USING YOUR ACCOUNT  

Purchases. You may use your Account to purchase goods and services from Retailer. 
You promise to pay us and are liable for all amounts resulting from the authorized use of 
your Account Number or Account, plus any applicable interest charges and other 
applicable charges or fees, payable in U.S. dollars. 

Your Credit Limit. You may not use your Account in any way that would cause you to 
go over your Credit Limit. We may refuse to authorize or accept any transaction on your 
Account if (1) that transaction would cause you to exceed your Credit Limit or (2) your 
Account is delinquent. We may temporarily agree to allow you to exceed your Credit 
Limit. If we do so, in that case, you must repay the excess amount according to the terms 
of this Agreement. Any transactions honored in excess of your Credit Limit will not result 
in an increase of your Credit Limit.

MAKING PAYMENTS 

Monthly Statements. We will send a statement at the end of each monthly Billing Cycle 
if there is a debit or credit balance on your Account of $1 or more, a balance on which an 
interest charge has been imposed or as otherwise required by applicable law. You agree 
to pay us, or any party to whom we may transfer and assign your Account or the amounts 
owing under your Account, in U.S. dollars according to all terms and conditions of this 
Agreement. Payments made by a check, money order or other negotiable instrument 
must be in a form acceptable to us and drawn on a U.S. financial institution. 

Monthly Minimum Payment. Your monthly minimum payment due will be the greater 
of: 

1.
2.

$15; or 
The sum of: 
a.

Each fixed monthly payment amount applicable to each of your 
Purchases (described below), plus 
5% of your Regular Balance.

b.

the nearest dollar. If the remaining balance of a Purchase plus accrued interest on that 
Purchase is less than the fixed monthly payment amount, we will reduce the fixed 
monthly payment amount for that Purchase accordingly. We will continue to include the 
fixed monthly payment amount for a Purchase in the monthly minimum payment due until 
the Purchase plus accrued interest on that Purchase is paid in full. 

If you make a payment in excess of the monthly minimum payment due for any month, it 
will not reduce the fixed monthly payment amount applicable to any Purchase that is 
used to calculate your monthly minimum payment due in subsequent months, but it may 
result in your paying off a Purchase more quickly. 

Your monthly minimum payment due also will
include the greater of (i) any past due 
amount, or (ii) any amount by which the New Balance exceeded your Credit Limit. Your 
monthly minimum payment due will never exceed your New Balance. 

Payments should be mailed with the payment coupon and in the envelope provided and 
following the other instructions on the monthly statement to Bankcard Services, P.O. Box 
84049, Columbus, Georgia 31908. Any payment we receive in that form and at that 
address on or before 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on a normal banking day will be credited to 
your Account that day. If we receive your payment in that form and at that address after 
5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on a normal banking day, or any time on a non-banking day, we 
will credit it to your Account
the next banking day. Please allow at least seven (7) 
business days for postal delivery. Payments we receive at any other location or in any 
other form may not be credited as of the day we receive them. If we accept a payment at 
some other place, we may delay the crediting of the payment for up to five (5) days. This 
may cause you to incur Late Payment Fees and additional
interest charges, and may 
result in your Account being declared in default. 

When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use information from 
your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account or to process 
the payment as a check transaction. When we use information from your check to make 
an electronic fund transfer, funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the 
same day we receive your payment and you will not receive your check back from your 
financial institution. 

At any time, you may pay part or all you owe on your Account without incurring any 
additional charge for prepayment. The amount of any payment that exceeds your total 
New Balance will be applied as a credit to your Account, and any remaining credit 
balance will be refunded as required by law. 

Credit availability may be delayed at our sole discretion to ensure payment in good funds, 
and your total Credit Limit may not reflect your payments for up to 14 days. 

Application of Payments. For each Billing Cycle, we will allocate payment amounts up 
to your monthly minimum payment
to charges and principal due (including new 
transactions) in any way we determine. We will generally apply payment amounts up to 
your monthly minimum payment in a manner most favorable or convenient for us. 

For each Billing Cycle, to the extent your payments exceed your monthly minimum 
payment, we will apply these excess amounts in the order required by applicable law. 
During the last two Billing Cycles of a deferred interest period, if you have an outstanding 
deferred interest balance, we will apply these excess amounts to the deferred interest 
promotion balance.

DEFERRED INTEREST  

to up to 6 months of deferred interest, 
Each Purchase on your Account
beginning on the date of the Purchase (the “deferred interest period”).
Interest will be 
charged to your Account from the date of the Purchase if the Purchase balance is not 
paid in full within the deferred interest period or if you make a late payment. 

is subject

Each Purchase transaction accrues interest from the Date of the Purchase, but we will 
not charge that interest to your Account if you pay that Purchase balance in full before 
the end of the deferred interest period and you make monthly minimum payments as 
required. The deferred interest period will end when one or more of the following events 
occur: 

•
•
•

6 months from the Purchase date; 
Your Account becomes more than 180 days past due; 
Your Account is charged off for any reason. 

Interest on each Purchase transaction will accrue during the deferred interest period at 
34.9% APR. 

You must make monthly minimum payments during the deferred interest period. The 
monthly statement we send you will include these monthly minimum payment amounts 
and will help you keep track of your Purchase balance(s) and their deferred interest 
period(s). Paying only the monthly minimum payment may not pay off the Purchase 
balance within the deferred interest period. You may have to make additional or 
increased payments during the deferred interest period to avoid having to pay all accrued 
deferred interest. 

After the deferred interest period, interest will be charged at 34.9% APR.

HOW INTEREST CHARGES ARE DETERMINED  

Your Interest Rate. We use a daily periodic rate to calculate the interest on your 
account. The daily periodic rate is the applicable APR multiplied by 1/365. The daily 
periodic rate for your account is 0.0956% and the applicable APR is 34.9%. 

When We Charge Interest. We charge interest on your Purchases from the date you 
make the purchase until you pay the purchase in full. 

Each Purchase will have a fixed monthly payment amount which we calculate when the 
Purchase is posted to your Account. We determine the fixed monthly payment amount for 
a Purchase by multiplying the Purchase amount by 5%, and then rounding the result to

How We Calculate Interest. We calculate interest separately for each balance segment 
on your Account. We do this by applying the daily periodic rate to your average daily 
balance (including new Purchases), and then multiplying the resulting number by the 
number of days in the Billing Cycle for each balance segment. An average daily balance 
is calculated for the following balance segments as applicable: Purchase Balance 
segments and the Regular Balance segment. 

We calculate interest for each balance segment as follows: 

1.

2.

For each day, we take the beginning balance of each balance segment in 
including any unpaid interest charges, add any new 
the billing cycle,
purchases and debits, and then subtract
the applicable portion of any 
payments and credits. This gives us the daily balance. Late Payment Fees, 
Returned Payment Fees, and Documentation Fees are not included in the 
daily balance. 
Then, we add all the daily balances for the billing cycle together and divide 
the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average 
daily balance. 

3. Next, we multiply the daily periodic rate by the average daily balance. 
4.

Finally, we take the resulting number from #3 and multiply it by the number 
of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the interest charge for each balance 
segment for the billing cycle.

OTHER FEES 

In addition to interest charges, other fees may be applied to your Account, as set forth 
below. The amounts of these fees may change from time to time during the term of your 
Account. 

Late Payment Fee 

If we do not receive your monthly minimum payment due by the Closing Date of the 
Billing Cycle in which the Payment Due Date occurs and the amount past due on your 
Account is more than $9.99, we will apply a Late Payment Fee to your Account. The 
Late Payment Fee is $27 if we did not charge a Late Payment Fee during any of the prior 
six billing periods. Otherwise, the Late Payment Fee is $38. The Late Payment Fee will 
never exceed the amount of your most recently required monthly minimum payment. 

Returned Payment Fee  

If any payment on your Account is returned to us unpaid for any reason, we will apply a 
Returned Payment Fee to your Account. The Returned Payment Fee is $27 if we did not 
charge a Returned Payment Fee during any of the prior six billing periods. Otherwise, 
the Returned Payment Fee is $38. The Returned Payment Fee will never exceed the 
monthly minimum payment. 

Documentation Fee  

to you for a 
You may request a copy of a monthly statement previously sent
Documentation Fee of $3 per statement, which fee we will charge to your Account. 
Copies of sales tickets or other items posted to your Account may be obtained for a 
Documentation Fee of $10 per sales ticket or other item, which will be applied to your 
Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not impose any fee in connection with a 
good faith assertion of a billing error or other exercise of your Billing Rights (see below 
under “Your Billing Rights - Keep This Notice for Future Use”).

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement  

If you think there is an error on your statement, please write to us at: Bankcard Services, 
P.O. Box 4499, Beaverton, OR 97076. 

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 (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 line. 
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 then 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
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 Account Purchases  

If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your 
Account, 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.

2.

3.

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.) 
You must have used your Account for the Purchase. Purchases made with 
cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your Account do 
not qualify. 
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: Bankcard Services, P.O. Box 4499, Beaverton, OR 97076. 

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.
