Variable Rate Information 
Variable Rates are calculated by adding together an index and a margin. This index is the Prime 
Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the 15th of each month. An increase or decrease 
in the index will cause a corresponding increase or decrease in your variable rates on the first day 
of your billing cycle that begins in the same month in which the index is published. An increase in 
the index means that you will pay higher interest charges and have a higher Total Minimum 
Payment Due. 

Interest Rate Adjustment 
An interest rate adjustment will occur when your account is 60 days or more past due. If your 
account is 60 days past due, the interest rate for existing and new balances will be increased to 
an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 21.90%. This interest rate increase will be effective 
beginning after 45-day notice is provided to you. The interest rate adjustment will terminate if you 
make the required minimum payments for six consecutive months. 

Paying Interest 
Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you any 
interest on purchases if you pay your entire balance by the due date each month. We will begin 
charging interest on cash advances and balance transfers as of the transaction date. 

Balance Subject to Interest Rate 
Average Daily Balance Method (including new Purchases):  
We figure the interest charge on your account by applying the periodic rate to the "average daily 
balance" of your account. To get the "average daily balance" we take the beginning balance of 
your account each day, add any new purchases, advances and fees, and subtract any unpaid 
interest or other finance charges and any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance. 
Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of 
days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance."

Benefit Information
What is the Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver (“Auto Rental CDW”) benefit?

The Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver (“Auto Rental CDW”) benefit offers insurance coverage for 
automobile rentals made with your Visa card. The benefit provides reimbursement (subject to the terms  
and conditions in this guide) for damage due to collision or theft up to the actual cash value of most  
rental vehicles.

Who is eligible for this benefit?

You are eligible only if you are a valid cardholder whose name is embossed on an eligible Visa card issued 
in the United States. Only you as the primary renter of the vehicle and any additional drivers permitted by 
the auto rental agreement are covered.

What losses are covered? 

The benefit provides reimbursement up to the actual cash value of the vehicle as it was originally 
manufactured. Most private passenger automobiles, minivans, and sport utility vehicles are eligible, but 
some restrictions may apply. Please contact the Benefit Administrator to inquire about a specific vehicle. 
Covered losses include: 

  Physical damage and/or theft of the covered 

  Reasonable and customary towing charges, 

rental vehicle

  Valid loss-of-use charges imposed and 

substantiated by the auto rental company 

due to covered theft or damage, to the nearest 
qualified repair facility

Please Note: This benefit only covers vehicle rental periods that neither exceed nor are intended 
to exceed fifteen (15) consecutive days within your country of residence or thirty-one (31) 
consecutive days outside your country of residence. 

How does this coverage work with other insurance?

Within your country of residence, this benefit supplements, and applies excess of, any valid and collectible 
insurance or reimbursement from any source. This means that, subject to the terms and conditions of this 
benefit, Auto Rental CDW applies to eligible theft or damage or expenses that are not covered by insurance or 
reimbursement.
If you do not have personal automobile insurance or any other insurance covering this theft or damage, 
this benefit reimburses you for the covered theft or damage as well as valid administrative and loss-of-use 
charges imposed by the auto rental company and reasonable towing charges that occur while you are 
responsible for the rental vehicle.
If you do have personal automobile insurance or other insurance covering this theft or damage, the Auto 
Rental CDW benefit reimburses you for the deductible portion of your personal automobile insurance and any 
unreimbursed portion of valid administrative and loss-of-use charges imposed by the auto rental company, 
as well as reasonable towing charges resulting from covered theft or damage of the rental vehicle while it is 
your responsibility. 

What types of rental vehicles are not covered? 

The following vehicles are not covered by Auto Rental CDW: expensive, exotic, and antique automobiles; 
certain vans; vehicles that have an open cargo bed; trucks; motorcycles, mopeds, and motorbikes; 
limousines; and recreational vehicles. 

  Examples of excluded expensive or exotic 

automobiles include: the Aston Martin, Bentley, 
Bricklin, Daimler, DeLorean, Excalibur, Ferrari, 
Jensen, Lamborghini, Lotus, Maserati, Porsche, 
and Rolls Royce. However, selected models of 
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, and Lincoln  
are covered. 

  An antique automobile is defined as any vehicle 
over twenty (20) years old or any vehicle that has 
not been manufactured for ten (10) years or more. 

  Vans are not covered, with the exception of 

those manufactured and designed specifically 
as small group transportation vehicles (for a 
maximum of eight (8) people including the driver).

intended to exceed fifteen (15) consecutive  
days within your country of residence or  
thirty-one (31) consecutive days outside your 
country of residence
  Leases and mini leases

Ireland, or Northern Ireland

This benefit is available in the United States and most foreign countries. However, no benefit is provided 
for motor vehicles rented in Israel, Jamaica, the Republic of Ireland, or Northern Ireland. 
Additionally, this benefit is not available where precluded by law or in violation of the territory terms of the auto 
rental agreement or prohibited by individual merchants. Because regulations vary outside the United 
States, it is recommended you check with your auto rental company and the Benefit Administrator 
before you travel to make sure Auto Rental CDW will apply. 
This benefit is in effect while the rental vehicle remains in your control or in the control of an authorized  
driver permitted to operate the rental vehicle in accordance with the rental agreement between you and  
the auto rental company. This benefit terminates when the auto rental company re-assumes control of the 
rental vehicle. 

How do I make sure my Auto Rental CDW benefit is in effect?  

To be sure you are covered, take the following steps when you rent a vehicle:

1

Initiate and complete the entire rental 
transaction with your eligible Visa card.

2 Decline the auto rental company’s collision 

damage waiver (CDW/LDW) option or similar 
provision.

Helpful tips: 
  Be sure to check the rental vehicle for prior damage before leaving the rental lot. 
  Review the auto rental agreement carefully to make sure you are declining CDW/LDW and are 

familiar with the terms and conditions of the auto rental agreement. 

What if the auto rental company insists that I purchase the auto rental company’s auto insurance or 
collision damage waiver?  

Call the Benefit Administrator for help at 1-800-348-8472. If you are outside the United States,  
call collect at 804-673-1164.

Filing an Auto Rental CDW Claim

What do I do if I have an accident or the rental vehicle is stolen?   

Immediately call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-348-8472 to report the theft or damage  
regardless of whether your liability has been established. If you are outside the United States, call collect 
at 804-673-1164. The Benefit Administrator will answer any questions you or the auto rental company may 
have and will send you a claim form.  

When should I report an incident?    

You should report theft or damage as soon as possible, but no later than forty-five (45) days* 
from the date of the incident. The Benefit Administrator reserves the right to deny any claim that contains 
charges that would not have been included had the Benefit Administrator been notified before those 
expenses were incurred, so you are advised to notify the Benefit Administrator immediately after  
any incident.

Please Note: You must make every reasonable effort to protect the rental vehicle from theft  
or damage.  As the cardholder you are responsible for reporting your claim to the Benefit  
Administrator immediately. Reporting an incident to someone other than the Benefit Administrator 
will not fulfill this obligation.

What do I need from the auto rental company in order to file a claim?     

At the time of the theft or damage, or when you return the rental vehicle, immediately ask the auto rental 
company for: 

  A copy of the accident report form and claim 

  A copy of the repair estimate and itemized  

document, which should indicate the costs you 
are responsible for and any amounts that have 
been paid toward the claim

  A copy of the initial and final auto rental 

agreement(s)

repair bill

  Two (2) photographs of the damaged vehicle,  

if available

  A police report, if obtainable

How do I file a claim?      

Submit the documents gathered from the auto rental company (listed above) along with the following 
additional documents to the Benefit Administrator: 

  The completed and signed Auto Rental CDW claim 
form. Please Note: Your completed claim form 
must be postmarked within ninety (90) days* of 
the date of the theft or damage, even if all other 
required documentation is not yet available, or 
your claim may be denied 

  A copy of your receipt or monthly billing statement 
as proof that the entire vehicle rental was charged 
and paid for with your eligible Visa card

  A statement from your insurance carrier (and/or 
your employer or employer’s insurance carrier, 
if applicable) or other reimbursement showing 
the costs for which you are responsible and 

any amounts that have been paid toward the 
claim. Or, if you have no applicable insurance 
or reimbursement, a notarized statement of no 
insurance or reimbursement is required 
  A copy of your primary insurance policy's 

Declarations Page to confirm your deductible.  
“Declarations Page” means the document(s) in 
your insurance policy that lists names, coverages, 
limits, effective dates and deductibles.

  Any other documentation deemed necessary by 

the Benefit Administrator to substantiate  
the claim

Please Note: All remaining documents must be postmarked within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days  
of the date of theft or damage. If you have difficulty obtaining the required documents within ninety (90)  
days* of the date of theft or damage, submit the claim form with available documentation. 

For faster filing, or to learn more about Auto Rental CDW, visit www.visa.com/eclaims

Do I have to do anything else?     

Usually there is nothing else you need to do. Typically, claims will be finalized within fifteen (15) days after the 
Auto Rental CDW Benefit Administrator has received all documentation necessary to fully substantiate your 
claim. 
After the Benefit Administrator has paid your claim, all your rights and remedies against any party in respect 
of this theft or damage will be transferred to the Benefit Administrator to the extent of the cost of payment 
made to you. You must give the Benefit Administrator all assistance as may reasonably be required to secure 
all rights and remedies.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR AUTO RENTAL CDW 

You must make every effort that would be made by a reasonable and prudent person to protect the rental vehicle

Benefit Information
What is this benefit? 

Warranty Manager Service provides you with valuable features to help manage, use and even extend the 
warranties of eligible items purchased with your Visa card. You can access these features with a simple toll-
free call. Services include Warranty Registration and Extended Warranty Protection. 

Who is eligible for this benefit? 

You are eligible if you are a valid cardholder of an eligible Visa card issued in the United States. 

Why should I use Warranty Registration to register my purchases?

You’ll have peace of mind knowing that your purchases’ warranty information is registered and on 
file. Although Warranty Registration is not required for Extended Warranty Protection benefits, you are 
encouraged to take advantage of this valuable service. When arranging for a repair or replacement, instead of 
searching for critical documents, you can just pick up the phone and call the Benefit Administrator.

How do I register my purchases?

To register an eligible purchase call 1-800-551-8472, or call collect outside the U.S. at 303-967-1096. 
The Benefit Administrator will provide the address to which you can send in the item’s sales receipt and 
warranty information so this key information can be kept on file for you.  

How does Extended Warranty Protection work?

Extended Warranty Protection doubles the time period of the original manufacturer’s written U.S. repair 
warranty up to one (1) additional year on eligible warranties of three (3) years or less for items purchased 
entirely with your eligible Visa card. 
This benefit is limited to no more than the original price of the purchased item (as shown on your Visa card 
receipt), less shipping and handling fees, up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per claim 
and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder. 

What about purchases made outside of the U.S.?

Purchases made outside of the U.S. are covered as long as you purchased the item entirely with your eligible 
Visa card and the eligible item has a valid original manufacturer’s written U.S. repair warranty of three (3) 
years or less, store-purchased dealer warranty, or assembler warranty.  

What types of purchases are not covered?

  Boats, automobiles, aircraft, and any other 

motorized vehicles and their motors, equipment, 
or accessories, including trailers and other items 
that can be towed by or attached to any motorized 
vehicle

  Any costs other than those specifically covered 
under the terms of the original manufacturer’s 
written U.S. repair warranty, as supplied by the 
original manufacturer, or other eligible warranty

  Items purchased for resale, professional, or 

commercial use

  Real estate and items which are intended to 
become part of real estate including, but not 
limited to, items that are hard-wired or hard-
plumbed, garage doors, garage door openers, 
and ceiling fans

  Rented or leased items or items purchased 

on an installment plan and for which the entire 
purchase price was not paid in full at the time of 
the occurrence
  Computer software
  Medical equipment
  Used or pre-owned items

Should I keep copies of receipts or any other records? 

Not if you’ve already registered your purchase. If you have not registered your purchase, however, you should 
keep copies of your Visa card receipt, your store receipt, the original manufacturer’s written U.S. warranty, 
and any other applicable warranty in the event that you need to file a claim, as these documents will be 
required to verify your claim.

Filing an Extended Warranty Protection Claim

How do I file a claim?

Call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-551-8472, or call collect outside the U.S. at 303-967-1096 
immediately after the failure of a covered item. 

Please Note: If you do not notify the Benefit Administrator within sixty (60) days after the product 
failure, your claim may be denied.

The Benefit Administrator will ask you for some preliminary claim information, direct you to the appropriate 
repair facility, and send you the appropriate claim form. 
Gift recipients of eligible items are also covered by the claim process. However, a gift recipient must provide 
all the documents necessary to fully substantiate the claim.

visit www.visa.com/eclaims

What documents do I need to submit with my claim?

Complete and sign the claim form sent to you by the Benefit Administrator and submit it within ninety (90) 
days of the product failure along with the following documents: 
  Your Visa card receipt
  The itemized store receipt
  A copy of the original manufacturer’s written U.S. 

any other documentation deemed necessary to 
substantiate your claim (this includes bills and, if 
necessary, a copy of the maintenance record and 
receipts)

warranty and any other applicable warranty

  A description and serial number of the item, and 

  The original repair order

Please Note: All claims must be fully substantiated. 

How will I be reimbursed? 

If you have substantiated your claim and met the terms and conditions of the benefit, the item will be replaced 
or repaired at the Benefit Administrator’s discretion, but for no more than the original purchase price of 
the covered item as recorded on your Visa card receipt, less shipping and handling fees, up to a maximum 
of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per claim, and a maximum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per 
cardholder. 
Under normal circumstances, reimbursement will take place within five (5) business days of receipt and 
approval of all required documents.

What about repairs? 

Extended Warranty Protection will pay the repair facility directly, or you may go to an authorized repair facility 
and file a claim for reimbursement. Only valid and reasonable repairs made at the manufacturer’s 
authorized repair facility are covered. 
In either case, the Benefit Administrator’s payment, replacement, or repair made in good faith will fulfill the 
obligation under the benefit. 

Do I have to file with my insurance company?  

No. However, if you have purchased or received a service contract or Extended Warranty, Extended Warranty 
Protection is supplemental to, and excess of, that coverage.
