To be eligible for and to maintain an Account, you must:

•

•

have an Apple ID associated with an iCloud account that is in good standing with Apple, as well as a valid email address associated 
with your Apple ID; and
have Apple's two-factor authentication turned on for your Apple ID that is associated with your iCloud account.

USING YOUR ACCOUNT
You may use your Account to make Transactions. You may not use or permit your Account to be used for:

•

•
•

•

Any illegal purpose, including in connection with unlawful domestic or international gambling websites or to purchase illegal goods 
or services;
Cash Advances and Cash Equivalents;
Any purpose in any country or territory that is subject to economic sanctions administered and enforced by the U.S. Department of 
the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), or with any person or entity subject to these sanctions; or
Paying any debts to us.

If your Account is used for any Transaction not permitted by this Agreement, we will treat these Transactions as Purchase Transactions for 
purposes of applying interest, and you are responsible for these Transactions and any related interest or Daily Cash Adjustments.

YOUR CREDIT LIMIT
We may increase or decrease your credit limit at any time, subject to applicable law.

We may authorize Transactions that, together with previously authorized Transactions, interest and other amounts billed to you, cause 
your outstanding balance to exceed your credit limit. If we do, you will be responsible for paying that amount.

USING YOUR ELIGIBLE DEVICES & CARDS
At the time your Account is created, a digital Card will automatically be added to your Apple Wallet on the Required Device that you used 
to apply for an Account. You can use Cards to make Transactions on your Account. You can add a Card to your Eligible Devices, but you 
must maintain a Required Device with a digital Card to manage your Account electronically. Without a Required Device, you will only be 
able to manage your Account by contacting us by phone or mail, and your Monthly Statement will only be sent to you by email or mail. If 
you do not maintain a Required Device, we may close your account.

If you make unauthorized modifications to your Eligible Device, such as by disabling hardware or software controls (for example, through a 
process sometimes referred to as "
"), your Eligible Device may no longer be eligible to access or manage your Account. You 
acknowledge that use of a modified Eligible Device in connection with your Account is expressly prohibited, constitutes a violation of this 
Agreement, and could result in our denying or limiting your access to or closing your Account as well as any other remedies available to us 
under this Agreement.

person.

DECLINED TRANSACTIONS
We may decline Transactions for any reason, including suspected or actual fraud, violation of applicable law, your default under this 
Agreement, or if you exceed your credit limit. We are not liable to you or anyone else if we do not authorize a Transaction, even if the 
charge is within your credit limit or you are not in default. If we decline a Transaction, we may advise the person who attempted the 
Transaction that it was declined. We are not responsible if anyone refuses to accept your Card.

Daily Cash Program
This section explains how you can earn and receive Daily Cash
in connection with your Account.

HOW YOU EARN DAILY CASH

Earning Daily Cash
You will earn Daily Cash on every Purchase Transaction posted to your Account as described below:

Transaction type

Daily Cash percentage

Goods or services purchased directly from Apple. 
These include purchases from Apple retail stores, the 
Apple online store, iTunes, Apple Music and other 
Apple-owned properties.

App Store purchases (including In-App Purchases ).*

3% of the transaction amount

Apple Pay Purchase Transactions

2% of the transaction amount

All other Purchase Transactions

1% of the transaction amount

In-App Purchases

*"
content, digital goods and subscriptions.

" means content, services or functionality that you can buy for use in apps on your Apple devices, including premium 

If any Purchase Transaction is covered by more than one Transaction type, the highest Daily Cash percentage will apply. For example, a 
Purchase Transaction at an Apple-owned retail store using Apple Pay would earn 3% Daily Cash, but would not also earn the 2% Daily 
Cash for Apple Pay transactions.

You may earn Daily Cash as long as your Account remains open and in good standing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Any accrued but unredeemed Daily Cash will not earn or accrue any interest, and we do not consider this Daily Cash when calculating the 
interest or Minimum Payment Due on your Account.

HOW YOUR DAILY CASH WILL BE CALCULATED
Daily Cash will be calculated based on the amount of each Purchase Transaction posted to your Account, multiplied by the above-listed 
percentage corresponding to the Transaction type. Daily Cash will be rounded to the nearest cent but will not be less than one cent.

Page 4/16

EXCEPTIONS
You will not earn 3% Daily Cash for purchases of Apple goods and services that are sold through third party retail or online stores, 
including any Apple authorized resellers, or if you make your payment through a third party wallet.

You will not earn Daily Cash for transactions that are not permissible under this Agreement or on purchases made for purposes of resale.

HOW YOU RECEIVE DAILY CASH

Apple Cash
Apple Cash is a prepaid card in Wallet that can be used to send money to friends, and to make purchases with Apple Pay in stores, apps 
and websites.

If you have an Apple Cash account that is active and in good standing, we will automatically transfer earned Daily Cash to your Apple Cash 
account when the Purchase Transaction for which you earned the Daily Cash is posted to your Account (an “

Automatic Transfer

”).

Apple Cash accounts are currently provided by a third party bank and are subject to separate terms and conditions. You agree that we 
may share information about your Daily Cash program activity with the Apple Cash provider in order to support the program by which your 
Daily Cash is transferred to your Apple Cash account. We are not responsible for, and will have no liability whatsoever arising from, your 
use of Apple Cash or any other products or services offered by the third party bank.

Credit to Your Account
If you do not have an Apple Cash account that is active and in good standing, or any attempted transfer to your Apple Cash account fails 
for any reason, we will not make Automatic Transfers of your Daily Cash, and any Daily Cash you earn will accrue without Automatic 
Transfer.

•

•

If you have an accrued but unredeemed Daily Cash balance, you can use the Wallet app to redeem all of your accrued but 
unredeemed Daily Cash as a credit to your Account. Daily Cash redemptions as a credit to your Account are considered payments.

If you later establish an Apple Cash account that is active and in good standing, then any accrued but unredeemed Daily Cash 
balance will be transferred to your Apple Cash account no later than your next posted Purchase Transaction, and Automatic 
Transfers will begin with your next posted Purchase Transaction.

If you have an accrued but unredeemed Daily Cash balance at the time your Account is closed, we will automatically apply that balance as 
a credit to your Account, unless prohibited by law, in which case we will pay you the amount of the Daily Cash balance via electronic funds 
transfer or by sending you a check.

DAILY CASH ADJUSTMENTS AND CORRECTIONS
If a credit is issued to your Account as provided below, we will charge your Account an amount up to the amount of any Daily Cash you 
accrued for the transaction(s) related to the credit (a “
Daily Cash Adjustment
following circumstances:

”). A Daily Cash Adjustment can be incurred in any of the 

•
•

•

If you make a return or a merchant otherwise credits your Account;
if you successfully dispute a transaction for which you initially earned Daily Cash, which results in a permanent credit being 
applied to your Account; or
if you are violating the terms of this Daily Cash program, or if we believe you are abusing or gaming this Daily Cash program.

Example:
You made a purchase of $100 and earned $3 of Daily Cash which was transferred to your Apple Cash account. If you 
later return that purchase, we will charge to your Account a Daily Cash Adjustment of $3.

Any Daily Cash Adjustment will be charged as a Transaction to your Account, reflected on your Monthly Statement, and any unpaid Daily 
Cash Adjustment amount remaining on your Account at the end of that month will be due in full as part of the Minimum Payment Due on 
the next payment due date. We will not charge interest on any Daily Cash Adjustment billed to your Account. If you fail to pay any Daily 
Cash Adjustment by the payment due date listed on your Monthly Statement, your Account will be considered delinquent and we may 
exercise our rights and remedies under this Agreement. If you have a Daily Cash Adjustment at the time your Account is closed, you will 
remain obligated to pay such amount.

In addition, if we mistakenly provide you with Daily Cash in an amount greater than you were entitled to, you agree that we can, at our 
discretion, recover from your Apple Cash account the excess amount that we transferred (a “
future Daily Cash from accruing on your Account until you have earned the Daily Cash Correction Amount, or seek a return of the Daily 
Cash Correction Amount from you. If you have a Daily Cash Correction Amount at the time your Account is closed, you will remain 
obligated to pay such amount.

DAILY CASH PROGRAM ERRORS; DISPUTES
If you believe that you are eligible for Daily Cash that you have not received, or that you received Daily Cash that was calculated 
erroneously, please contact us immediately. To help us resolve any errors, we may require you to submit documentation, which may 
include copies of receipts, invoices or purchase orders. If we or the Apple Cash provider fail to credit, improperly deny, or improperly 
reverse Daily Cash that you are entitled to, then, subject to applicable law, your only remedy will be the issuance of the improperly denied 
or reversed Daily Cash, if available, or another alternative comparable benefit as we may determine in our sole discretion. Neither we, the 
Apple Cash provider, nor Apple, nor any of our respective affiliates will have any other or additional liability to you or any other person 
whatsoever for any such errors.

TERMINATION AND/OR SUSPENSION OF YOUR DAILY CASH

Misuse of the Daily Cash Program
It will be considered a misuse of the Daily Cash program if we identify any:

•

•
•
•

Potentially fraudulent, abusive or suspicious activity with respect to the Daily Cash program, your Account or your Apple Cash 
account;
Gaming behavior;
Reselling activity; or
Violation of the terms of your Apple Cash account.

Effects of Misuse
Any misuse of the Daily Cash program is a violation of this Agreement and may also result in:

•
•

The forfeiture of any Daily Cash; or
The suspension or termination of your ability to earn or redeem Daily Cash.

Your ability to participate in the Daily Cash program ends when your Account is closed.

CHANGES TO THE DAILY CASH PROGRAM
We may change the requirements, amounts, transaction categories, redemption process, frequency of redemptions, or any other aspect of 
the Daily Cash program at any time. We reserve the right to end the Daily Cash program at any time for any reason.

Annual Percentage Rate, Interest Charges & Minimum Payment Due
This section explains how we determine your APR and DPR, how we calculate the interest you might owe each month,
how you can avoid interest in a given month and how we calculate the minimum payment due each month.

"

Annual Percentage Rate

" or "

APR

" is the term used for any interest rate on your Account.

"

Daily Periodic Interest Rate

" or "

DPR

" is the term used for the APR that applies to your daily balance on your Account.

"

Margin

" is the term used for the percentage rate we add to the Prime Rate to determine your APR.

See your Apple Wallet for the APR, DPR, and Margin.

HOW WE DETERMINE INTEREST RATE(S)

How We Determine the Applicable APR
For Purchase Transactions, the APR equals the Prime Rate plus the Margin that applies to your Account.

Variable APRs may increase or decrease each month if the Prime Rate changes. Your Purchase Transactions APR is a variable rate. If the 
Prime Rate changes, the new variable APRs will take effect as of the first day of the next month and apply to existing and new balances. 
Any increase in the Prime Rate may result in an increase to your interest and Minimum Payment Due. APRs will never exceed the maximum 
rates permitted by applicable law.

Prime Rate

" in effect for a given month is the highest U.S. Prime Rate published in the "Money Rates" section of the print edition of 
The "
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on the last day of the prior month that the Prime Rate was published. If the WSJ does not publish the Prime 
Rate on that day, then we will look to the last day before then that such rate was published. If the WSJ temporarily or permanently 
discontinues publishing the Prime Rate in its "Money Rates" section or if the WSJ changes its definition of the Prime Rate, then we may 
substitute another publicly available index not within our control and adjust the Margin, in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law. 
However, for the month of August 2019, the Prime Rate is equal to the U.S. Prime Rate published in the "Money Rates" section of the print 
edition of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on August 2, 2019.

Example:
On May 31 (which falls on a Business Day), the Prime Rate reported in the WSJ is 5.50%.

Assume the Margin for your Account is 13.25%.

To determine your APR for June, we add the Prime Rate to the Margin, which would be 18.75%.

Page 6/16

We may from time to time offer you different APRs and different terms that will apply to specified Purchase Transactions or other balances 
on your Account. Details will be provided at the time that these terms are offered to you.

How We Determine the Applicable DPR
The DPR for any given day during a month is equal to the applicable APR on that day divided by 365 (or 366 in leap years).

DPR = APR ÷ 365 (or 366 for leap years)

HOW WE DETERMINE YOUR DAILY BALANCE(S)
We determine the "

Daily Balance

" for each balance of your Account as follows:

•
•
•

•

We begin with the balance at the end of the prior day (excluding interest for that day); then
we add the prior day's interest; then
we add any new Transactions from that day (unless your Account qualifies for a Grace Period on New Transactions, as described 
below); and then
we subtract any new payments or credits posted to your Account that day (and not already deducted from your Account as 
provided below).

If any Daily Balance is less than zero, we treat it as zero. Additionally, if you had a Grace Period on New Transactions in the prior month, 
we subtract all payments and credits that are posted within the current month as of the first day of the current month.

Assuming no Grace Period applies (for example, you do not pay your New Balance in full), then:

Daily Balance = Prior day's closing balance + Prior day's interest + New Transactions - New payments and credits

HOW WE CALCULATE YOUR INTEREST
We use the “daily balance method (including new Transactions)” to calculate interest owed on each category of Transactions on your 
Account each month. Under this method, we first calculate the daily interest for each day in the month. We do this by multiplying your DPR 
by the “Daily Balance” of each category of Transactions for each day in the month. Different categories of Transactions may have different 
APRs and DPRs. Purchase Transactions have the APR and DPR set forth in your Apple Wallet, and Daily Cash Adjustments have an APR 
and DPR of zero. Then, to determine the total interest for the month, we add up the daily interest we calculated for each day in the month 
and round to the nearest cent.

Interest = Sum of daily interest for each day in the month

Daily interest = daily balance × DPR

WHEN DOES INTEREST BEGIN TO ACCRUE
Interest will accrue on any Transaction beginning on the date that the Transaction occurs. However, you can avoid interest if a Grace 
Period applies to your Account, as described below.

HOW TO AVOID INTEREST
The term "

Grace Period

" means a Grace Period on New Transactions or a Grace Period on the New Balance, as applicable.

Grace Period on New Transactions
Your Account automatically has a "
credit balance. Your Account will also obtain a Grace Period on New Transactions in a month if your Account has a New Balance for the 
prior month that is greater than $0 and you pay the New Balance for the prior month on or before its payment due date. In a month in 
which your Account qualifies for a Grace Period on New Transactions, we will not charge interest during that month on any new 
Transactions that post to your Account.

" in a month where your New Balance for the prior month is $0 or a 

Grace Period on New Transactions

Page 7/16

Example:
On February 1, your New Balance for January is $0. During February, you spend $1,000 in new Transactions.

On March 1, your New Balance for February is $1,000. During March, you spend $750 in new Transactions. You also 
make a payment of $1,000 on March 31.

The current month is now April.

•

•

Because the New Balance for January was $0, your Account automatically had a Grace Period on New 
Transactions during February and you avoided paying interest on the $1,000 in new Transactions during 
February.

Because you paid the New Balance of $1,000 for February in full by its payment due date, your Account had a 
Grace Period on New Transactions during March, and, therefore, you avoided paying interest during March on 
the $750 in new Transactions.

Grace Period on the New Balance
You can avoid paying interest on the New Balance or a portion of the New Balance based on your payment activity. Your Account has a
"
Grace Period on the New Balance
regain the Grace Period on the New Balance.

" when interest is not accruing on the New Balance. Below we explain how you can maintain, lose and 

•

•

•

Initial Grace Period on the New Balance: Your Account starts with a Grace Period on the New Balance. You can retain this Grace 
Period on the New Balance by always paying your New Balance by its corresponding payment due date.
Losing the Grace Period on the New Balance: Your Account will lose the Grace Period on the New Balance if you pay less than 
the New Balance by its corresponding payment due date. You will not pay interest on the portion of the New Balance that you paid 
during the month that you lose your Grace Period on the New Balance.
Regaining the Grace Period on the New Balance: If your Account has lost its Grace Period on the New Balance, you can regain it 
by paying the New Balance by its corresponding payment due date. You will then only maintain the Grace Period on the New 
Balance in the following and each and every subsequent months by paying the New Balance by its corresponding payment due 
date.

Example:
You opened your account on February 14. On March 1, your New Balance is $750. You will not be charged interest for 
the $750 worth of Transactions from February. During March, you make $500 in new transactions. You also make a 
payment of $700 on March 31.

•

Because you only paid $700 of the $750 March 1 New Balance, you only avoided paying interest during the 
month of March on the $700 that you paid. This means that during the month of March, you incurred interest on 
the $50 in unpaid New Balance. You also did not have a Grace Period on New Transactions and incurred interest 
on the $500 in new Transactions.

Grace Period for Financing Plan Offers
If you accept a financing plan offer or offers for particular purchases, then to maintain or regain a Grace Period for which you are 
otherwise eligible, you must pay by the payment due date: (i) your New Balance, minus any financing plan balance or balances; plus (ii) the 
monthly minimum amount due with respect to your financing plan or plans. This amount would be your Monthly Balance if you accept a 
financing plan or plans.

Impact of Reversed Payments or Credits
If your Account had a Grace Period because of a payment you made and we posted to your Account, but then that payment is reversed, 
you will lose the benefit of that Grace Period. As a result, we may charge you the interest you saved or would have saved because of the 
reversed payment. If you want to have a Grace Period on New Transactions during a month when a payment made in that month is 
reversed, you must pay before your next payment due date the entire New Balance plus the amount of the reversed payment plus any 
additional interest charged due to the reversed payment.

Page 8/16

Example:
On March 1, your New Balance is $100. During March, you make $75 in new Transactions. You also make a payment of 
$100 on March 31.

On April 5, your previous payment of $100 is reversed due to insufficient funds.

•

•

Because you paid the March 1 New Balance of $100 in full and on time, you had a Grace Period on New 
Transactions during March, and, therefore, you avoided paying interest during the month of March on the $75 in 
new Transactions.

Because your payment for the March 1 New Balance was subsequently reversed, we can now bill you in April for 
the interest you previously avoided in March on the $75 in new Transactions and on the $100 New Balance from 
your March 1 Monthly Statement.

HOW WE CALCULATE YOUR MINIMUM PAYMENT DUE
Your “

Minimum Payment Due

” equals the greater of:

•
•

The sum of $25 and any past due amounts; or
The sum of (i) 1% of the New Balance (excluding any Daily Cash Adjustment), plus (ii) any unpaid Daily Cash Adjustments billed to 
your Account during that month, plus (iii) any interest billed to your Account during that month. The sum of these amounts is 
rounded up to the nearest dollar, and then any past due amounts are added.

However, if the New Balance is less than the amount calculated above, then the Minimum Payment Due equals the New Balance.

If you accept a financing plan offer or offers for particular purchases, then we follow a three-step process to determine your Minimum 
Payment Due:

•

•

•

First, we calculate the payment due for your balances that are not in a financing plan. We use the formula from the prior paragraph 
to make this calculation, but we subtract the financing plan balance or balances from the New Balance and we do not add any 
interest from the financing plan or plans.
Second, we add any monthly repayment amount calculated pursuant to any financing plan or plans (which will be an amount that 
we disclose to you, and you accept, at the time of the purchase or purchases).
However, your Minimum Payment Due will never be greater than your New Balance.

Making Payments
This section explains when you must pay us each month, how to pay us,
and how we apply those payments to your Account.

WHEN TO PAY
At the beginning of each month, we will send you a Monthly Statement reflecting activity on your Account that occurred since the previous 
Monthly Statement, such as new Transactions, interest and Daily Cash Adjustments. It will also identify your New Balance, your Monthly 
Balance (if you do not have a financing plan, your Monthly Balance is equal to your New Balance), the Minimum Payment Due and the 
payment due date.

Your payment is due by 11:59 P.M. ET on the last calendar day of each month.

You must pay at least your Minimum Payment Due by the payment due date each month. You may pay all or part of the outstanding 
balance on your Account at any time without penalty.

HOW TO PAY
You can make electronic payments using Apple Wallet to initiate electronic fund transfers (e.g., ACH or debit) from your (i) Apple Cash 
account or (ii) a bank account(s) with a financial institution located in the U.S. (each, a "

Payment Source Account

").

When making payments:

•
•
•
•

Do not send us cash.
Pay only using U.S. dollars.
You should not pay more than your Account balance. We do not pay interest on credit balances.
Each day, you may make a total maximum of five (5) electronic payments on your Account.

PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION
Each time you authorize us to take an electronic payment from your Payment Source Account, you represent and warrant that you are 
legally authorized to use such Payment Source Account. By providing us with your Payment Source Account information, you authorize us 
to:

•
•
•

retain this information for the purpose of initiating electronic payments based on your instructions;
periodically make credits to the most recently linked Payment Source Account; and
correct any payment, credit, or account errors.

Page 9/16

•

correct any payment, credit, or account errors.

When you authorize us to take an electronic payment from your Apple Cash account, you are also authorizing Apple Payments, Inc. to 
transfer the payment amount from your Apple Cash account to Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Salt Lake City Branch. Your authorization will 
continue until it is cancelled as described below, or when your Account is closed with a zero balance.

Payment Dates
If you authorize us to make a payment on a day other than a Business Day, we will credit your payment on the scheduled payment date but 
we may pull the payment on or after the following Business Day.

If you authorize a payment for the 29 , 30  or 31  of a month, and the month does not have that many days, you are authorizing us to 
take your payment on or after the last day of that month.

Payment Amounts and Adjustments
You can choose to make one-time or recurring payments. Apple Cash can only be used for one-time payments. We may adjust the amount 
of your payment before processing it in the following ways:

•
•

•

•

•

To avoid creating a credit balance on your Account;
If you have scheduled a recurring payment for the amount of your Minimum Payment Due or Monthly Balance, your payment 
amount may be reduced automatically based on payments, returns, and other credits to your Account that are posted by 11:59 P.
M. ET on the day prior to the date of your scheduled payment. If an earlier payment is rejected, we may automatically add that 
amount to your scheduled payment, but not in excess of the amount you authorized;
If you have scheduled a recurring payment for a fixed dollar amount, your payment amount will not be reduced automatically 
based on payments, returns, and other credits to your Account. A recurring payment for a fixed dollar amount will always be 
processed if you have a balance;
In all instances, if your Account balance on the scheduled payment date is $0 or less, then we will automatically cancel your 
payment for that date. In the case of a recurring payment, your payment will automatically restart on the next scheduled payment 
date on which your Account balance is greater than $0; or
In all instances, if a recurring payment is declined because of insufficient funds, then we will automatically turn off recurring 
payments and you will have to set up a new recurring payment.

We will not adjust your payment to an amount greater than what you authorize.

Split Payments
You can choose to "split" your electronic payment between your Apple Cash account and your bank account. If you elect to do so, funds 
will first be taken from your Apple Cash available balance, and if such funds are insufficient to pay off the full payment amount that you 
have authorized, then we will withdraw the remaining funds from your designated bank account. You agree that we may receive 
information about your Apple Cash account from the Apple Cash provider for purposes of supporting split payments.

Payment Cancellations
You can cancel a scheduled payment by contacting us. We must receive your cancellation request no later than 11:59 P.M. ET on the day 
prior to the date of your scheduled payment. We may cancel your payment(s) if any prior payments from the associated Payment Source 
Account are returned, or for any other reason we deem appropriate. We will provide you with notice of such cancellation.

WHEN WE CREDIT YOUR PAYMENTS

Electronic Payments
If you pay in accordance with the payment instructions detailed in this Agreement and in your Monthly Statement, we will credit your 
payments as follows:

•

•

If you initiate a one-time payment using a Payment Source Account before 11:59 P.M. ET, we will credit the payment as of that 
calendar day. Otherwise, we will credit your payment as of the next day.
If you set up recurring payments, we will credit each payment as of its scheduled payment date.

Non-conforming Payments
We may reject any payments that do not comply with our payment instructions set forth in this Agreement or on your Monthly Statement 
") in our discretion. If we accept a Non-conforming Payment, crediting your Account for the payment 
(each a "
may be delayed and may result in additional interest billed to your Account.

Non-conforming Payment

We may accept any Non-conforming Payments, late payments, partial payments or payments with restrictive endorsements, without losing 
any of our rights, including our right to close your Account. We may deposit any payment you send us for less than the total outstanding 
balance of your Account that you mark "paid in full" or with any similar language or otherwise seek to provide as full satisfaction of a 
disputed amount. If we do, this payment will not fully satisfy the disputed amount or otherwise affect our rights to payment in full.

Credit Availability
After receiving a payment, we can immediately increase your available credit, or delay increasing the available credit on your Account for a 
period of time. You can check the status of your available credit by going to the Wallet app on your Required Device.

HOW WE APPLY PAYMENTS, CREDITS AND REFUNDS
Subject to applicable law, when we receive a payment, including when you redeem Daily Cash as a credit, for your Account, we will apply:

•

•

amounts up to your Minimum Payment Due in any manner we choose; and

any amounts exceeding the Minimum Payment Due first to the balance with the highest APR, and then to balances with lower APRs 

Page 10/16

•

any amounts exceeding the Minimum Payment Due first to the balance with the highest APR, and then to balances with lower APRs 
(in descending order based on the applicable APR). This means that any Daily Cash Adjustment that has not been reflected on a 
Monthly Statement will be paid last.

Other refunds and credits are applied to the applicable balance on your Account, but do not generally reduce your obligation to pay your 
Minimum Payment Due.

may happen when your Account is in default.

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 two things:

1.  

2.  

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.
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 summary, 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:

•

•

•

The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase 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.)
You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that 
access your credit card account do not qualify.
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 using Messages or write us at:

Lockbox 6112
P.O. Box 7247
Philadelphia, PA 19170-6112

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.

against corporate affiliates will be considered a single claim. The arbitrator has no authority to award any relief not available in an 
individual action in court or award any declaratory, injunctive or other relief primarily for the benefit of the general public. Further, unless 
you and we both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may award relief only in favor of your individual Claim. The arbitrator may not 
award relief for or against any other person, whether directly or indirectly.

PROCEDURE
A single arbitrator will resolve the Claims. The arbitrator will be a lawyer with at least ten (10) years of experience who is a former or retired 
judge and will be selected by the parties; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) 
days after delivery of the demand for arbitration, then the arbitrator will be appointed by the arbitration administrator. The arbitration shall 
comply with the arbitration administrator’s rules (the Streamlined Arbitration Rules for JAMS and the Consumer Arbitration Rules for AAA) 
in effect on the date the arbitration is filed, except where there is a conflict or inconsistency between the arbitration administrator’s rules 
and procedures and this arbitration provision, in which case this arbitration provision will govern. The arbitration will be conducted in 
English unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. Any in-person arbitration hearing for a Claim will take place within the federal judicial 
district in which you live or at such other reasonably convenient location as agreed by the parties. The arbitrator will apply applicable 
substantive law consistent with the FAA and will honor all claims of privilege and confidentiality recognized at law. All statutes of 
limitations that would otherwise be applicable will apply to any arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator will not apply any federal or state 
rules of civil procedure or evidence in matters relating to evidence or discovery. Except as otherwise provided in this arbitration provision, 
the arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any appropriate court may 
enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and 
is governed by the FAA.

ADDITIONAL ARBITRATION AWARD; ATTORNEYS' FEES
If we make a final written settlement offer before the arbitrator is selected and the arbitrator rules in your favor for an amount greater than 
that final offer, or if we do not make a final written settlement offer before the arbitrator is selected and the arbitrator rules in your favor on 
the merits of your Claim, the arbitrator's award will include: (1) any money to which you are entitled, but in no case less than $10,000; (2) 
twice the amount of your reasonable attorneys' fees, or the amount of attorneys' fees to which you are entitled under applicable law, 
whichever is greater; and (3) your costs and expert and other witness fees. If we prevail in arbitration, we will not be entitled to recover our 
attorneys' fees even when permitted to do so under applicable law.

ARBITRATION FEES
We will pay any arbitration fees (including the arbitrator’s fees and any filing, administrative, hearing or other fees charged by the 
arbitration administrator) in connection with any Claims. You will be responsible for any other costs that you incur in connection with any 
Claim unless applicable law provides otherwise. Any arbitration award will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other 
case except to enforce the award.

SURVIVAL
This arbitration provision shall survive payment of all amounts due pursuant to this Agreement, termination of your Account, any legal 
proceeding to collect amounts due, any bankruptcy and any assignment or sale of this Agreement, your Account or any and all rights 
thereunder. In the case of an assignment or sale of this Agreement, your Account or any and all rights thereunder, the buyer will be bound 
by and may enforce the terms of this arbitration provision. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it 
will not invalidate the remaining provisions of this arbitration provision or this Agreement, except that if any part of the "Individual Claims 
Only" provision is found in a court proceeding to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable with respect to a Claim (and that determination 
becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), then this arbitration provision (except for this sentence) will not apply to that Claim.
