Minimum Payment Due
Your Minimum Payment Due (“Payment Due”) each billing cycle will be as follows:
    1) If your New Balance is $25 or less, your Payment Due is equal to your New Balance.
    2) If your New Balance is more than $25, your Payment Due is equal to any amount past due, plus the greater of:
       a) $25; or
       b) 1% of your New Balance; plus
       - billed Late Payment Fees; plus
       - billed Over the Credit Limit Fees; plus
       - billed Interest Charges; plus
       - 1/12th of the Annual Fee, if any.
Unless your Payment Due is equal to your new Account balance, it will be rounded up to the nearest dollar.

Interest Rates 

About Your APRs
A Daily Periodic Rate is used to determine your Interest Charges in any billing cycle. To determine this rate, we divide your APR by 365; then round this number up 
to the next hundred thousandth of a percentage point.

How a Variable Rate May Change
Your variable APRs can change with each monthly billing cycle. We will apply each APR to the applicable balance for each type of transaction.

Each variable APR will be equal to:
a) the amount shown in Part 2 above (“Spread”) plus
b) the U.S. “Prime Rate” as defined below.

The Prime Rate will be as shown in the Money Rates table of The Wall Street Journal that is in effect on the last day of the month. Any changes in the Prime Rate 
will take effect on the first day of your billing cycle beginning in the next month. An increase in the U.S. Prime Rate will increase your Daily Periodic Rates. It may 
also increase your:
• Interest Due; and/or
• Minimum Payment Due

Specific Rates and Fees may be determined based on your creditworthiness.

APR for Purchases 
13.99% - 22.9% (corresponding .03833% - .06274% DPR)
(“Spread”) used:
 10.74% - 19.65%

APR for Balance Transfers 
13.99% - 22.9% (corresponding .03833% - .06274% DPR), if available
(“Spread”) used:

APR for Cash Advances 
24.9% (corresponding .06822% DPR)
(“Spread”) used:
 21.65%

Penalty APR
30.99% (corresponding .08490% DPR)
(“Spread”) used:
 27.74%

About the Penalty APR
If you do not make your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date, we may increase your APRs to the Penalty APR.

If this occurs:
• we will provide advance notice before the Penalty APR goes into effect.
• once the Penalty APR goes into effect, if you make your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date for the next six consecutive billing cycles, your rates will 
return to the non-Penalty APRs that apply to your Account.
• if you do not make the next six consecutive minimum payments by the Payment Due Date, we may keep the Penalty APR on your Account indefinitely.

Interest Charges

How Daily Balance Is Determined

To determine your Daily Balance, we:
• take the beginning balance for each type of transaction that day; then
• add the following that were incurred on that day:
a) any new transactions;
b) any previous day’s periodic Interest Charges;
c) any Finance Charges; and
d) any fees and charges, including any credit insurance premiums or debt cancelation fees, if these apply; then
• subtract any payments and/or credits.

To calculate your Average Daily Balance, we:
• add the Daily Balances for each day of the billing cycle; then
• divide this total by the number of days in the billing cycle.

Paying Interest:
Your Account has a 25 day grace period on purchases. Periodic Interest Charges begin accruing on purchases, balance transfers, cash advances, and credit card checks on 
the date of the transaction and continue to accrue until your balance is paid in full. However, no Interest will be charged on new purchases for any billing cycle when:

• you paid your entire New Balance in the previous month on time; and
• you pay your entire current month’s balance on time as well.

Treatment Of Fees And Interest 

Minimum Interest Charge
If you are charged Interest, the charge will be no less than the Minimum Interest Charge of $1.00. The Minimum Interest Charge will be allocated to each balance 
category subject to an Interest Charge.

Balance Transfer Fee: 
Either $10 or 3% of the amount of each transfer, whichever is greater, that posts to your account for the first 12 months. 

Cash Advance Fee
Either $15 or 3% of the amount of each cash advance, whichever is greater. 

Fees And Limits

Annual or Periodic Membership Fee
$0.

Late Payment Fee
Up to $35. The Late Payment Fee will not exceed the amount of your Minimum Payment Due.

If your Outstanding Balance on your payment Due Date is up to and including $100.00, the Late Payment Fee is $19 the first time your payment is late; and, if 
another payment is late during the next 6 billing cycles, the Late Payment Fee is $19. 

If your Outstanding Balance on your payment Due Date is more than $100.00 up to and including $1000.00, the Late Payment Fee is $25 the first time your pay-
ment is late; and, if another payment is late during the next 6 billing cycles, the Late Payment Fee is $29.

If your Outstanding Balance on your payment Due Date is more than $1000.00, the Late Payment Fee is $25 the first time your payment is late; and, if another pay-
ment is late during the next 6 billing cycles, the Late Payment Fee is $35.

Over the Credit Limit Fee
None.

Returned Payment Fee
Up to $25. The Returned Payment Fee will not exceed the amount of your Minimum Payment Due.

Required Insurance, Debt Cancellation or Debt Suspension Coverage: 
None.

advance, purchases, etc.); and

•  Interest Charges may be restored back to the payment date at the 

APR for that transaction.

INTEREST RATES 

ABOUT YOUR APRs
Your APRs are shown in Part 2. 
A Daily Periodic Rate is used to determine your Interest Charges in any billing 
cycle. To determine this rate, we divide your APR by 365; then round this 
number up to the next hundred thousandth of a percentage point.

PROMOTIONAL OR INTRODUCTORY APR
We may offer you special Promotional or Introductory APRs from time 
to time. If we do, we will tell you:
• the eligible transaction types; 
• how long this APR will last; and
• any other special terms of the offer.

HOW A VARIABLE RATE MAY CHANGE
Your variable APRs can change with each monthly billing cycle. 

We will apply each APR to the applicable balance for each type of 
transaction. Each variable APR will be equal to:
a) the amount shown in Part 2 (“Spread”); plus
b) the U.S. “Prime Rate” as defined below.

The Prime Rate will be as shown in the Money Rates table of The Wall 
Street Journal that is in effect on the last day of the month. 

Any changes in the Prime Rate will take effect on the first day of your 
billing cycle beginning in the next month.

An increase in the U.S. Prime Rate will increase your Daily Periodic 
Rates. It may also increase your:
• Interest Due; and/or
• Minimum Payment Due.

ABOUT THE PENALTY APR
If you do not make your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due 
Date, we may increase your APRs to the Penalty APR.

If this occurs:
•  we will provide advance notice before the Penalty APR goes into effect; 
•  once the Penalty APR goes into effect, if you make your Minimum 
Payment Due by the Payment Due Date for the next six consecutive 
billing cycles, your rates will return to the non-Penalty APRs that 
apply to your Account; and

•  if you do not make the next six consecutive minimum payments 
by the Payment Due Date, we may keep the Penalty APR on your 
Account indefinitely.

INTEREST CHARGES 

HOW INTEREST CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
To determine your periodic Interest Charges on each billing statement, we:

•  determine the Average Daily Balance for each type of transaction; 

(for example, purchases, balance transfers, and cash advances); then

• multiply this number by the applicable Daily Periodic Rate; then
•  multiply this number by the total number of days in the billing cycle.

We use the applicable Daily Periodic Rate in effect on the billing 
statement closing date.

HOW DAILY BALANCE IS DETERMINED
To determine your Daily Balance, we:
•  take the beginning balance for each type of transaction that day; then
• add the following that were incurred on that day:
  a) any new transactions;
  b) any previous day’s periodic Interest Charges;
  c) any Finance Charges; and
  d)  any fees and charges, including any credit insurance premiums or 

debt cancelation fees, if these apply; then

• subtract any payments and/or credits.

We also make any needed adjustments. For example:
•  If a transaction posts after, but occurs before the start of a billing 

cycle, we may adjust the amount above to include this transaction. 
It will be included as of the first day of the billing cycle in which it 
posts.

•  If your Account is subject to a grace period during the billing cycle, 
your payments will be subtracted from all Daily Balances in the 
current billing cycle.

•  If a transaction for a returned payment or a dispute resolved in our favor 
posts after the beginning of the billing cycle, we will make this adjustment: 
-  the applicable Daily Balance(s) and any related Interest Charge 

calculations will be adjusted to include the transaction amount as 
of the date of the original payment or transaction. 

To calculate your Average Daily Balance, we:
• add the Daily Balances for each day of the billing cycle; then
• divide this total by the number of days in the billing cycle.

PAYING INTEREST
Your Account has a grace period on purchases. Periodic Interest 
Charges begin accruing on purchases, balance transfers, cash 
advances, and credit card checks on the date of the transaction and 
continue to accrue until your balance is paid in full. However, no 
Interest will be charged on new purchases for any billing cycle when:
•  you paid your entire New Balance in the previous month on time; and
• you pay your entire current month’s balance on time as well.

TREATMENT OF FEES AND INTEREST
Any fees or Interest will be added to your Purchase balance unless 
otherwise stated in this Agreement.

MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE
If you are charged Interest, the charge will be no less than the 
Minimum Interest Charge listed in Part 2. The Minimum Interest 
Charge will be allocated to each balance category subject to an Interest 
Charge.

BALANCE TRANSFER FEE
This fee is shown in Part 2. This fee:
• applies to balance transfers and credit card checks; and
•  is charged as of the date the transfer or check posts to your Account; and
• is added to the same balance as the balance transfer; and
• is a Finance Charge.

CASH ADVANCE FEE 
This fee is shown in Part 2. It applies to:
• cash you get over the counter (e.g., at a bank);
• cash you get at an ATM; and
•  other “cash-like” transactions (such as money orders, traveler’s 

checks, casino chips, or lottery tickets).

This fee is:
• charged as of the date the transaction posts to your Account; and
• added to the cash advance balance; and
• a Finance Charge.

FEES AND LIMITS
The fees that apply to your Account are shown in the Purchase balance 
unless otherwise stated in this Agreement. 

If charging any fee shown in Part 2 would exceed first-year fee limits 
set by law, we may charge an amount allowed by law. If we do this, it 
does not affect our ability to charge the full fee amount later.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS: 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: 

Capital One
PO Box 5253
Carol Stream, IL 60197-5253 

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.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter

When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
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.  You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases 
made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that 
accesses your credit card account do not qualify.

2.  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: 

  Capital One
  PO Box 5253
  Carol Stream, IL 60197-5253 

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.
