SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION 
REWARDS OF SPORT MASTERCARD® ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

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 is the applicable APR times 
1/365. Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted by applicable law.

The APR for purchases is the prime rate plus 23.74%. As of January 1, 2016 the daily rate for purchases was .07464% (APR 27.24%).

Daily Rates May Vary. The APR and the daily rate for purchases on your account vary with the market based on the prime rate. 
The prime rate for a billing cycle is the highest bank prime loan rate published in The Wall Street Journal in its Money Rates section 
on the last business day of the calendar month preceding the first day of the billing cycle.

If the prime rate increases, the daily rate and APR for purchases will increase. As a result, interest, your total minimum payment and 

the number of payments it would take you to pay off your account balance may increase. We apply any change in rates because of 
a prime rate change to your entire account balance. A change in the prime rate will take effect on the first day of the first billing cycle 
after the change. We may select a new interest rate index if the prime rate is not available.

The daily rate for cash advances is .08217% (APR 29.99%).

When We Charge 
Interest

Purchases.  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 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 will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate to 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.

Cash Advances. We charge interest on your cash advances, and their related fees, from the date you make the transaction until you 
pay them in full. You cannot avoid paying interest on cash advances or their related fees.

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, cash 
advances and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or special promotions. See below for 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; 

(b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance;

(c) cash advance fees are added to the cash advance balance; and

(d) foreign transaction fees are added to the purchase balance.

How Fees Work

Cash Advance Fee 

Foreign 
Transaction Fee 

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. This charge is added proportionately to each 
balance type. 

We will charge this fee for each cash advance you make. For ATM cash advances this fee is in addition to any fee the ATM owner may 
charge you for use of the ATM.

We will charge this fee for purchases or cash advances you make in currencies other than U.S dollars and/or in a country other than the 
U.S., whether or not the transaction was in a foreign currency. 

If you make a transaction with your account in a currency other than U.S. dollars, MasterCard will convert the transaction amount into 
U.S. dollars using its currency conversion procedure. Under the currency conversion procedure that MasterCard currently uses, the 
non-U.S. dollar transaction amount is converted into a U.S. dollar amount by multiplying the transaction amount in the non-U.S. dollar 
currency by a currency conversion rate. The currency conversion rate that MasterCard typically uses is either a government mandated 
rate, or a wholesale rate provided to MasterCard. The currency conversion rate that MasterCard uses for a particular transaction is the 
rate MasterCard uses for the applicable currency when the transaction is processed. This rate may differ from the rate in effect when 
the transaction occurred or when it was posted to your Account, and may be higher than the rate you could have gotten if you had 
converted U.S. dollars into the foreign currency. 

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.  $25, if you have paid your total minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles.

OR

2.  $35, 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.

Minimum Payment Calculation
Your total minimum payment is calculated as follows.
The greater of:

1.  $25, or $35 (which includes any past due amounts) if you have failed to pay the total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the prior six 

billing cycles.
OR

2.  The sum of:

a.  Any past due amounts; PLUS
b.  1% of your new balance shown on your billing statement (excluding any balance in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment 

calculation); PLUS

c.  Any late payment fees charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS
d.  All interest charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS
e.  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.

Special Promotional Financing Offer Information 

At times, we may offer you special financing promotions for certain transactions (“special promotions”). The terms of this Agreement apply to any special promotion. 
However, any special promotional terms that are different than the terms in this Agreement will be explained on promotional advertising or other disclosures provided 
to you. Below is a description of certain special promotions that may be offered: 

• No Interest if Paid in Full Within 6 Months

• No Interest if Paid in Full Within 12 Months

For each promotion, if the promotional balance is not paid in full within the promotional period, interest 
will be imposed from the date of purchase at the variable Purchase APR that applies to your account 
when the promotional purchase is made.

At the time your account is opened, the variable Purchase APR is 27.24%.

• No Interest if Paid in Full Within 18 Months

Your Purchase APR will vary with the market based on the prime rate.

When you make a qualifying purchase under one of these promotions, no interest will be assessed on the purchase if you pay the following (the “promotional balance”) 
in full within the applicable promotional period: (1) the promotional purchase amount, and (2) any related optional credit insurance/debt cancellation charges. If you do 
not, interest will be assessed on the promotional balance from the date of the purchase. Minimum monthly payments are required. Regular account terms apply to 
non-promotional purchases and, after promotion ends, to promotional purchases. Offers are subject to credit approval. These promotional offers may not be available 
at all times for all purchases. Please see any special promotion advertising or other disclosures provided to you for the full terms of any special promotion offered.

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 DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. 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 AN 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,  1-800-778-7879,  or  JAMS,  620  Eighth  Avenue,  34th  Floor,  New  York,  NY  10018,  
www.jamsadr.com, 1-800-352-5267. 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.
