CARD AGREEMENT
This  Card Agreement  is  your  contract  with  us.  It  governs  the  use  of  your  card  and  account.  The  Supplemental  Pricing 
Information (“Supplement”) is part of this Agreement. Please read this Agreement, including the Supplement, carefully. Keep 
them for your records.

account means the relationship established between you and us by this Agreement.

A P R means an annual percentage rate.

authorized user means any person you allow to use your account.

Definitions

card means one or more cards or other access devices that we give you to get credit under this Agreement. This includes 
account numbers.

we, us, and our mean Citibank, N.A., the issuer of your account. Citibank, N.A. is located in Sioux Falls, SD.

you, your, and yours mean the person who applied to open the account. It also means any other person responsible for 
complying with this Agreement.

Your Account
You agree to use your account in accordance with this Agreement. You must pay us for all amounts due on your account. 
This Agreement is binding on you unless you close your account within 30 days after receiving the card and you have not 
used or authorized use of the card. Your account must only be used for lawful transactions.

Consumer Purpose Only. Your account must be used only for personal, family, or household purposes. You agree that you 
will not use your account for business or commercial purposes. However, you still must pay us for any use of the account 
for business or commercial purposes by you or authorized users. You must pay us whether or not that use benefited you.

Authorized Users. You may request additional cards for authorized users. You must pay us for any charges they make 
even  if  you  did  not  intend  to  be  responsible  for  those  charges.  You  agree  that  they  may  receive  information  about  the 
account, subject to any limitations we impose. You must tell us if you no longer want them to use your account.

Joint Accounts. If this is a joint account, each of you is responsible individually and together for all amounts owed. Each 
of you is responsible even if the account is used by only one of you. You will continue to be liable for the entire balance of 
the account, even if your co-applicant is ordered by a court to pay us. You will remain liable to us if your co-applicant fails to 
pay as ordered by the court. Your account status will continue to be reported to the credit bureau under each of your names. 
The delivery of notices or billing statements to either of you serves as delivery to each of you. We may rely on instructions 
given by either of you. We are not liable to either of you for relying upon such instructions.

Credit  Limit.  Your  initial  credit  limit  is  on  the  card  carrier. After  that,  your  credit  limit  appears  on  your  billing  statement. 
The full amount of your credit limit is available to use where the card is honored. Part of your credit limit is called the cash 
advance limit. It is available for cash advances. We may reduce or increase your credit limit or cash advance limit at any time 
for any reason as permitted by law. We will notify you of any change, but the change may take effect before you receive the 
notice. You should always keep your total balance below the credit limit. However, if the total balance goes over your credit 
limit you still must pay us. If your account has a credit balance, we may reduce the credit balance by any new charges on 
your account. You may not maintain a credit balance in excess of your credit limit.

Checks. We may provide you with convenience checks. You may use them to get a cash advance. Use of a convenience 
check will be a cash advance even if you use the check to make a payment to another creditor. You may not use convenience 
checks to pay an amount owed to us under this Agreement or to pay another account with us or an affiliate. We do not certify 
these checks or return any checks that have been paid.

Billing Statement. Your billing statement shows the New Balance. This is the total amount you owe us on the Statement Closing 
Date. To determine the New Balance, we begin with the total balance at the start of the billing cycle. We add any purchases or cash 
advances. We subtract any credits or payments. We then add any interest charges or fees and make other adjustments. 

Your billing statement also shows your transactions; the Minimum Payment Due and payment due date; your credit limit and 
cash advance limit; and your interest charges and fees. 

We deliver a billing statement to only one address. You must notify Customer Service of a change in address. We may stop 
sending you statements if we deem your account uncollectible or start collection proceedings; but we may continue to add 
interest and fees as permitted by law.

A P Rs
Variable A P Rs Based on Prime. If any A P R is based on the U.S. Prime Rate (“Prime Rate”), the A P R will equal the Prime Rate 
plus an additional amount. If the Prime Rate increases, it will cause the A P R to increase. If the Prime Rate decreases, it will cause 
the A P R to decrease. For each billing cycle we use the Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal two business days before 
the Statement Closing Date. If the Prime Rate causes an A P R to change, we put the new A P R into effect as of the first day of 
the billing cycle for which we calculate the A P R. We apply the new A P R to any existing balances, subject to any promotional rate 
that may apply. If The Wall Street Journal does not publish the Prime Rate, we will use a similar published rate.

Purchase A P R. See the Supplement. 

Cash Advance A P R. See the Supplement.

Effect of A P R Increases. If an A P R increases, interest charges increase. Your minimum payment may increase as well.

Promotions
We may offer promotional terms for all or a part of any balances. Any promotional terms may apply for a limited period of 
time. They will be governed by the terms of the promotional offer and this Agreement. Your promotional terms will end when 
the promotional period expires. 

If a promotional offer is a deferred interest offer, no interest charges will be imposed on the deferred interest balance if 
you pay the balance in full by the end of the promotional period for that deferred interest balance. We will impose interest 
charges on the deferred interest balance at the A P R for regular purchases from the date of purchase if you do not pay the 
balance in full by the end of the promotional period.

Interest Charges Based on A P Rs
Interest Charges. We impose interest charges when we apply A P Rs to your account balances. We do this every day by 
using a daily periodic rate. To get a daily periodic rate, we divide the A P R by 365.

When Interest Charges Begin. We begin to impose interest charges the first day we add a charge to a daily balance. The 
charges we add to a daily balance include purchases and cash advances. They also include interest charges and fees. We 
continue to impose interest charges until we credit your account with full payment of the total amount you owe us.

Grace Period on Purchases. You can avoid interest charges on purchases, but not on cash advances. This is called a 
grace period on purchases. The grace period is at least 25 days. To get a grace period on purchases, you must pay the New 
Balance by the payment due date every billing cycle. If you do not, you will not get a grace period until you pay the New 
Balance for two billing cycles in a row.

If you have a balance subject to a deferred interest or a 0% A P R promotion and that promotion does not expire before the 
payment due date, that balance (an “excluded balance”) is excluded from the amount you must pay in full to get a grace 
period on a purchase balance other than an excluded balance. However, you must still pay any separately required payment 
on the excluded balance. In billing cycles in which payments are allocated to deferred interest balances first, the deferred 
interest balance will be reduced before any other balance on the account. However, you will continue to get a grace period 
on purchases, other than an excluded balance, so long as you pay the New Balance (less any excluded balance, plus any 
separately required payment on an excluded balance) in full by the payment due date each billing cycle.

In addition, certain promotional offers may take away the grace period on purchases. Other promotional offers not described 
above may also allow you to have a grace period on purchases without having to pay all or a portion of the promotional 
balance by the payment due date. If either is the case, the promotional offer will describe what happens.

Calculation  of  Interest  Charges—Daily  Balance  Method  (Including  Current  Transactions).  We  calculate  interest 
charges each billing cycle. To do this:

•  We start with each of your different balances. These balances include, for example, regular purchases, regular cash 
advances, and different promotional balances. (When we calculate interest charges, we treat each deferred interest 
transaction separately even if it has the same terms as another deferred interest transaction.)

•  We calculate the daily balance for each of your different balances. To get a daily balance, we start with the balance 
as  of  the  end  of  the  previous  day.  We  add  any  interest  charge  on  the  previous  day’s  balance.  (This  results  in  daily 
compounding of interest charges.) We add any new charges. We then subtract any new credits or payments. 

•  We multiply each daily balance by the daily periodic rate that applies to it. We do this for each day in the billing cycle. 

This gives us the daily interest charges for each of your different balances. 

•  We add up all the daily interest charges. The sum is the total interest charge for the billing cycle.

•  You authorize us to round interest charges to the nearest cent.

When we calculate daily balances, we add a purchase or cash advance as of the Transaction Date. (The Transaction Date 
for a cash advance is the date we get a request to complete a transaction. When you send a convenience check directly 
to someone, the Transaction Date is the date we receive the check for payment. The Transaction Date is on the billing 
statement.) We add a transaction fee to the same balance as the transaction. We subtract a payment or credit as of the day 
it is credited to the account and then make other adjustments. We treat a credit balance as a balance of zero. 

Minimum Interest Charge. If we charge you interest, the charge will be no less than $2. We add the charge to the regular 
purchase balance or allocate it among one or more of the balances that accrues interest.

Balance Subject to Interest Rate. Your statement shows a Balance Subject to Interest Rate. It shows this for each different 
balance. The Balance Subject to Interest Rate is the average of the daily balances during the billing cycle. A billing cycle 
begins on the day after the Statement Closing Date of the previous billing cycle. It includes the Statement Closing Date of 
the current billing cycle.

Fees
Transaction  Fee  for  Cash Advances.  You  take  a  cash  advance  if  you  use  a  convenience  check;  get  money  through 
an automated teller machine (A T M); or get money through home banking or a financial institution. You also take a cash 
advance  if  you  make  a  wire  transfer;  buy  a  money  order,  traveler’s  check,  lottery  ticket,  casino  chip,  or  similar  item;  or 
engage in a similar transaction. For each cash advance we add a transaction fee of 5% of the amount of the cash advance, 
but not less than $10.

Late Fee. We may add a late fee for each billing cycle in which you have a past due payment. For late fee purposes, you 
have a past due payment any time you fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by the payment due date. The fee will be $29; 
or $40 for any additional past due payment during the next six billing cycles after a past due payment. However, the fee will 
not exceed the amount permitted by law. We add this fee to the regular purchase balance.

Information on Foreign Currency Conversion
If you take a cash advance in a foreign currency at a branch or A T M of one of our affiliates, an affiliate of ours may convert 
it  into  U.S.  dollars.  Our  affiliate  currently  uses  a  conversion  rate  in  effect  on  its  processing  date.  It  uses  a  government-
mandated rate if required to do so. If not, it uses a mid-point market rate. Our affiliate’s procedure may change from time 
to time without notice. If you take a cash advance in a foreign currency anywhere else, Mastercard will convert it into U.S. 
dollars.  Mastercard  follows  its  own  operating  regulations  or  procedures.  Mastercard  currently  uses  a  conversion  rate  in 
effect one day before its transaction processing date. It uses a government-mandated rate if required to do so. If not, it uses 
a wholesale market rate. The procedures may change from time to time without notice. The conversion rate you get is the 
one used on the transaction’s processing date. This may be different from the one in effect on the Transaction Date.

Payments
Making  Payments.  You  may  pay  all  or  part  of  your  account  balance  at  any  time.  However,  you  must  pay  at  least  the 
Minimum Payment Due by the payment due date each billing cycle. The sooner you pay the New Balance, the less you will 
pay in interest charges.

To calculate the Minimum Payment Due we begin with any past due amount. We then add any additional amount specified 
in a promotional offer. We also add the largest of the following:

•  The Calculated New Balance if it is less than $29;

•  $29 if the Calculated New Balance is at least $29; or

•  1% of the Calculated New Balance plus the amount of your billed interest charges on that balance, any minimum interest 
charge on the Calculated New Balance allocated to that balance, and any applicable late fee (the result is rounded up to 
the nearest dollar). However, we subtract interest charges that accrued during prior billing cycles on a deferred interest 
balance that ended during the billing cycle covered by the statement.

The Calculated New Balance equals the New Balance on the billing statement less any balances subject to either of two types 
of promotional terms. The first type are terms that do not require a minimum payment. The second type are terms that require 
an additional amount as part of the Minimum Payment Due. The Minimum Payment Due may reflect adjustments to the New 
Balance and is never more than the Calculated New Balance plus any additional amount required by a promotional offer.

Application of Payments. Payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due are applied in accordance with law. This 
means that we will generally apply payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due to higher A P R balances first. However, 
excess payments received before a deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional 
balance first in the last two billing cycles of the promotional period. And, if the expiration date of a deferred interest promotion 
is  before  the  payment  due  date  in  the  billing  cycle  in  which  the  deferred  interest  promotion  expires,  excess  payments 
received before the deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional balance first in the 
last three billing cycles of the promotional period. Payments equal to or less than the Minimum Payment Due and credits are 
applied at our discretion and you authorize us to apply payments and credits in a way that is most favorable or convenient 
for us. This may include applying such payments and credits to lower A P R balances first. 

Payment Instructions. We credit your payments in accordance with our payment instructions on the billing statement. You 
must pay us in U.S. dollars. To do so, you must use a check, similar instrument, or electronic debit that is drawn on and 
honored by a bank in the U.S. Do not send cash. We can accept late or partial payments, or payments that reflect “paid 
in full” or other restrictive endorsements, without losing our rights. We also reserve the right to accept payments made in 
foreign currency and instruments drawn on funds on deposit outside the U.S. If we do, we select the currency conversion 
rate. We will then credit your account in U.S. dollars after deducting any costs incurred in processing your payment. Or we 
may bill you separately for these costs.

Credit Reporting
We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on 
your account may be reflected in your credit report. We may report account information in your name and the names of 
authorized users. We may also obtain follow-up credit reports on you. 

If you think we reported incorrect information to a credit bureau, write us at the Customer Service address on the billing 

statement. We will investigate the matter. We will then tell you if we agree or disagree with you. If we agree with you, we 
will contact each credit bureau to which we reported and request a correction. If we disagree with you, we will tell you that.

Information Sharing
You authorize us to share information about you as permitted by law. This includes information we get from you and others. 
It also includes information about your transactions with us. Please see our Privacy Notice for details about our information 
sharing practices. 

Changes to this Agreement
We may change the rates, fees, and terms of this Agreement from time to time as permitted by law. The changes 
may add, replace, or remove provisions of this Agreement. We will give you advance written notice of the changes 
and a right to opt out to the extent required by law.

Default
You default under this Agreement if you fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by its due date; go over your credit limit; pay 
by a check or similar instrument that is not honored or that we must return because it cannot be processed; pay by electronic 
debit that is returned unpaid; file for bankruptcy; or fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement. If you default, we may 
close your account, and to the extent permitted by law, demand immediate payment of the total balance.

Refusal of the Card, Closed Accounts, and Related Provisions
Refusal of the Card. We do not guarantee approval of transactions. We are not liable for transactions that are not approved. 
That is true even if you have enough credit. We may limit the number of transactions approved in one day. If we detect 
unusual or suspicious activity, we may suspend your credit privileges.

Preauthorized Charges. We may suspend any automatic or other preauthorized card charges you arrange with a third 
party. We may do this if you default; if the card is lost or stolen; or we change your account for any reason. If we do this, 
you  are  responsible  for  paying  the  third  party  directly  if  you  wish  to  do  so.  You  are  also  responsible  for  reinstating  the 
preauthorized charges if you wish to do so and we permit it.

Lost or Stolen Cards, Account Numbers, or Convenience Checks. You must call us if any card, account number, or 
check is lost or stolen. You must also call us if you think someone used or may use them without permission. When you 
call, we may require you to provide information to help our investigation. We may require you to provide this information in 
writing. For example, we may ask you to identify any charges that were not made by you or someone authorized by you. We 
may also ask you to confirm that you received no benefit from those charges.

Closing Your Account. You may close your account by notifying us in writing or over the phone. If you close your account, 
you  must  still  repay  the  total  balance  in  accordance  with  this Agreement.  We  may  also  close  your  account  or  suspend 
account privileges at any time for any reason. We may do this without prior notice to you. We may also reissue a different 
card at any time. You must return any card to us upon request.

Protections For Active Duty Service Members and Their Dependents
Protections. Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating 
to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her 
dependent may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit 
transaction or account: The costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary products sold in connection 
with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions 
or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account). You are 
entitled to these protections if you are a Covered Borrower, as defined below. 

Covered Borrower. You are a Covered Borrower if, in connection with the opening of your account, we determine you are 
an active duty member of the Armed Forces (including active Guard and Reserve duty) or a dependent of an active duty 
member. You will cease to be a Covered Borrower if we determine you are no longer an active duty member of the Armed 
Forces (including active Guard and Reserve duty) or a dependent of an active duty member. 

Oral Disclosures. If you are a Covered Borrower, you may obtain information related to your account, including information 
about these protections and your payment obligation, by calling 1-877-625-6379. 

Arbitration.  The  section  of  the  Card  Agreement  entitled  “ARBITRATION”  does  not  apply  if  you  are  a  Covered 
Borrower at the time your account is opened.

PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.

ARBITRATION 

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 (F A A), 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 (“A A A”) according to this arbitration provision and 
the applicable A A A arbitration rules in effect when the claim is filed (“A A A Rules”), except where those rules conflict with 
this arbitration provision. You can obtain copies of the A A A Rules at the A A A’s website (w w w . a d r . 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 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 A A A forms and requisite filing fees to the A A A.

•  The  arbitration  shall  be  conducted  by  a  single  arbitrator  in  accord  with  this  arbitration  provision  and  the A A A  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 F A A 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 will 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 A A A 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 A A A 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 A A A Rules. An award by a panel 
on appeal is final. A final award is subject to judicial review as provided by applicable law.

Survival and Severability of Terms 
This arbitration provision shall survive changes in this Agreement and termination of the account or the relationship between 
you  and  us,  including  the  bankruptcy  of  any  party  and  any  sale  of  your  account,  or  amounts  owed  on  your  account,  to 
another person or entity. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the other terms shall 
remain in force, except that there can be no arbitration of a class or representative Claim. This arbitration provision may 
not be amended, severed or waived, except as provided in this Agreement or in a written agreement between you and us.

Rules for rejecting this arbitration provision
You  may  reject  this  arbitration  provision  by  sending  a  written  rejection  notice  to  us  at:  P.O.  Box  790340,  St.  Louis,  MO

Keep this Document for Future Use

This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.

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.

When we receive your letter, we must do two things:

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter

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 charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.

•  While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.

•  We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.

After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:

•  If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.

•  If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and 
fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as 
delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe.

If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must 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 Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good 
faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.

To use this right, all of the following must be true:

1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the 
purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on 
an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)

2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an A T M or with a 

check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.

3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at the 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.
