Your due date is at least 23 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you any

We will begin charging interest on promotional purchases on the purchase date.

If you are charged interest, the charge will be no less than $2.

• Late Payment

Up to $37

How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called “daily balance”. See your credit card account agreement below for  
more details.

SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION

How Interest Is Calculated

Your Interest Rate

We use a daily rate to calculate the interest on the balance on your account each day. The daily rate for purchases is the 
APR times 1/365. The daily rate for purchases is .08216% (APR 29.99%). Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates 
not in excess of those permitted by applicable law.

When We Charge Interest  We  charge  interest  on  your  purchases  from  the  date  you  make  the  purchase  until  you  pay  the  purchase  in  full.  See 

exceptions below.

•  We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any non-promotional 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 always charge interest on promotional purchases and their related fees from the date you make the purchase.

•  We  will  credit,  as  of  the  start  of  the  billing  cycle,  any  payment  you  make  by  the  due  date  that  we  allocate  to  non-

promotional 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.

How We Calculate Interest 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 and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or special promotions. See below for more 
details on 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; and
(b)  debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each 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. Interest, as calculated above, is 
added as applicable to each balance type. Minimum interest charges in excess of the calculated interest are treated as 
new purchases.

How Fees Work

Late Payment 
Fee

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. $27, if you have paid your total minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles.

OR

2. $37, 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.

1

 
 
 
 
Minimum Payment Calculation 
Your total minimum payment is calculated as follows.

The sum of:

a.   For the new balance shown on your billing statement (excluding any balance attributable to a special promotional purchase with a unique payment 

calculation), the greater of:
(i)   $25; or
(ii)    The sum of 1% of your new balance shown on your billing statement plus interest and late payment fees charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS

b.  Any past due amounts; PLUS
c.  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.

Credit Limit. You will be assigned a credit limit that we may increase or decrease from time to time. If we approve a purchase that makes you go over your

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 certain dealers/merchants/retailers that accept the card and payments. 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

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.

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.
•  What claims are subject to arbitration

1. If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you or any other user of your account, and 

us, our affiliates, agents and/or providers that accept the card or program sponsors if it relates to your account, except as noted below. 

2. We will not require you to arbitrate: (1) any individual case in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so long as it remains an individual case 
in that court; or (2) a case we file to collect money you owe us. However, if you respond to the collection lawsuit by claiming any wrongdoing, we may 
require you to arbitrate.

3. Notwithstanding any other language in this section, only a court, not an arbitrator, will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or 
scope of this section or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the next paragraph of this section and/or this sentence). However, any dispute or 
argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.

•  No Class Actions

YOU  AGREE  NOT  TO  PARTICIPATE  IN  A  CLASS,  REPRESENTATIVE  OR  PRIVATE  ATTORNEY  GENERAL  ACTION  AGAINST  US  IN 
COURT OR ARBITRATION. ALSO, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS NOT A 
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. 
If a court determines that this paragraph is not fully enforceable, only this sentence will remain in force and the remainder will be null and void, and the 
court’s determination shall be subject to appeal. This paragraph does not apply to any lawsuit or administrative proceeding filed against us by a state or 
federal government agency even when such agency is seeking relief on behalf of a class of borrowers, including you. This means that we will not have the 
right to compel arbitration of any claim brought by such an agency.

•  How to start an arbitration, and the arbitration process

1.  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 an arbitration administrator, which can be either the American Arbitration 
Association (AAA), 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, www.adr.org, (800) 778-7879, or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, 
New  York,  NY  10018,  www.jamsadr.com,  (800)  352-5267.  If  neither  administrator  is  able  or  willing  to  handle  the  dispute,  then  the  court  will 
appoint an arbitrator.

2.  If a party files a lawsuit in court asserting claim(s) that are subject to arbitration and the other party files a motion with the court to compel arbitration, 

which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party asserting the claim(s) to commence the arbitration proceeding.

3.  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. Once appointed, the arbitrator must apply the same law and legal principles, consistent with the FAA, that would apply in court, but 
may use different procedural rules. If the administrator’s rules conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

4.  The arbitration will take place by phone or at a reasonably convenient location. If you ask us to, we will pay all the fees the administrator or arbitrator 
charges, as long as we believe you are acting in good faith. We will always pay arbitration costs, as well as your legal fees and costs, to the extent you 
prevail on claims you assert against us in an arbitration proceeding which you have commenced. 

•  Governing Law for Arbitration
  This Arbitration section of your Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant under the 
FAA. The arbitrator’s decision 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.

•  How to reject this section
  You may reject this Arbitration section of your Agreement. If you do that, only a court may be used to resolve any dispute or claim. To 
reject this section, you must send us a notice within 60 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 and account number, and must be mailed to Synchrony Bank, P.O. Box 965012, 
Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only way you can reject this section.

This section of the agreement includes state notices, billing rights summary and rewards terms (if applicable) and is not required to be provided as part of the 
credit card agreement posted online or provided to the CFPB.
