multiplied by the
DPR for that balance. This method of figuring the
beginning balance results in daily compounding of
interest.

When an interest rate changes, the new DPR may
come into effect during-not just at the beginning of-
the billing period. When this happens, we will create
a new balance and apply the new DPR to it. To get
the beginning balance on the first day for this new
balance, we multiply the previous day's daily balance
by the old DPR and add the result to that day's daily
balance.
Other methods
To figure the ADB and interest charges, we may use
other formulas or methods that produce equivalent
results. Also, we may choose not to charge interest on
certain types of charges.

general  circulation in New York, New York. Or we
may choose to use a similar published rate.

If the Prime Rate increases, variable APRs (and
corresponding DPRs) will increase. In that case,
you may pay more interest and may have a higher
Minimum Payment Due. When the Prime Rate
changes, the resulting changes to variable APRs take
effect as of the first day of the billing period.

transaction. This fee is 3% of the transaction, with a
minimum of $5. This fee is a finance charge. We will

add the fee to the same balance that we add the
convenience check transaction to.

We will charge $29 each time you ask us to stop
payment on a convenience check.

A convenience check is not a card. You may not use
convenience checks to pay this or any other account
with us or our affiliates. If you use a convenience
check, we will apply the:

● cash advance APR if you make it payable to cash,
to you, or to a bank, brokerage or similar asset
account, or to a mortgage or insurance provider.

● purchase APR if you make it payable to a

merchant.

● balance transfer APR if you use it to transfer a

balance from another creditor.

● penalty APR if it applies to your Account.

We have the right to add, modify or delete any benefit, service, or feature of your Account at our discretion.

We may sell, transfer or assign this Agreement and your Account. We may do so at any time without notifying
you. You may not sell, assign or transfer your Account or any of your obligations under this Agreement.

If you dispute a charge with a merchant, we may credit the Account for all or part of the disputed charge. If
we do so, you assign and transfer to us all rights and claims (excluding tort claims) against the merchant. You
agree that you will not pursue any claim against the merchant for the credited amount. And you must cooperate
with us if we decide to do so.

We do not waive our rights

We may choose to delay enforcing or to not exercise rights under this Agreement. If we do this, we do not waive
our rights to exercise or enforce them on any other occasion.

Governing law

Utah law and federal law govern this Agreement and your Account. They govern without regard to internal
principles of conflicts of law. We are located in Utah. We hold your Account in Utah. We entered into this
Agreement with you in Utah.

In addition, if your billing address is in the State of Maryland, to the extent, if any, that Maryland law applies to
your account, we elect to offer your card account pursuant to Title 12, Subtitle 9 of the Maryland Commercial
Law Article.

Arbitration

This Arbitration provision sets forth the
circumstances and procedures under which claims
may be arbitrated instead of litigated in court.
Definitions
As used in this Arbitration provision, the term claim
means any claim, dispute or controversy between
you and us arising from or relating to your
Account, this Agreement, the Electronic Funds
Transfer Services Agreement, and any other
related or prior agreement that you may have had
with us, or the relationships resulting from any
of the above agreements, except for the validity,
enforceability or scope of this Arbitration provision.
For purposes of this Arbitration provision, you
and us also includes any corporate parent, or
wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates,
any licensees, predecessors, successors, assigns,
any purchaser of any accounts, all agents,
employees, directors and representatives of any
of the foregoing, and other persons referred to
below in the definition of claims. Claim includes
claims of every kind and nature, including but not
limited to, initial claims, counterclaims, crossclaims
and third-party claims and claims based upon
contract, tort, fraud and other intentional, torts,
statutes, regulations, common law and equity.
Claim also includes claims by or against any third
party using or providing any product, service or
benefit in connection with any account (including,
but not limited to, credit bureaus, third parties who
accept the card, third parties who use, provide or
participate in fee-based or free benefit programs,
enrollment services and rewards programs,
credit insurance companies, debt collectors
and all of their agents, employees, directors
and representatives) if and only if, such third
party is a party in connection with the claim. The
term claim is to be given the broadest possible
meaning that will be enforced and includes, by
way of example and without limitation, any claim,
dispute or controversy that arises from or relates
to (a) any of the accounts created under any of
the agreements, or any balances on any such
accounts, (b) advertisements, promotions or
oral or written statements related to any such
accounts, goods or services financed under any
of the accounts or the terms of financing, (c) the
benefits and services related to Cardmembership
(including fee-based or free benefit programs,
enrollment services and rewards programs), and
(d) your application for any account. We shall
not elect to use arbitration under this Arbitration
provision for any claim that you properly file and
pursue in a small claims court of your state or
municipality so long as the claim is individual and
pending only in that court.
Initiation of Arbitration
Any claim shall be resolved, upon the election
by you or us, by arbitration pursuant to this
Arbitration provision and the code of procedures
of the arbitration organization to which the claim
is referred in effect at the time the claim is filed
(code), except to the extent the code conflicts with
this Agreement. Claims shall be referred to either
JAMS or the American Arbitration Association
(AAA), as selected by the party electing to use
arbitration. If our selection of either of these

organizations is unacceptable to you, you may
select the other organization within 30 days
after you receive notice of our selection. For
a copy of the code, to file a claim or for other
information, contact either JAMS (1920 Main
St #300, Irvine, CA 92614 or jamsadr.com) or
AAA (335 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10017
or adr.org).
In addition to the organizations listed above,
claims may be referred to any other arbitration
organization that is mutually agreed upon
in writing by you and us, or to an arbitration
organization or arbitrator(s) appointed pursuant
to § 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
§§ 1-16, as it may be amended (FAA), provided
that any such organization and arbitrator(s)
will enforce the terms of the Restrictions on
Arbitration subsection set forth below.
Significance of Arbitration
IF ARBITRATION IS CHOSEN BY ANY PARTY
WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM, NEITHER
YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO
LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE
A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM. FURTHER,
YOU AND WE WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT
TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE
CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY
CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO
ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE
ARBITRATOR'S DECISION WILL BE FINAL
AND BINDING. NOTE THAT OTHER RIGHTS
THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IF YOU
WENT TO COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE
AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
Restrictions on Arbitration
IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO RESOLVE
A CLAIM BY ARBITRATION, THAT CLAIM
SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL
BASIS. THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT
OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO
BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS ACTION
BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING
CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF
OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OTHER
CARDMEMBERS OR OTHER PERSONS
SIMILARLY SITUATED. The arbitrator's
authority to resolve claims is limited to claims
between you and us alone, and the arbitrator's
authority to make awards is limited to awards to
you and us alone. Furthermore, claims brought
by you against us, or by us against you, may
not be joined or consolidated in arbitration
with claims brought by or against someone
other than you, unless agreed to in writing by
all parties. No arbitration award or decision
will have any preclusive effect as to issues or
claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a
named party to the arbitration. Not withstanding
any other provision of this Agreement (including
but not limited to the Continuation subsection
below) and without waiving either party's right
to appeal such decision, should any portion
of this Restrictions on Arbitration subsection
be deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the
entire Arbitration provision (other than this
sentence) shall not apply.

Arbitration Procedures
This Arbitration provision is made pursuant to
transactions involving interstate commerce and
shall be governed by the FAA. The arbitration
shall be governed by the applicable code,
except that this Agreement shall apply if there
are any conflicts. The arbitrator shall apply
applicable substantive law consistent with the
FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, shall
honor claims of privilege recognized at law,
and, at the timely request of either party, shall
provide a brief written explanation of the basis
for the decision. The arbitration proceeding
shall not be governed by any federal or state
rules of civil procedure or rules of evidence.
Any party may request that the arbitrator
expand the scope of discovery by doing so in
writing and copying any other parties, who shall
have 15 days to make objections. The arbitrator
will notify the parties of his/her decision within
20 days of any objecting party's submission.
The arbitrator shall take reasonable steps to
preserve privacy. The arbitrator's award shall
be final and binding, except for any right of
appeal provided by the FAA; however, either
party shall have 30 days to appeal that decision
by notifying the arbitration organization and
any other parties in writing. The organization
will then appoint a three-arbitrator panel which
shall consider anew any aspect of the decision
objected to by the appealing party. The panel
shall issue its decision, by majority vote, within
120 days of the appealing party's written notice.
Judgment upon any award rendered by the
arbitrator or panel may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction.
Location of Arbitration
Arbitration hearings you attend shall take place
in the federal judicial district of your residence.
Payment of Fees
You will be responsible for paying your share,
if any, of the arbitration fees (including filing,
administrative, hearing and/or other fees),
but only up to the amount of the filing fees
you would have incurred if you had brought
a claim in the state or federal court closest
to your billing address that would have had
jurisdiction. We will be responsible for any
additional arbitration fees. At your written
request, we will consider in good faith making a
temporary advance of all or part of your share
of any arbitration fees. You will not be assessed
any arbitration fees in excess of your share if
you do not prevail in any arbitration with us.
Continuation
This Arbitration provision shall survive
termination of your Account; voluntary payment
of the Account balance in full by you; any legal
proceeding by you or us to collect a debt owed
by the other; any bankruptcy by you or us; and
any sale by us of your Account (in the case
of a sale, its terms shall apply to the buyer of
your Account). If any portion of this Arbitration
provision, except as otherwise provided in
the Restrictions on Arbitration subsection,
is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall
not invalidate the remaining portions of this
provision.
