Your Annual Percentage Rate (APR) may vary quarterly and is based on the Prime Rate. Your APR is determined by adding a 
margin of:  5.99% to 17.99% on purchases and balance transfers for the Platinum card, or 9.99% to 19.99% on purchases and 
balance transfers for the Platinum Rewards card, and 14.99% to 19.99% on cash advances and 19.99% on Penalty APR to the 
Prime Rate for the Platinum card and the Platinum Rewards card. The Prime Rate Index used to determine your APR is the 
highest rate published in The Wall Street Journal during the last business day of the previous calendar quarter (March, June, 
September and December), and changes are effective as of the first day of your next billing cycle. The U.S. Prime Rate was 
5.50% as of December 20, 2018. (See the Visa Credit Card Agreement for complete details.)
