Using Your Account 

(4) Using Your Account. You may use your consumer credit card Account for Purchases, Balance Transfers, Cash Advances and any other transactions we allow. 
You  promise  to  use  your  Account  only  for  lawful  personal,  family,  or  household  purposes.  We  reserve  the  right  to  deny  transactions  or  authorizations  from

merchants who may be engaging in the internet gambling business. We are not responsible for anyone who refuses to accept your Card or any other Credit Access 
Device. We may decline any transaction at any time. Your credit card may not be used to make a payment on any other Wells Fargo credit account. 

Cash  Advances  from  ATMs.  Cash  Advances  from ATMs may be  limited  by  amount  or  frequency.  The  ATM  owner  may  have  additional  restrictions. If  the  ATM 

owner charges any fee, that fee will be included as part of the total Cash Advance amount. 

Cash Advances for Overdraft Protection. You may elect to have an automatic Cash Advance from your Account to cover an overdraft on a linked Wells Fargo 
checking account. To cover an overdraft on a linked Wells Fargo checking account, we will advance the greater of 

◦  the amount of your overdraft; or 

◦  $25.00 

Except if 

◦  the amount of available credit on your Card is less than the amount of the overdraft or less than $25.00, we will then advance the amount of available credit.

The APR and fees that apply to overdraft protection advances are listed in the Important Terms of Your Credit Card Account. Overdraft protection advances, interest 

and fees may cause your Account balance to exceed your revolving line of credit. If there is more than one person listed on the checking account (such as a joint 
checking account) that you have linked for overdraft protection, then: 

◦  You will be responsible for all overdraft protection advances regardless of which person writes the check or engages in any other transaction (such as a debit 

card purchase) that causes the overdraft; and 

◦  You agree to allow us to disclose to any other person on your checking account, that this Card is linked to your checking account for overdraft protection. 

We reserve the right to cancel, suspend, or change your overdraft protection service at any time, for any reason. 

Credit Access Devices. SUPERCHECKS can be used to access your Account similar to writing a check on a deposit account. SUPERCHECKS checks will post as 

a Balance Transfer only when they are included with a Balance Transfer offer. If a SUPERCHECKS check is not included with a Balance Transfer offer it will post as 
a Cash Advance. They will include transaction fees and interest. 

Some restrictions apply to SUPERCHECKS: 

◦  They may not be written as payment on any Wells Fargo account. 

◦  They may be used only by the person whose name is printed on the check. 

◦  They must be written in U.S. dollars. 

◦  They cannot be certified. 

◦  You  cannot  file  a  claim  against  the  bank  when  you  have  a  dispute  with  a  merchant  about  payment  for  property  or  services  that  you  paid  for  using  a 

SUPERCHECKS check. 

◦  We reserve the right to put conditions on the use of SUPERCHECKS checks and to reject, decline and return unpaid any SUPERCHECKS check or advance at 

our discretion. 

Third Party/Mobile Devices.  You or an authorized user may be permitted to load your credit card to an app on a smart phone, tablet or other electronic device, 
such as, through a mobile wallet, which could be used for purchases or other transactions without presenting the card. Any such Transactions are covered by this 

Agreement. We have no control over the device and cannot guarantee the performance of the device. 

Additionally: 

◦  You should protect the security of the device the same as your credit card or other valuable information. 

◦  There may be third party fees related to the transaction such as mobile carrier data or messaging charges. 

◦  We may, at any time, partially or fully restrict your ability to make credit transactions through a third party/mobile device. You agree to notify us promptly if you 

remove or want to remove your Account information from any third party/mobile device. 

(5) Authorized Users. If you wish to have an additional Card issued in another person's name, please contact us and we will send you a Card with the name of the 

authorized  person  embossed  on  the  front  of  the  Card.  You  are  responsible  for  payment  of  the  entire  amount  owed  to  us,  including  any  Purchases,  Balance 
Transfers or Cash Advances (and all related interest and fees) made by the authorized person. 

Ending Authorized User Privileges. If you want to end an authorized user's privilege to use your Account, you must: 

◦  Recover and destroy that person's Card. If you do not, you will continue to be liable for any charges made, even if you've advised us of your wish to cancel the 

privileges, unless you tell us to cancel all Cards and establish a new Account for you. 

◦  You must notify us of your request by contacting us at the number on the back of your Card or by mail at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., P.O. Box 10347, Des Moines, 

IA 50306-0347. 

In general, an authorized person is not obligated on this Account and is not liable for any Outstanding Balance or any other charges made by you or by any other 

authorized person. In the event of the death of all fully liable cardholders, authorized users' privilege ends automatically. After that, if any person uses the Card, such 
use indicates his or her agreement to pay us, and we may, at our discretion, pursue the person for payment of any Outstanding Balance or any other charges they 

authorize. You agree to notify each authorized person that they are subject to all applicable sections of this Agreement. 

Information  about  Authorized  Users.  You  agree  to  give  us  certain  personal  information  about  each  authorized  user.  You  must  have  permission  from  each 
authorized user allowing you to give us that personal information. This may include name, address, social security number, date of birth and citizenship. 

(6)  Lost or Stolen Cards and Liability for Unauthorized Use, and Zero Liability Protection. You must notify us immediately if your Card or account information 

is lost or stolen, or if you believe it's being used without your permission. You may contact us by phone at 800-642-4720 or in writing at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., P.O. 
Box 10347, Des Moines, IA 50306-0347. You agree to assist us in our investigation of the matter. If you do this and we find you not responsible, you will not be held 

liable for the unauthorized use of your Account.

(7) Promise to Pay. When you use your Account or let someone else use it, you promise to pay the total amount of the Purchases, Cash Advances, and Balance 

Transfers, plus all interest, fees and other amounts that you may owe us. We may limit or close your Account, but the terms of this Agreement will apply until you 
pay the Account in full. 

(8) Revolving Line of Credit.  We may assign the following limits to your Account: 

Cash Advance Limit. We may restrict the amount of your revolving line of credit that can be used for Cash Advances. 

Your total revolving line of credit will be provided with your Credit Card and shows on each of your billing statements. You promise to use your Account only to the 
limits. If you exceed your total revolving line of credit, we may allow the transaction without increasing your total revolving line of credit or deny the transaction. If we 

allow the transaction, we may treat that over limit amount as due with the minimum payment on your next statement. If you exceed the limits, you will still remain 
liable for all credit you receive. We can adjust your revolving line of credit at any time, including automatic credit line increases for those who qualify. 

(9)  Authorizations.  We  don't  guarantee  approval  of  transactions.  We  reserve  the  right  to  deny  transactions  for  any  reason,  such  as  account  default,  suspected 

fraudulent  or  unlawful  activity,  internet  gambling,  or  any  indication  of  increased  risk  related  to  the  transaction.  If  you  engage  in  abuse,  misuse  or  gaming  in 
connection with earning or using points or attempt to do so, we may close or restrict your Wells Fargo credit card(s). Abuse, misuse or gaming includes, but is not 

limited  to,  making  multiple  purchases  and  multiple  payments  during  a  billing  cycle  whereby  the  dollar  amount  for  each  purchase  in  the  aggregate  substantially 
exceeds your revolving line of credit.  We also may limit the number of authorizations we allow during a period of time. 

Transactions at some merchants (such as hotels, car rental companies, restaurants, and gas stations) may result in temporary authorizations for amounts greater 

than  the  actual  Purchase  amount.  This  will  make  less  credit  available  on  your  Account  for  several  days,  usually  until  the  date  the  actual  Purchase  amount  is 
received from the merchant. 

If you give your credit card information to a merchant to bill your account for recurring payments, or to keep it on file for future purchases or payments, and your card 

number, expiration date, or security code changes, you should notify the merchant with your new card information. Some card networks provide update services and 
receive  updated  card  information  from  Wells  Fargo.  Merchants  that  participate  in  such  services  will  receive  updated  card  information  from  the  network  for  credit 

cards  that  you  have  provided  to  the  merchant  for  recurring  or  future  purchases  or  payments.   We  cannot  tell  you  which  merchant  will  receive  updated  card 
information  when  your  card  information  changes.  You  should  always  provide  each  merchant  with  your  new  card  information  because  some  merchants  do  not 

subscribe to such network services.

Changes To This Agreement 

(10) Change in Terms. We may change this Agreement at any time. These changes may apply to existing and future balances. We will give you advance written 

notice of the changes and a right to reject the changes if required by law. We may require you to close your Account or take other actions if you reject the changes. 

Back to top 

Fees And Interest 

(11) Fees.  The following fees may apply to your account. If they do apply, you will find the amount in the Important Terms of Your Credit Card Account. You agree 

to pay any fees that apply. 

◦  Balance Transfer Fee. This fee may be charged on a Balance Transfer transaction. 

◦  Cash Advance Fee. This fee may be charged on a Cash Advance from your Account. 

◦  Overdraft Protection Advance Fee. This fee may be charged when an overdraft amount is advanced to the checking account linked to your Credit Card Account 

by you. 

◦  Foreign Currency Conversion Fee. If you make a transaction in a foreign currency, Visa will convert it into a U.S. dollar amount. A foreign currency conversion 

fee may be charged when this is done. 

◦  Late Fee. This fee may be charged each time we do not receive the required Minimum Payment due by the Payment Due Date. 

◦  Returned Check or Returned Payment Fee. This fee may be charged when a payment is not processed the first time or is returned unpaid. 

◦  Rush Plastic Fee. This fee may be charged if you requested expedited delivery for your credit card. 

Additional fees may be charged if agreed between you and us. All fees will be added to the Purchases balance, except Cash Advance fees which will be added to 

the Cash Advance balance on your Account. 

(12) Foreign Currency Transactions. 

If you make a transaction in a currency other than U.S. dollars using a Visa Card, then Visa International "Visa" will convert the charge into a U.S. dollar amount. 

The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is either (a) a rate selected by Visa from 
the 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 (b) 

the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The currency conversion rate for the processing date may differ from the rate in 
effect on the date of the transaction or the date the transaction is posted to your Account.

Point of Sale Conversion. Some merchants outside the United States offer cardholders the option of having Card transactions converted to U.S. dollars by Visa, as 

described  above,  or  by  the  merchant  itself.  If  the  latter  option  is  chosen,  the  currency  conversion  rate  is  determined  solely  by  the  merchant  involved  in  the 
transaction, and no foreign currency conversion fee is charged by the bank for the transaction. 

(13) Rates. The following sections describe how we calculate the interest you owe each Billing Period. The Important Terms of Your Credit Card Account list the 

APRs that apply to different types of balances. 

Introductory Rates. Your account may be eligible for introductory rates. This would be described in the Important Terms of Your Credit Card Account. If you are 
offered a promotional rate  after your account is opened, the terms  will be  provided at that time. After any introductory or promotional rates expire, the remaining 
balances will be subject to the applicable Standard or Standard Variable APR terms. 

How we Calculate your Standard Variable APRs. If your account has a variable rate the APR will vary based on the U.S. Prime Rate plus the applicable "Margin". 

See the Important Terms of Your Credit Card Account for the "Margin" on Purchases, Balance Transfers, Cash Advances, and overdraft protection advances, and 
daily periodic rates that apply to your Account. For each Billing Period, we use the U.S. Prime Rate or the average of the U.S. Prime Rates (if there is more than 

one) published in the "Money Rates" column of The Wall Street Journal three business days prior to your billing statement closing date. If the U.S. Prime Rate is no 
longer published or is not available, we may select a similar index. A change in the APR may increase or decrease the total amount of interest you pay and your 

Minimum Payment due. If the APR changes due to a change in the U.S. Prime Rate, the new APR will apply to both existing and future balances on the first day of 
your Billing Cycle. The APR will continue to vary even if your Account is closed. 

Standard APRs. If your Account is subject to Standard APRs, the Standard APRs will not vary with the market based on the U. S. Prime Rate. However, we may 

change the Standard APRs from time to time in accordance with the Change In Terms information described in section 10. The rates that apply to your account are 
listed in the Important Terms of Your Credit Card Account. 

Daily Periodic Rates. The daily periodic rates are calculated by dividing each applicable APR by 365. 

(14)  Minimum  Interest  Charge.  Your  account  may  have  a  Minimum  Interest  Charge.  See  The  Important  Terms  of  Your  Credit  Card  Account  for  the  applicable 

charge. 

(15) When we Charge Interest. For most transactions, interest will be charged beginning on the date a transaction is made on your account. We charge interest on 
a fee beginning on the first day of the Billing Cycle following the Billing Cycle in which the fee posted to your Account. 

(16)  Here's how and when specific Transactions, fees and credits are applied: 

◦  We add the amount of a Purchase or Balance Transfer to the Purchase balance as of the transaction date shown on your statement. 

◦  We add Balance Transfer fees to the Purchase balance as of the transaction date shown on your statement. 

◦  We add the amount of a Cash Advance to the Cash Advance balance as of the transaction date shown on your statement. 

◦  We add Cash Advance Fees to the Cash Advance balance as of the transaction date shown on your statement. 

◦  We add the amount of any Overdraft Protection advance to the Cash Advance balance as of the transaction date shown on your statement. 

(17)  How  we  Calculate  Interest.  We  begin  by  calculating  the  daily  balance  of  each  Transaction  category.  Next  we  calculate  the  Average  Daily  Balance  (ADB). 
Finally, we calculate the interest. See each section below for details. 

1. 

Calculating the daily balance: the daily balance is calculated separately for each Transaction category. We start with the daily balance from the end 
of the previous day. We add in any new Transactions and other charges, including interest accrued on the previous day's balance. This means interest 

is compounded daily. We then subtract any payments or credits. 

Example for the Purchase Transaction category: 
Daily balance for purchases from the previous day 

+ New purchases 
+ Fees and interest accrued on the previous day's Transaction category balance 
- Payments, credits and adjustments that posted that day 

= New daily balance for Purchases 

2. 

Calculating the Average Daily Balance (ADB): we add up all the daily balances for the Billing Cycle starting with the beginning balance of the first 

day  of  the  Billing  Cycle.  This  beginning  balance  will  include  any  unpaid  fees  from  the  previous  Billing  Cycle  and  any  late  fees  incurred  during  the 
current Billing Cycle. Any daily balance that is a credit balance is treated as zero. We divide this amount by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. 

ADB = sum of daily balances ÷ number of days in the Billing Cycle

The Private Bank By Invitation Visa Signature Card Account Agreement – Wells Fargo 

Page 6 of 12 

3. 

Interest Calculation: we calculate the interest charge for each type of balance by applying the daily periodic rate to the ADB and multiplying this by 
the number of days in the Billing Cycle. 

Interest Charge = daily periodic rate x ADB x number of days in Billing Cycle 

(18) Grace Period. To avoid paying interest on new Purchases you have to pay your entire New Balance by the Due Date on your statement each Billing Period. 
You cannot avoid interest on Cash Advances or Balance Transfers. Your due date will be at least 25 days from the statement closing date and will be provided on 

your billing statement. 

Back to top 

Billing Statements And Payments 

(19) Billing Statements. If you have a balance on your account you will receive a billing statement. Your billing statement will show your Minimum Payment due and 

the Payment Due Date. 

(20) Payments. You may pay all or part of your Account balance at any time, but you must pay the Minimum Payment, disclosed on your billing statement, by the 
Payment Due Date. 

Minimum Payment. Your Minimum Payment Due includes any amount past due plus the greater of: 

1.  The sum of late, returned check, returned payment, rush plastic, and annual fees and interest billed during the Billing Cycle for which the Minimum Payment 

is calculated plus 1% of the New Balance shown on the billing statement; or 

2.  $25.00 (or the entire balance on the Account if the New Balance is less than $25.00). 

We require you to pay any amount over the limit of your credit card account. However, that amount is not included in your Minimum Payment Due. 

The Minimum Payment is rounded-up to the next highest whole dollar amount. Credits will not be used to meet the Minimum Payment. 

Payment Instructions. Follow these instructions when making a payment: 

1.  You must pay in U.S. dollars. 

2.  Payment must be made with a personal check, money order or cashier's check and must be issued by a bank in the United States. 

3.  Electronic payments are accepted. 

4.  Do not mail cash. 

If  you  mail  your  payment,  please  mail  to  the  payment  address  provided  on  your  billing  statement  using  the  envelope  and  payment  coupon  enclosed.  Payments 

received  by  5:00  p.m.  at  the  location  your  payment  is  mailed  to  will  be  credited  as  of  the  date  of  receipt.  If  received  after  5:00  p.m.  they  will  be  credited  on  the 
following  day.  Payments  made  through  Wells  Fargo  Online  Banking  at  wellsfargo.com  will  be  credited  based  on  the  cutoff  time  disclosed  at  the  time  of  the 

transaction. If you do not follow these instructions your payment may not be credited for up to five days after we receive it. 

Checks  or  other  paper  documents  may  be  converted  to  an  electronic  transaction  through  procedures  established  by  the  National  Automated  Clearing  House 
Association. In this case, the original check or other document that you send to us will not be retained, but a copy would be available if requested. 

Some of your available line of credit may be held, at our discretion, until your payment is honored. 

You cannot pay this account using a Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. credit or loan account or any Wells Fargo affiliated company credit or loan account. You cannot use 

any SUPERCHECKS checks to make any payment on this Account. 

Generally,  we  will  apply  your  Minimum  Payment  first  to  lower  APR  balances  (such  as  Purchases)  before  balances  with  higher  APRs  (such  as  Cash  Advances). 
Payments made in excess of the Minimum Payment will be applied to balances with higher APRs first before balances with lower ones. 

We  post  payments  to  the  Billing  Cycle  within  which  they  are  received.  Any  payment  in  excess  of  the  Minimum  Payment  due  is  applied  based  on  the  balances 

reflected on your last billing statement. 

Irregular Payments. If you intend to pay your Account in full with an amount less than the Outstanding Balance, payments must be sent to: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 
P.O. Box 10311, Des Moines, IA 50306-0311. Please note that if we accept such payments we have every right to pursue full payment.

The Private Bank By Invitation Visa Signature Card Account Agreement – Wells Fargo 

Page 8 of 12 

1.  Binding Arbitration. You and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") agree that if a Dispute arises between you and the Bank, upon demand by either you or 
the Bank, the Dispute shall be resolved by the following arbitration process. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Bank shall not initiate an arbitration to collect 

a consumer debt, but reserves the right to arbitrate all other disputes with its consumer customers. A "Dispute" is any unresolved disagreement between 
you and the Bank. It includes any disagreement relating in any way to the Card or related services, Accounts, or matters; to your use of any of the Bank's 

banking locations or facilities; or to any means you may use to access the Bank. It includes claims based on broken promises or contracts, torts, or other 
wrongful actions. It also includes statutory, common law, and equitable claims. A Dispute also includes any disagreements about the meaning or application 

of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the payment or closure of your Account. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT 
YOU AND THE BANK ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE IN A PUBLIC COURT. As the sole exception to this 

Arbitration Agreement, you and the Bank retain the right to pursue in small claims court any Dispute that is within that court's jurisdiction. If either you or the 
Bank  fails  to  submit  to  binding  arbitration  following  lawful  demand,  the  party  so  failing  bears  all  costs  and  expenses  incurred  by  the  other  in  compelling 

arbitration. 

2.  Arbitration Procedure; Severability. Either you or the Bank may submit a Dispute to binding arbitration at any time notwithstanding that a lawsuit or other 

proceeding has been previously commenced. NEITHER YOU NOR THE BANK SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE DISPUTES BY OR 
AGAINST OTHERS IN ANY ARBITRATION, OR TO INCLUDE IN ANY ARBITRATION ANY DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A 

CLASS, OR TO ACT IN ANY ARBITRATION IN THE INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. 
Each arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator(s), shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), or such other administrator 

as  you  and  the  Bank  may  mutually  agree  to  (the  AAA  or  such  other  mutually  agreeable  administrator  to  be  referred  to  hereinafter  as  the  "Arbitration 
Administrator"),  according  to  the  Commercial  Arbitration  Rules  and  the  Supplemental  Procedures  for  Consumer  Related  Disputes  ("AAA  Rules").  To  the 

extent  that  there  is  any  variance  between  the  AAA  Rules  and  this  Arbitration  Agreement,  this  Arbitration  Agreement  shall  control.  Arbitrator(s)  must  be 
members of the state bar where the arbitration is held, with expertise in the substantive laws applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute. You and the 

Bank (the "Parties") agree that in this relationship: (1) The Parties are participating in transactions involving interstate commerce; and (2) This Arbitration 
Agreement and any resulting arbitration are governed by the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), and, to the extent 

any provision of that Act is inapplicable, unenforceable or invalid, the laws of the state of South Dakota. If any of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement 
dealing  with  class  action,  class  arbitration,  private  attorney  general  action,  other  representative  action,  joinder,  or  consolidation  is  found  to  be  illegal  or 

unenforceable, that invalid provision shall not be severable and this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be unenforceable. 

3.  Rights Preserved. This Arbitration Agreement does not prohibit the Parties from exercising any lawful rights or using other available remedies to preserve, 
foreclose, or obtain possession of real or personal property; exercise self-help remedies, including setoff and repossession rights; or obtain provisional or 

ancillary remedies such as injunctive relief, attachment, garnishment, or the appointment of a receiver by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any statute of 
limitations applicable to any Dispute applies to any arbitration between the Parties. The provisions of this Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination, 

amendment, or expiration of the Card or any other relationship between you and the Bank. 

4.  Fees  and  Expenses  of  Arbitration.  Arbitration  fees  will  be  determined  by  the  rules  or  procedures  of  the  Arbitration  Administrator,  unless  limited  by 
applicable law. Please check with the Arbitration Administrator to determine the fees applicable to any arbitration you may file. If the applicable law of the 

state in which you opened your Account limits the amount of fees and expenses to be paid by you, then no allocation of fees and expenses to you shall 
exceed this limitation. Bank will pay any costs that are required to be paid by it under the Arbitration Administrator’s rules and procedures, and subject to 
applicable law. If the arbitrator rules in your favor on any claim presented, the Bank will reimburse you for arbitration filing fees you have paid up to $700.00. 

Unless  applicable  law  states  otherwise,  each  party  will  pay  their  own  attorney,  expert,  and  witness  fees.  This  rule  applies  no  matter  which  party  wins 
arbitration. 

5.  Military Lending Act. The Arbitration Agreement may not apply to you if you are a covered borrower. Please see The Military Lending Act Notice in the 

Agreement for more information.

(32) 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: 

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 

P.O. Box 522 
Des Moines, IA 50306-0522 

In your letter, give us the following information: 

◦  Your name and Account number; 

◦  The date and dollar amount of the suspected error. 

◦  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 at the address above. You may notify using other ways (including telephone), 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 revolving line of credit. 

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 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 at: 

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 

P.O. Box 522 
Des Moines, IA 50306-0522 

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.

Active Duty Military Servicemembers and Their Dependents 

(33)  The Military Lending Act Notice:  Federal Law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of 

consumer credit. In general, the costs of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 
36 percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: the cost associated with credit insurance premiums, fees for ancillary products 

sold in connection with the credit transaction, any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts), and any 
participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account). 

You may contact us at 1-844-309-0044 for information about the Military Annual Percentage Rate and a description of your payment obligation.

How we will calculate your balance 

We use a method called "average daily balance (including new purchases)." See the Agreement for more details. 

* You are leaving Wells Fargo and entering a website that Wells Fargo does not control. Wells Fargo has provided this link for your convenience, but does not 
endorse and is not responsible for the content, links, privacy policy, or security policy of this website. 

How we will calculate your late payment and returned check or returned payment fees 

The fee will be the lesser of the Minimum Payment or $29. For any subsequent event within a rolling six billing cycle period, the fee will be the lesser of the Minimum 

Payment or $40. 

How we will calculate your variable APRs 

Unless  an  introductory  or  promotional APR is  in effect,  we  will  add a  "Margin"  to the  U.S.  Prime  Rate to  determine  your  standard  variable APR. For each billing 

period, we will use the U.S. Prime Rate, or the average of the U.S. Prime Rates if there is more than one, published in the Money Rates column of The Wall Street 
Journal three business days prior to your billing statement closing date. The APR may increase or decrease if the U.S. Prime Rate increases or decreases and this 

will also cause the related daily periodic rate to increase or decrease. An increase or decrease in the APR may increase or decrease the total amount of interest you 
pay. It may also increase or decrease the Minimum Payment due. See the Agreement for more details.
