MAKING PAYMENTS

How We Apply Payments

INTEREST CHARGES

How We Calculate Interest 
Charges—Daily Balance 
Method (including current 
transactions) 

Paying Interest

 We  apply  payments  and  credits  at  our  discretion,  including  in  a  manner  most 
favorable or convenient for us. In all cases, we will apply payments and credits as 
required by applicable law. 

Each  billing  period,  we  will  generally  apply  amounts  you  pay  that  exceed  the 
Minimum Payment Due to balances with higher APRs before balances with lower 
APRs as of the date we credit your payment.

 We calculate interest charges each billing period by first figuring the “daily balance” 
for each Transaction Category. Transaction Categories include standard Purchases, 
standard Cash Advances and different promotional balances, such as Balance Transfers.
How We Figure the Daily Balance for Each Transaction Category
•  We start with the beginning balance for each day. The beginning balance for the    
first day of the billing period is your balance on the last day of your previous billing period.
•  We add any interest charges accrued on the previous day’s daily balance and any 
new transactions and fees. We add any new transactions or fees as of the later of 
the Transaction Date or the first day of the billing period in which the transaction or 
fee posted to your Account.

• We subtract any new credits and payments.
•  We make other adjustments (including those adjustments required in the “Paying 

Interest” section).

 When Interest Charges Begin 
We begin to impose interest charges on a transaction, fee or interest charge from 
the day we add it to the daily balance. We continue to impose interest charges 
until you pay the total amount you owe us. You can avoid paying interest on 
Purchases as described below. However, you cannot avoid paying interest on 
Balance Transfers or Cash Advances.
 How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases (“Grace Period”) 
If you paid the New Balance on your previous billing statement by the Payment Due 

How We Figure Your Total Interest Charges
•  We multiply the daily balance for each Transaction Category by its daily periodic 
rate. We do this for each day in the billing period. This gives us the interest charges  
for each Transaction Category. To get a daily periodic rate, we divide the APR that 
applies to the Transaction Category by 365.

•  We add up all the daily interest charges. The sum is the total interest charge for 

the billing period.
How We Include Fees
 We  add  Balance  Transfer  Fees  to  the  applicable  Balance  Transfer  Transaction 
Category. We add Cash Advance Fees to the applicable Cash Advance Transaction 
Category. We add all other fees to the standard Purchase Transaction Category.

Date shown on that billing statement, we will not impose interest charges on new 
Purchases, or any portion of a new Purchase, paid by the Payment Due Date on 
your current billing statement. New Purchases are Purchases that first appear on 
the current billing statement.
 How We Apply Payments May Impact Your Grace Period 
If you do not pay your New Balance in full each month, then, depending on the balance 
to which we apply your payment, you may not get a grace period on new Purchases.

ARBITRATION

Agreement  to  arbitrate. If a dispute arises between you and us,

described below, instead of in court. Any claim (except for a claim 
challenging the validity or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, 
including  the  Class  Action  Waiver)  may  be  resolved  by  binding 
arbitration if either side requests it. This includes claims and disputes 
relating to any other Account or agreement you have or had with us. 
THIS MEANS IF EITHER YOU OR WE CHOOSE ARBITRATION, NEITHER 
PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT 
OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. ALSO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS 
ARE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
CLASS  ACTION  WAIVER.  ARBITRATION  MUST  BE  ON  AN 
INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS  NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY JOIN 
OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION BY OR AGAINST OTHER 
CARDMEMBERS, OR LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS 
AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY
Only a court, and not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity and effect 
of the Class Action Waiver. Even if all parties have opted to litigate a 
claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any claim 
made by a new party or any new claims later asserted in that lawsuit.
Your Right to Go To Small Claims Court. We will not choose to 
arbitrate any claim you bring in small claims court. However, if such a 
claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we may 
then choose to arbitrate.
Governing Law and Rules. This arbitration agreement is governed 
by  the  Federal  Arbitration  Act  (FAA).  Arbitration  must  proceed  only 
with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS. The rules 
for the arbitration will be those in this arbitration agreement and the 
procedures of the chosen arbitration organization, but the rules in this 
arbitration agreement will be followed if there is disagreement between 
the agreement and the organization’s procedures. If the organization’s 
procedures  change  after  the  claim  is  filed,  the  procedures  in  effect 
when the claim was filed will apply. For a copy of each organization’s 

procedures, to file a claim or for other information, please contact:
•  AAA  at  335  Madison  Ave.,  Floor  10,  New  York,  NY  10017-5905, 

www.adr.org (phone 1-800-778-7879) or

•  JAMS  at  620  Eighth  Ave.,  Floor  34,  New  York,  NY  10018,  

www.jamsadr.com (phone 1-800-352-5267). 

If both AAA and JAMS are completely unavailable, and if you and we 
cannot agree on a substitute, then either you or we may request that a 
court appoint a substitute.
Fees and Costs. If you wish to begin an arbitration against us but you 
cannot afford to pay the organization’s or arbitrator’s costs, we will 
pay those costs if you ask us in writing. Any request like this should 
be sent to Discover, PO Box 30421, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0421. If 
you lose the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide whether you must 
reimburse us for money we advanced for you for the arbitration.
If you win the arbitration, we will not ask for reimbursement of 
money we advanced. Additionally, if you win the arbitration, the 
arbitrator may decide that you are entitled to be reimbursed your 
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (if actually paid by you).
Hearings and Decisions. Arbitration hearings will take place in 
the federal judicial district where you live. A single arbitrator will 
be appointed. The arbitrator must:
•  Follow all applicable substantive law, except when contradicted by 

the FAA;

• Follow applicable statutes of limitations;
• Honor valid claims of privilege;
• issue a written decision including the reasons for the award.
The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding except for any 
review allowed by the FAA. However, if more than $100,000 was 
genuinely in dispute, then either you or we may choose to appeal to 
a new panel of three arbitrators. The appellate panel is completely 
free  to  accept  or  reject  the  entire  original  award  or  any  part  of 
it. The appeal must be filed with the arbitration organization not 
later than 30 days after the original award issues. The appealing 

-4-

party pays all appellate costs. The appellate panel may order that 
the loser of the appeal pay the winner’s costs and attorneys’ fees. 
Any  arbitration  award  may  be  enforced  (such  as  through  a 
judgment) in any court with jurisdiction.
Other  Beneficiaries  of  this  Provision.  In  addition  to  you  and 
us, the rights and duties described in this arbitration agreement 
apply  to:  our  Affiliates  and  our  and  their  officers,  directors  and 
employees; any third party co-defendant of a claim subject to this 
arbitration provision; and all joint Accountholders and Authorized 
Users of your Account(s).
Survival of this Provision. This arbitration provision shall survive:
•  closing of your Account;
•  voluntary payment of your Account or any part of it;
•  any legal proceedings to collect money you owe;
•  any bankruptcy by you; and
•  any sale by us of your Account.
You May Have the Right to Reject Arbitration.
You may reject the Arbitration of Disputes section but only if 
we receive from you a written notice  of  rejection  within 30 
days of your receipt of the Card. You must send the notice of 
rejection to: Discover, PO Box 30938, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-
0938. Your rejection notice must include your name, address, phone 
number, Account number and personal signature. No one else may 
sign the rejection notice for you. Your rejection notice also must not 
be sent with any other correspondence. However, if you previously 
had the chance to reject an arbitration agreement with us but did 
not, you may not reject it now. Rejection of arbitration will not affect 
your  other  rights  or  responsibilities  under  this  Agreement  or  your 
obligation to arbitrate disputes under any other account as to which 
you and we have agreed to arbitrate disputes. If you once sent us a 
rejection notice on a different account or card, you must send us a 
new rejection notice or else this arbitration agreement will apply to 
any disputes with us relating to your other accounts or cards.
