GETTING STARTED: YOUR ACCOUNT 
Get acquainted with your account by reviewing the important terms below.

IMPORTANT TERM WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU

OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Credit Access Line

You are responsible for balances on your account including amounts charged in excess of 
your credit access line. We may also refer to credit access line as credit line or credit limit.

We will assign a credit access line to your account, and post it on your monthly 
billing statement. We may cancel, change or restrict your credit availability at any 
time. Each transaction is considered for approval on an individual basis, including 
those above the credit access line. We may not approve all transactions.

Authorized Users

You are responsible for any use of your account by an authorized user or anyone else that you 
permit to use your account. You must notify us if you want them to stop using your account. 
You  also  are  responsible  for  getting  any  cards,  checks  or  other  means  of  accessing  your 
account from the authorized user.

If you request, we may issue cards that access your account to your authorized 
users. If you wish to terminate an authorized user, we may close your account and 
open a new account with a different account number.

Annual  
Membership Fee

If your account has an annual fee, you are responsible for it every year your account is open or 
until your account is closed and paid in full. Your monthly billing statement will tell you how to 
cancel your account and avoid future annual fees.

If your account has an annual fee, we will add your annual fee to your monthly 
billing statement once a year, whether or not you use your account. Your annual 
fee will be added to your purchase balance and may incur interest.

Amendments

We may change the terms of this agreement including APRs and fees from time to time. 
We may also add new terms or delete terms. APRs or other terms may also change 
without amendment, for example when the Prime Rate changes. See the Variable Rate 
section for details.

Our ability to make changes to this agreement is limited by applicable law. 

TERM

WHAT IT MEANS

IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS

Cash-like 
Transactions

The following transactions will be treated as cash advances: purchasing travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions; purchasing 
lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions; and making a payment using a third party service.

Payment Due 
Date

Payments are due on the payment due date shown on your monthly statement. The monthly statement also explains when the payment must reach us in order to be considered 
received as of that date. Payments received after the required time will be credited on the next business day.

Variable Rate

We calculate variable APRs by adding a margin to the highest U.S. Prime Rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal two business days (not weekends or 
federal holidays) before the closing date shown on your billing statement. The APR may increase or decrease each month if the Prime Rate changes. Any new rate will be applied as 
of the first day of your billing cycle during which the Prime Rate has changed. If the APR increases, you will pay a higher interest charge and may pay a higher minimum payment. The 
Prime Rate is simply a reference index and is not the lowest interest rate available. If The Wall Street Journal stops publishing the Prime Rate, we will select a similar reference rate.

Default

Your account will be in default if:
1) You do not pay at least the minimum payment when due; 2) You fail to comply with this or other agreements with us or one of our related banks; or 3) We believe you may be unwilling 
or unable to pay your debts on time; you file for bankruptcy; or you become incapacitated or die.
If your account is in default, we may close it without notice and require you to pay your unpaid balance immediately. We can also begin collection activities. To the extent permitted by 
law, if you are in default because you have failed to pay us, we will require you to pay our collection costs, attorneys’ fees, court costs, and all other expenses of enforcing our rights 
under this agreement.

USING YOUR CARD 
You can use your account in the following ways. Your account is to be used only for personal, family or household purposes.  
You cannot use your account for illegal purposes, such as Internet gambling and writing checks against uncollected funds.

TRANSACTIONS

WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU

OUR RESPONSIBILITY 

Purchases

You may use your account to buy goods and services.

We authorize charges to your account in accordance with the terms of this agreement.

Balance 
Transfers

Cash 
Advances

Checks

If eligible for a balance transfer, you can transfer balances to your account 
by using balance transfer checks, visiting our website or calling us.

We permit balance transfers from most non-Chase accounts. We do not permit balance transfers from 
other accounts or loans with us or any of our related banks. 

You may obtain cash from automatic teller machines, at banks or by using 
cash advance checks. Unless we say otherwise, balance transfer checks 
or promotional checks made payable to cash or yourself will be treated as 
cash advances.

We treat certain other transactions as cash advances. See the Cash-like Transactions section under 
Important Definitions above. 

For  your  protection,  balance  transfer  and  cash  advance  checks  must  be 
signed by the person whose name is printed on the checks. 

We may provide balance transfer checks and cash advance checks for your use; we have the right not 
to pay a check for any reason. 

Automatic Charges

You may set up scheduled and repeat transactions to your account. If your 
account is closed or suspended, or your account number changes, you will 
need to contact any persons that you are paying by automatic transactions.

We are not responsible for scheduled and repeat transactions if your account is closed, suspended 
or the account number changes.

Promotions

You may receive special offers related to your account.

Any special offer is subject to this agreement, unless explained otherwise.

Foreign Transaction 
Fee and Exchange 
Rate

There is a fee, unless “None” is stated in the Rates and Fees Table, for 
transactions that are made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars. Our fee 
is a percentage of the U.S. Dollar amount of the transaction. Please see 
the Rates and Fees Table for the amount of this fee, if any.

•  If a transaction is in a foreign currency, Visa International or MasterCard International will convert 
the transaction into U.S. dollars using their own currency conversion procedures, and then will send 
us the transaction amount. The exchange rate will be determined using either the range of rates 
available in the wholesale currency markets for the processing date (which may be different from 
the rate the card association receives) or a government-mandated rate in effect on that date. The 
exchange rate used by Visa or MasterCard may differ from the rate on the date of your transaction.
•  In the case of returned or exchanged merchandise that was purchased in a foreign currency, the 

exchange rate is determined on the date of the return.

Authorization of 
Transactions / Closing 
Your Account

We are not obligated to honor every transaction, and we may close or 
suspend your account. Sometimes we close accounts based not on 
your actions or inactions, but on our business needs.

We may decline transactions for any reason, including: operational matters, the account is in default, 
or suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity. We are not responsible for any losses associated with a 
declined transaction.

PAYING US BACK 
You will receive a billing statement, if one is required, each month. It will show your minimum required payment.
After you make a payment, it may take up to 15 days to restore available credit on your account.

IMPORTANT 
INFORMATION

WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU

OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Payment 
Instructions

Minimum 
Payment

You must follow the payment instructions on your billing statement. You can pay us by: 
check, money order, or electronic payment drawn on a U.S. bank or a foreign bank branch 
in the U.S. All payments must be in U.S. Dollars. You authorize us to collect any payment 
check either electronically or by draft. Payments marked “paid in full” must be sent to the 
Conditional Payments address shown on your billing statement. See your billing statement 
for complete payment instructions.

You agree to pay at least the minimum payment when due. You also agree to pay amounts 
in excess of your credit access line when billed to your monthly statements or sooner if 
we ask. Minimum payments may include specific fixed payments that are part of special 
promotions. You can pay down balances faster by paying more than the minimum payment 
or the total unpaid balance on your account.

As  long  as  you  make  your  payment  in  accordance  with  the  instructions  on  your  billing 
statement by the date and time payments are due, we will credit your payment as of the 
same day it is received. We may accept and process any payments marked as “paid in full” 
without losing our rights.

We will calculate your minimum payment based on the method described below the Rates 
and Fees Table. The minimum payment will appear on your monthly statement and includes 
any past due amounts.

Interest-Free 
Period (also 
called Grace 
Period) on 
Purchases

• The interest-free period is the time when you are not charged interest on new purchases.
•  Your account is in an interest-free period when you pay your New Balance as shown on 
your statement every month by the due date and time. During this period, you will not 
pay interest on purchases.

•  Balance Transfers, Checks and Cash Advances do not have an interest-free period.

•  We do not charge interest on any part of the purchase balance that you pay while your 

account is in an interest-free period.

•  We charge interest on purchases from the date the transactions appear on your account 

(until the balance is paid in full) when your account is not in an interest-free period. 

•  For more details about how we calculate your interest charges, see the Interest Charges 

section of this agreement.

•  When  you  make  a  payment,  generally,  we  first  apply  your  minimum  payment  to  the 

balance on your monthly statement with the lowest APR.

Payment 
Allocation

•  Any  payment  above  your  minimum  payment  would  generally  then  be  applied  to  the 

balance on your monthly statement with the highest APR first.

•  If you do not pay your balance in full each month, you may not be able to avoid interest 

charges on new purchases.

Credit Balances

You may request a refund of any credit balance.

We  apply  payments  to  balances  as  they  appear  on  your  monthly  statement  before  being 
applied to new transactions. An example of a new transaction is a recent purchase you made 
that has not yet been included in the New Balance as shown on your statement.

If you do not request a refund, we will apply any credit balance to new charges on your 
Account. If a credit balance remains on your account for 6 months and the amount is $1 or 
more, we will automatically refund it to you. If your credit balance is less than $1, it will be 
removed from your account but we will send the credit balance to you if you ask us to do so.

“HOW TO AVOID...” 
Certain transactions and situations may cause your account to receive a fee or have another impact on your account. The information below explains how you can avoid these outcomes. Amounts of these fees 
are listed in the Rates and Fees Table. The Rates and Fees Table indicates amounts “up to” certain limits for penalty fees because applicable law may restrict our ability to impose the full amount of the penalty 
fee in some circumstances. See the “Penalty Fees” provision below the Rates and Fees Table for additional detail reflecting limitations imposed under applicable law. Special services you request may incur 
additional service fees; be sure to carefully review the details of any additional services to understand the terms.

on your billing statement when due.

Return Check Fee

Do not stop payment on cash advance and balance transfer 
checks, and do not default.

WHAT IT MEANS

total balance at the end of the day the fee is charged.

We may charge a return check fee if we stop payment on a cash advance check or balance transfer check at your 
request, or we refuse to pay a cash advance check or balance transfer check for any reason, including because your 
account is in default.

Return Payment Fee

Do not submit a payment that could be returned unpaid.

We may charge this fee if the payment you offer to us is not honored, is returned unpaid, or cannot be processed.

INTEREST CHARGES

Daily Interest Rates and Annual Percentage Rates may be found on the Rates and Fees Table.

•   We multiply the daily interest rate by the daily balance for each transaction type for each day in 

Periodic Interest Charge Calculation—Daily balance method (Including new transactions):
We calculate a daily balance for each type of transaction and use the daily balances to determine your 
interest charges.

We figure the “daily balance” for each transaction type as follows:

•  We take the beginning balance for each day and add 

-  any interest charge from the prior day (known as compounding of interest) and 
- 

 any new transactions or other debits (including Annual Membership Fees, transaction fees, 
Penalty Fees, any other fees and unpaid interest charges).

•  We subtract payments or credits, and treat any net credit balance as a zero balance.
•  The result is the daily balance for each type of transaction.

We figure the interest charges on your account as follows:

•   To get the daily interest rate for each type of transaction we divide the APR by 365. We may 

combine different transaction types that have the same daily interest rates.

the billing cycle.

•  We add together the interest charges for each day in the billing cycle for each transaction type.
•   If any interest charge is due, we will charge you at least the minimum interest charge shown on 

the Rates and Fees Table.

We add transactions and fees to your daily balance no earlier than:

•  For new purchases, balance transfers or cash advances – the date of the transaction.
•   For new cash advance checks or balance transfer checks – the date the payee deposits the check.
•   Fees – either on the date of a related transaction, the date they are posted to your account, or 

the last day of the billing cycle, whichever we may choose.

The Balances Subject to Interest Rate for each type of transaction shown on your billing statement is 
the sum of the daily balances for that type of transaction divided by the number of days in the billing 
cycle. We may use mathematical formulas that produce equivalent results to calculate the Balance 
Subject to Interest Rate, interest charges and related amounts.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS: KEEP THIS DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE USE 
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement

While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:

If you think there is an error on your statement, contact us in writing at the Customer Service address 
or electronically at the website address as shown on your billing statement. In your communication, 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 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 or electronically. 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 Written or Electronic Communication

When we receive your communication, we must do two things:

1.   Within 30 days of receiving your communication, we must tell you that we received it. We will also 

tell you if we have already corrected the error.

2.   Within 90 days of receiving your communication, we must either correct the error or explain to you 

why we believe the bill is correct.

•  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 access 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 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  contact  us  in  writing  or 
electronically 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 first $50 of the amount you question 
even if your bill is correct.

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases

3.  You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.

13

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.

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at 
the Customer Service address or electronically at the website address shown on your billing statement. 
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.
