This Consumer Credit Card Agreement and Disclosure together with the Account Opening Disclosure and any other
Account opening documents or any subsequent documents provided to You related to this Account (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “Agreement”) govern the terms and conditions of this Account. “We,” “Us,” “Our” and “Ours” and
“Credit Union” refers to Vantage West Credit Union with which this Agreement is made. “You,” “Your,” and “Yours” refers
to each applicant and co-applicant for the Account; any person responsible for paying the Account; and anyone You

this Agreement and includes Your Card.
1. USING YOUR ACCOUNT — By using the Account or keeping the Card, You agree to the terms of this Agreement.
in accordance with this Agreement. Your Account must only be used for lawful
You agree to use Your Account
transactions.
2. CREDIT LIMIT — We may establish a credit limit as part of this Agreement, which You promise not to exceed. If You
exceed the credit limit, You promise to repay immediately the amount which exceeds the credit limit, including amounts
due to finance charges, fees or other charges. You may request a credit limit increase on Your Account only by a method
acceptable to the Credit Union. We may increase or decrease Your credit limit, refuse to make an advance and/or
terminate Your Account at any time for any reason permitted by law.
3. REPAYMENT — Each month You must pay at least the minimum payment shown on Your statement by the date
specified on the statement. You may pay more frequently, pay more than the minimum payment or pay the total new

month Your account has a balance (other than a credit balance). For our Visa Signature Connect Rewards card, the
minimum payment is 3.00% of Your total new balance, or $30.00, whichever is greater, plus the amount of any prior
minimum payments that You have not made, all outstanding unpaid fees and charges, and any amount You are over Your

Your available credit limit on the date they are received. The Credit Union may delay replenishing Your credit limit until the
date the payment is posted or the Credit Union confirms the payment has cleared.

arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement will be brought and enforced exclusively in either: (1) the
competent courts of Arizona or (2) subject to Our sole and absolute election, the competent courts of any other state
(such as any other state in which any collateral for the loan is located or in which You reside) that affect the enforcement
of Our remedies under this Agreement. You hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court(s) and waive any
right You may have to request a change of venue or a removal to another court or to collaterally attack any judgment
obtained or action taken by Us in connection therewith. You further consent and agree to service of any summons,

INTEREST AND FINANCE CHARGES — We will begin charging You interest on purchases on the date the
7.
transaction is posted to Your Account. We will begin charging You interest on cash advances and balance transfers on
the date of the transaction or the first day of the billing cycle in which the transaction is posted to Your Account, whichever
is later (transaction date). However, We will not charge You any interest on new purchases if Your Account had a zero or
credit balance at the beginning of that billing cycle, or You paid the entire new balance on the previous cycle's billing
statement by the Payment Due Date of
finance charge on the balance of
purchases, You must pay the entire new balance on the billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement.

that statement. To avoid an additional

How We Calculate Your Balance:
Interest charges on Your Account are calculated separately for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances
(“Transaction Type”). We figure the interest charge for each Transaction Type by applying the periodic rate to each
corresponding “average daily balance.” To get the “average daily balance” for a Transaction Type We take the beginning
balance for that Transaction Type each day, add any new transactions of that type, and subtract any unpaid interest or
other finance charges and any applicable payments or credits. This gives Us the daily balance for each Transaction Type.
Then, for each Transaction Type, We add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide each total by the
number of days in the billing cycle. This gives Us the “average daily balance” for each Transaction Type.
8. FEES — In addition to the periodic rate, additional fees may be imposed on Your Account. If applicable to Your
the fee amounts and explanations are disclosed on the Account Opening Disclosure accompanying this
Account,
Agreement.
9. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS — Purchases and cash advances made in foreign currencies will be debited from Your
Account in U.S. dollars. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing
international transactions is a rate selected by Visa from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the
applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives or the government-mandated
rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The exchange rate used on the processing date may differ from
the rate that would have been used on the purchase date or cardholder statement posting date.
A fee (finance charge), calculated in U.S. dollars, will be imposed on all foreign transactions, including purchases, cash
advances, and credits to Your Account. A foreign transaction is any transaction that You complete or a merchant
completes on Your Card outside of the United States, with the exception of U.S. military bases, U.S. territories, U.S.
embassies, or U.S. consulates. Transactions completed by merchants outside of the United States are considered foreign
transactions, regardless of whether You are located inside or outside the United States at the time of the transaction. The
Foreign Transaction Fee is set forth on the Account Opening Disclosure accompanying this Agreement.
10. AUTHORIZATIONS — We do not guarantee authorization of a transaction, either by Us or by a third party, even if
You have sufficient credit available. You agree that We will not be liable for failing to give an authorization. We also
reserve the right to limit the number of transactions that may be approved in one day. We reserve the right to deny certain
transactions for any reason and at Our sole discretion, including for default, suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity,
internet gambling or any indication of increased risk related to the transaction or the Account. You agree that We have no
requirement to notify You of the specific reason We denied a transaction. If We detect unusual or suspicious activity, We
may suspend Your credit privileges until We can verify the activity, or We may close the Account.
11. PREAUTHORIZED CHARGES — If You default, if the Card is lost or stolen, or We change the Account for any
reason, We may suspend automatic charges with third party vendors. If preauthorized charges are suspended, You are
responsible for making direct payment for such charges until You contact the third party to reinstate the automatic
charges.
12. DEFAULT — You will be in default under this Agreement if You fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by its Payment
Due Date; pay by a check or similar instrument that is not honored or that We must return because it cannot be
processed; pay by automatic debit that is returned unpaid; make any false or misleading statements in any credit
application or credit update; file for bankruptcy; or die. You will also be in default if You fail to comply with the terms of this
Agreement or any other Agreement You have with Us.
If You default, We may close Your Account and require You to pay any unpaid balance immediately, subject to applicable
law. In this Agreement and on Your Credit Card Application, You gave Us a security interest in all individual or joint share
and/or deposit accounts with the Credit Union and authorized Us, if You defaulted, to apply the balance in these accounts
to any amounts due. You agree We may rely on Your agreement and authorization to, upon Your default, apply any
balance to any amounts due on Your Account.
13. LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE-LOST/STOLEN CARD NOTIFICATION — If You notice the loss or theft of
Your credit card or a possible unauthorized use of Your Card, You should write to Us immediately at PO Box 15115,
Tucson, AZ, 85708-0115 or call Us at (520) 298-7882, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or (520) 751-7070 or
(800) 269-7070, select option #4, seven days a week 24 hours a day.
You will not be liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after You notify Us. You may, however, be liable for
unauthorized use that occurs before Your notice to Us. You will have no liability for unauthorized use unless You are
found to be fraudulent or negligent in the handling of Your Account or Card. In any case, Your liability for unauthorized
transactions will not exceed $50.

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 the address listed on 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 three 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 or electronically. 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. 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 ATM 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 or electronically at
the address listed on 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.

Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver  

No cardholder wants to incur the expense of repairing or replacing a rented car. But accidents do happen, 
and vehicles do get stolen. No matter what happens to Your rental car, You can be covered with Auto 
Rental Collision Damage Waiver.  Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver reimburses You for damages 
caused by theft or collision -- up to the Actual Cash Value of most rented cars. Auto Rental Collision 
Damage Waiver covers no other type of loss.  For example, in the event of a collision involving Your 
rented vehicle, damage to any other driver’s car or the injury of anyone or anything is not covered. Rental 
periods of fifteen (15) consecutive days within Your country of residence, and thirty-one (31) consecutive 
days outside it, are both covered. (Longer rental periods, however, are not covered.)     

You are eligible for this benefit if Your name is embossed on an eligible card issued in the United States 
and You use it to initiate and complete Your entire car rental transaction. Only You as the primary car 
renter and any additional drivers permitted by the Rental Car Agreement are covered. 

How Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver works with other insurance  

Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver covers theft, damage, valid loss-of-use charges imposed and 
substantiated by the auto rental company, administrative fees and reasonable and customary towing 
charges, due to a covered theft or damage to the nearest qualified repair facility.  

If You do have personal automobile insurance or other insurance that covers theft or damage, this benefit 
reimburses You for the deductible portion of Your car insurance or other insurance, along with any 
unreimbursed portion of administrative and loss-of-use charges imposed by the car rental company, as 
well as reasonable towing charges while the car was Your responsibility. 

If You do not have personal automobile insurance or any other insurance, the benefit reimburses You for 
covered theft, damage, or administrative and loss-of-use charges imposed by the rental company, as well 
as reasonable towing charges that occur while You are responsible for the vehicle. 

If You are renting outside of Your country of residence, the coverage provided under this benefit is 
primary and reimburses You for covered theft, damage, or administrative and loss-of-use charges 
imposed by the rental company, as well as reasonable towing charges that occur while You are responsible 
for the vehicle. 

How to use Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver  

1.  Use Your card to initiate and complete Your entire car rental transaction.  
2.  Review the auto rental agreement and decline the rental company’s collision damage waiver 
(CDW/LDW) option, or a similar provision, as accepting this coverage will cancel out 
Your benefit. If the rental company insists that You purchase their insurance or collision 
damage waiver, call the Benefit Administrator for assistance at 1-800-348-8472.  
Outside the United States, call collect at 1-804-673-1164. 

Before You leave the lot, be sure to check the car for any prior damage. 

This benefit is in effect during the time the rental car is in Your (or an authorized driver’s) control, and it 
terminates when the rental company reassumes control of their vehicle. 

This benefit is available in the United States and most foreign countries (with the exception of Israel, 
Jamaica, the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland). However, this benefit is not available 
where precluded by law, or where it’s in violation of the territory terms of the auto rental agreement, or 
when prohibited by individual merchants. Because regulations vary outside the United States, 

1 | P a g e  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
     
 
 
 
check with Your auto rental company and the Benefit Administrator before You travel, to 
be sure that Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver will apply. 

Vehicles not covered    

Certain vehicles are not covered by this benefit, they consist of: expensive, exotic, and antique cars; cargo 
vans; certain vans; vehicles with an open cargo bed; trucks; motorcycles; mopeds; motorbikes; 
limousines; and recreational vehicles. 

Examples of expensive or exotic cars are the Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Bentley, Corvette, Ferrari, Jaguar, 
Lamborghini, Lotus, Maserati, Maybach, McLaren, Porsche, Rolls Royce, and Tesla. However, selected 
models of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Infiniti, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, and Range Rover 
are covered.  

An antique car is defined as one that is over twenty (20) years old, or one that has not been manufactured 
for ten (10) years or more.  

Vans are not covered. But those designed as small-group transportation vehicles (seating up to nine (9) 
people, including the driver) are covered. 

If You have questions about a specific vehicle’s coverage or organization where the vehicle 
is being reserved, call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-348-8472, or call collect outside 
the United States at 1-804-673-1164.

Extended Warranty Protection  

Product warranties can be inconvenient and cumbersome to use. Let’s say You purchased a great gadget 
about a year ago, but it just stopped working, and You can’t find Your sales receipt and warranty 
information. For all too common situations like these, Extended Warranty Protection can help.   

Extended Warranty Protection provides You with valuable features that help You manage, use and extend 
the warranties for eligible items purchased on Your covered Account and/or rewards program associated 
with Your covered Account.  Services include Warranty Registration and Extended Protection.   You are 
eligible for this benefit if You are a cardholder of an eligible card issued in the United States and You  
purchase either a portion or the entire cost of the item using Your Account and/or rewards program 
associated with Your covered Account.   

Here’s how Warranty Registration works 

When You purchase an eligible item that carries a manufacturer’s warranty, You can register Your 
purchase by calling 1-800-551-8472 or call collect outside the U.S. at 1-303-967-1096. You can 
also register Your purchase online at www.cardbenefitservices.com. 

The Benefit Administrator will tell You where to send Your item’s sales receipt and warranty information, 
so they can be kept on file should You need them.  

If You choose not to register Your item, be sure to keep Your monthly billing statement reflecting the 
purchase, the itemized sales receipt, the original manufacturer’s written U.S. warranty and any additional 
warranty in a safe place. These documents will be required to verify Your claim.  

Here’s how Extended Protection works 

Your warranty coverage can be doubled up to one (1) additional year on eligible warranties of three (3) 
years or less. For example, a manufacturer’s warranty of three (3) months would be provided with an 
additional three (3) months of coverage for a combined total of six (6) months of coverage, and a warranty 
for six (6) months would be provided with an additional six (6) months of coverage for a combined total of 
twelve (12) months of coverage. However, if the manufacturer’s warranty is for three (3) years, it would 
only be extended one (1) additional year for a combined total of four (4) years of coverage.   

This benefit is limited to no more than the original price of the purchased item (as shown on Your  
credit card receipt), less shipping and handling fees, up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars 
($10,000.00) per claim, and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder.  

The benefit covers purchases made both inside and outside the U.S.  The eligible item must have a valid 
original manufacturer’s U.S. repair warranty of three (3) years or less, store-purchased dealer warranty, 
or an assembler warranty. 

What Extended Protection does not cover 

•  Boats, automobiles, aircraft, and any other motorized vehicles and their motors, equipment, or 

accessories, including trailers and other items that can be towed by or attached to any motorized 
vehicle 

•  Any costs other than those specifically covered under the terms of the original manufacturer’s 

written U.S. repair warranty, as supplied by the original manufacturer, or other eligible warranty 
Items purchased for resale, professional, or commercial use 

•

to, items that are hard-wired or hard-plumbed, garage doors, garage door openers, and ceiling

•  Computer software 
•  Medical equipment 
•  Used or pre-owned items (Refurbished items will be covered as long as it has a warranty with it 

and would not be considered used or pre-owned.)

To file a claim, call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-551-8472 or call collect outside the U.S. at 
1-303-967-1096, immediately after the failure of Your covered item. Please note if You do not

be denied.  

The Benefit Administrator will request preliminary claim information, direct You to the appropriate 
repair facility, and send You the claim form.  Gift recipients of eligible items are also covered, but they 
must provide all the documents needed to substantiate their claim. 

If You received or purchased a service contract or an extended warranty when You purchased Your item, 
this benefit will be supplemental to, and in excess of, that coverage.
