How Interest is Calculated

Your Interest Rate

SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION 
SAM’S CLUB® MASTERCARD® ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

We use a daily rate to calculate the interest on the balance on your account each day. The daily rate is the applicable APR times 
1/365. Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted by applicable law.

For Account Type 1: 

The  APR  for  purchases  and  quick  cash  advances  is  the  prime  rate  plus  11.65%.  As  of  April  1,  2020,  the  daily  rate  for 
purchases and quick cash advances was .04083% (APR 14.90%).

The APR for balance transfers is the prime rate plus 11.65%. As of April 1, 2020, the daily rate for balance transfers was 
.04083% (APR 14.90%).

The APR for cash advances is the prime rate plus 16.65%. As of April 1, 2020, the daily rate for cash advances was .05453% 
(APR 19.90%).

For Account Type 2:

The  APR  for  purchases  and  quick  cash  advances  is  the  prime  rate  plus  19.65%.  As  of  April  1,  2020,  the  daily  rate  for 
purchases and quick cash advances was .06274% (APR 22.90%).

The APR for balance transfers is the prime rate plus 19.65%. As of April 1, 2020, the daily rate for balance transfers was 
.06274% (APR 22.90%).

The APR for cash advances is the prime rate plus 22.65%. As of April 1, 2020, the daily rate for cash advances was .07096% 
(APR 25.90%).
Daily Rates May Vary. The APRs and the daily rates on your account vary with the market based on the prime rate. The 
prime rate for a billing cycle is the highest bank prime loan rate published in The Wall Street Journal in its Money Rates section 
on the last business day of the calendar month preceding the first day of the billing cycle.

If the prime rate increases, the daily rates and APRs will increase. As a result, interest, your total minimum payment and the 
number of payments it would take you to pay off your account balance may increase. We apply any change in rates because 
of a prime rate change to your entire account balance. A change in the prime rate will take effect on the first day of the first 
billing cycle after the change. We may select a new interest rate index if the prime rate is not available.

When We Charge Interest 

Purchases. We charge interest on your purchases from the date you make the purchase until you pay the purchase in full. 
See exceptions below.

How We Calculate Interest

•  We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any purchases if:

  1. You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR

  2.  You  had  a  balance  at  the  start  of  the  billing  cycle  and  you  paid  that  balance  in  full  by  the  due  date 

in that billing cycle.

•  We will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate to purchases if:

  1. You had no balance at the start of the previous billing cycle; OR

  2.  You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in the 

previous billing cycle.

Balance  Transfers  and  Cash  Advances.  We  charge  interest  on  your  balance  transfers  and  cash  advances,  and  their 
related fees, from the date you make the transaction until you pay them in full. You cannot avoid paying interest on balance 
transfers or cash advances or their related fees.

We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the daily rate to 
the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the following balance types, as 
applicable: purchases, balance transfers, cash advances and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or special 
promotions. See below for how this works.

1.  How to get the daily balance: We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, and subtract 

any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance.

We apply fees to balance types as follows:

(a) late payment fees are treated as new purchases; 

(b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance;

(c) balance transfer fees are added to the balance transfer balance; and

(d) cash advance fees are added to the cash advance balance. 

2. How to get the daily interest amount: We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.

3.  How to get the starting balance for the next day: We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the daily balance from step 1.

4.  How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle: We add all the daily interest amounts that were charged during 

the billing cycle.

We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. This charge is added proportionately 
to each balance type.

How Fees Work 

Balance Transfer Fee

We will charge this fee for each balance transfer you make.

Cash Advance Fee

Late Payment Fee

We will charge this fee for each cash advance you make. For ATM cash advances this fee is in addition to any fee the ATM 
owner may charge you for use of the ATM.

We will charge this fee if we do not receive the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on the due date. 
This fee is equal to:

1. $29, if you have paid your total minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles.

OR

2.  $40, if you have failed to pay your total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the prior six 

billing cycles.

The late payment fee will not be more than the total minimum payment that was due.

Minimum Payment Calculation

Your total minimum payment is calculated as follows.

The greater of:

1.  $29, or $40 (which includes any past due amounts) if you have failed to pay at least the total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the 

prior six billing cycles.

OR

2.  The sum of:

a.  Any past due amounts; PLUS 

b.  1% of your new balance (excluding any balance in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation) shown on your billing 

statement; PLUS

c.  Any late payment fees charged to your account in the current billing cycle; PLUS

d.  All interest charged to your account in the current billing cycle; PLUS

e.  Any payment due in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation.

We round up to the next highest whole dollar in figuring your total minimum payment. Your total minimum payment will never be more than your new balance.

Special Promotional Financing Offer Information

At times, we may offer you special financing promotions for certain transactions (“special promotions”). The terms of the Agreement apply to any special promotion. 
However,  any  special  promotional  terms  that  are  different  than  the  terms  in  the  Agreement  will  be  explained  on  special  promotional  advertising  or  other  disclosures 
provided to you. Below is a description of certain special promotions that may be offered: 

•  No Interest for 6 Months

•  No Interest for 12 Months

•  No Interest for 18 Months

•  No Interest for 24 Months

•  No Interest for 36 Months

•  No Interest for 48 Months

For  each  promotion,  after  the  promotion  ends,  the  variable 
Purchase  APR  that  applies  to  your  account  when  the 
promotional purchase is made will apply.

At  the  time  your  account  is  opened,  this  is  the  variable  APR 
applicable to your account.

Your  Purchase  APR  will  vary  with  the  market  based  on  the 
prime rate.

When you make a qualifying purchase under one of these promotions, no interest will be assessed on the purchase during the promotional period, but minimum monthly 
payments are required. Regular account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after promotion ends, to your promotional purchases. Offers are subject to credit 
approval. These promotional offers may not be available at all times for all purchases. Please see any special promotion advertising or other disclosures provided to you

•  No Interest if Paid in Full Within 24 Months

•  No Interest if Paid in Full Within 36 Months

•  No Interest if Paid in Full Within 48 Months

For each promotion, if the promotional balance is not paid in full 
within  the  promotional  period,  interest  will  be  imposed  from  the 
date of purchase at the variable Purchase APR that applies to your 
account when the promotional purchase is made.

At  the  time  your  account  is  opened,  this  is  the  variable  APR 
applicable to your account.

Your  Purchase  APR  will  vary  with  the  market  based  on  the 
prime rate.

When you make a qualifying purchase under one of these promotions, no interest will be assessed on the purchase if you pay the following (the “promotional balance”) 
in full within the applicable promotional period: (1) the promotional purchase amount, and (2) any related optional credit insurance/debt cancellation charges. If you do 
not, interest will be assessed on the promotional balance from the date of the purchase. Minimum monthly payments are required. Some or all of the minimum payment 
based on the promotional balance may be applied to other account balances. Regular account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after promotion ends, to 
promotional purchases. Offers are subject to credit approval. These promotional offers may not be available at all times for all purchases. Please see any special promotion 
advertising or other disclosures provided to you for the full terms of any special promotion offered.

or at the same time.

Parties To This Agreement. This Agreement applies to each accountholder approved on the account and each of you is responsible for paying the full amount 
due, no matter which one uses the account. We may treat each of you as one accountholder and may refer to each of you as “you” or “your.” Synchrony Bank may

HOW TO USE YOUR ACCOUNT/CARD
Use  Of  Your  Account.  You  may  use  your  account  only  for  lawful  personal,  family  or  household  purposes.  You  may  use  your  account  for  purchases  from   
Sam’s Club and Walmart locations, including online at SamsClub.com and www.walmart.com and from any merchant that accepts Mastercard credit cards or to 
obtain cash loans (“Quick Cash Advances”) that we may offer at participating Sam’s Club owned registers in Sam’s Club locations. Each Quick Cash Advance may 
only be in the amount of $20.00, $40.00, $60.00, $80.00 or $100.00 and may only be obtained if you are making an approved purchase with your card. No more 
than one cash advance may be obtained on your account each day. Quick Cash Advances will be treated as purchases for the purpose of calculating interest. You 
may get cash advances. You may not use your account to pay amounts you owe us on this account or any other account you have with us. From time to time, in our 
sole discretion, we may offer you the chance to transfer balances from your other credit card accounts to this account. Details of the terms applicable to the balance 
transfer will be provided with the offer.

Cash Advances. We may offer you the opportunity to get a cash advance with convenience checks that we send you. We may not honor a convenience check for 
any reason stated on the check. You can also get cash or make a withdrawal from any institution or ATM that accepts the card or the account. In addition, we will 
treat any purchase of certain cash like items as cash advances. Cash like items include for example, money orders, cashier’s checks, traveler’s checks, electronic or 
wire transfers, foreign currency or other in bank transactions, tax payments, lottery tickets or other legalized gambling transactions, court costs, bail bonds and fines.

You Promise To Pay. You promise to pay us for all amounts owed to us under this Agreement. 

Your Responsibility. Each accountholder will receive a card. You may not allow anyone else to use your account. If you do, or if you ask us to send a card to 
someone else, you will be responsible for paying for all charges resulting from their transactions.

Transaction Limits. To prevent fraud, we may limit the number or dollar amount of any type of transactions you can make in any particular amount of time. We also 
may decline any particular charge on your account for any reason.

Credit Limit. You will be assigned a credit limit and cash advance limit on your account that we may increase or decrease from time to time. If we approve a 
transaction that makes you go over your credit limit or your cash advance limit, we do not give up any rights under this Agreement and we do not treat it as an 
increase in either limit. 

HOW AND WHEN TO MAKE PAYMENTS
When Payments Are Due. You must pay at least the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on the due date of each billing cycle. Payments 
received after 5 p.m. (ET) will be credited as of the next day. You may at any time pay, in whole or in part, the total unpaid balance without any additional charge for 
prepayment. If you have a balance subject to interest, earlier payment may reduce the amount of interest you will pay. We may delay making credit available on your 
account in the amount of your payment even though we will credit your payment when we receive it.

Payment Options. You can pay by mail, online or at a Sam’s Club or Walmart store. We may allow you to make payments over the phone but we will charge you 
a fee to make expedited phone payments. Your payment must be made in U.S. dollars by physical or electronic check, money order or a similar instrument from a 
bank located in the United States.

How To Make A Payment. You must follow the instructions for making payments provided on your billing statement. If you do not, credit of your payment may be 
delayed up to five days. Your billing statement also explains how information on your check is used.

Payment Allocation. We will apply the required total minimum payment to balances on your account using any method we choose. Any payment you make in 
excess of the required total minimum payment will be applied to higher APR balances before lower APR balances. Applicable law may require or permit us to apply 
excess payments in a different manner in certain situations, such as when your account has a certain type of special promotion.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOU 
Using And Sharing Your Information. When you applied for an account, you gave us and Sam’s Club information about yourself that we could share with each 
other. Sam’s Club will use the information in connection with the credit program and for things like creating and updating its records and offering you special benefits.

RESOLVING A DISPUTE WITH ARBITRATION 
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT REJECT IT, THIS SECTION WILL APPLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT, AND MOST DISPUTES 
BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A JURY WILL RESOLVE 
ANY SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING; (3) LESS INFORMATION WILL 
BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE LIMITED.

1.  CLAIMS AND PARTIES. If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you (including any other 
user of your account), and us (including our parents, affiliates, agents, employees, officers, and assignees) that directly or indirectly arises from or relates to your 
account, your account Agreement or our relationship, except as noted below. In addition, the following are intended beneficiaries of this Arbitration section and 
may enforce it in full (notwithstanding any state law to the contrary): (a) Sam’s Club and its affiliates; and (b) any assignee, agent, or service provider of ours 
that collects amounts due on your account.

2.  This Arbitration section broadly covers claims based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts, negligence, constitution, statute, 
regulation, ordinance, common law and equity and claims for money damages and injunctive or declaratory relief, even if they arose before this section took 
effect. You may not sell, assign or transfer a claim. 

3.  Examples of claims subject to arbitration are disputes about an account transaction, fees, charges or interest, the events leading up to the Agreement (such 
as any disclosures, advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements, warranties or representations made by us), an application for or denial of credit, 
any product or service provided by us or third parties in connection with the Agreement, credit reporting, benefit programs related to your account including 
any reward program, the collection of amounts due by our assignees, service providers, or agents and the manner of collection.

4.  However, we will not require you to arbitrate any individual case in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so long as it remains an individual case in 
that court. Also, 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 
claim later asserted by a party in any related or unrelated lawsuit, including modifying an individual claim to assert a class, representative or multi-party claim. 
Arbitration may be requested at any time, even where there is a pending lawsuit, unless a trial has begun, or a final judgment entered. 

5.  Only a court will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration section or any part thereof. However, any dispute that 

concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator to decide.

6.  NO CLASS ACTIONS.  IF EITHER YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT (A) TO PARTICIPATE 
IN  A  CLASS  ACTION,  PRIVATE  ATTORNEY  GENERAL  ACTION  OR  OTHER  REPRESENTATIVE  ACTION  IN  COURT  OR  IN  ARBITRATION,  EITHER  AS 
A  CLASS  REPRESENTATIVE  OR  CLASS  MEMBER,  OR  (B)  TO  JOIN  OR  CONSOLIDATE  CLAIMS  WITH  CLAIMS  OF  ANY  OTHER  PERSONS  EXCEPT 
ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT. THUS, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS NOT 
AN ACCOUNTHOLDER ON YOUR ACCOUNT, AND YOU AGREE THAT ONLY ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE JOINED IN A SINGLE 
ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE. 

7.  PROCEDURES.  The  party  who  wants  to  arbitrate  must  notify  the  other  party  in  writing.  This  notice  can  be  given  after  the  beginning  of  a  lawsuit  or  in 
papers filed in the lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to Synchrony Bank, Legal Operation, P.O. Box 29110, Shawnee Mission, KS 66201-5320,  
ATTN:  ARBITRATION  DEMAND.  The  party  seeking  arbitration  must  select  either  the  American  Arbitration  Association  (AAA),  120  Broadway,  Floor  21,   
New York, NY 10271, www.adr.org, or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com, to administer the arbitration. If neither 
administrator can handle the dispute, a court with jurisdiction will appoint an arbitrator.

8.  The arbitration administrator will appoint the arbitrator and will tell the parties what to do next. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten years of legal 
experience. The arbitrator must apply the same law, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), that would apply to an individual action in court, but may 
use different procedural rules. The arbitrator will apply the same statutes of limitation and privileges that a court would apply if the matter were pending in court. 

9.  The arbitrator may award any damages or other relief or remedies that would apply under applicable law to an individual action brought in court, including, 
without limitation, punitive damages (governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and injunctive, equitable and declaratory relief (but only 
in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim). The parties will bear 
the fees and costs of their attorneys, witnesses and experts. However, the arbitrator will have the authority to award fees and costs of attorneys, witnesses 
and experts to the extent permitted by the Agreement, the administrator’s rules or applicable law.

5

10.  The arbitration will take place by phone or at a location reasonably convenient to you. If you ask, we will pay all the fees the administrator or arbitrator charges 
if you cannot obtain a waiver of fees from the administrator and are acting in good faith. We will always pay arbitration costs required by the administrator’s 
rules or that are necessary for this Arbitration section to be enforced.

11.  GOVERNING LAW. This Arbitration section is governed by the FAA. Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant under the FAA, unless otherwise 
stated herein. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment upon 
the arbitrator’s award. The arbitration award and any judgment confirming it will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other case except 
to enforce the award. 

12.  SURVIVAL. This Arbitration section shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed, the termination, cancellation or suspension of the Agreement or your 
account or credit privileges, any legal proceeding, and any bankruptcy by you, to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. If this Arbitration section 
conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of the Agreement, this Arbitration section shall govern. 

13.  SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Arbitration section is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force with 
the following two exceptions. First, if a determination is made that the “No Class Actions” provision is unenforceable, and that determination is not reversed on 
appeal, then this Arbitration section shall be void in its entirety. Second, if a court determines that a public injunctive relief claim may proceed notwithstanding 
the “No Class Actions” provision, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the public injunctive relief claim will be decided by a court, and any 
individual claims will be arbitrated. The parties will ask the court to stay the public injunctive relief claim until the other claims have been finally concluded.

14.  HOW TO REJECT ARBITRATION. You may reject this Arbitration section. If you do that, a court will resolve any dispute or claim. To reject this section, 
send us a notice within 45 days after you open your account or we first provided you with your right to reject this section. The notice must include your name, 
address, account number, and personal signature, and must be mailed to Synchrony Bank, P.O. Box 965012, Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only

effective as of the date of the Agreement and will supersede any prior arbitration agreement between you and us that would otherwise be applicable.
