for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate 
Visa or MasterCard itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect 
for  the  applicable  central  processing  date,  in  each  instance,  plus  a  foreign 
currency  transaction  fee  in  the  amount  disclosed  on  your Account  Opening 
Disclosures  printed  on  the  card  carrier  containing  your  Card.  This  fee  will 
be  paid  to  us  and  applied  to  all  transactions  posted  to  your  Credit Account 
in  a  foreign  currency,  including  all  Purchase  transactions,  Cash  Advance 
transactions, ATM transactions and returns and adjustments (e.g., for returned 
merchandise). The currency conversion rate used on the processing date may 
be  different  than  the  rate  that  was  in  effect  on  the  date  you  conducted  the 
transaction. We do not set the currency conversion rate, and we do not receive 
any portion of it. We do, however, receive a foreign currency transaction fee 
as disclosed on your Account Opening Disclosures printed on the card carrier 
containing your card.
Prohibition  on  Gambling  and  Illegal  Transactions:  Your  Card  and  Credit 
Account may not be used in connection with any gambling transaction (whether 
legal or illegal). Also, your Card and Credit Account may be used only for valid 
and lawful purposes. If you use, or allow someone else to use your Card or 
Credit Account for any unlawful purpose or for any gambling transaction, you 
will be responsible for such use and may be required to reimburse us for all 
amounts or expenses we pay as a result of such use.
Call Recording: We reserve the right to monitor and/or record telephone calls 
for  quality  and  training  purposes. This  includes  both  calls  to  and  originated 
by First PREMIER Bank, PREMIER Bankcard, LLC, or any of our affiliates or 
service providers.

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: If you think there is 
an error on your statement, write to us at:
     First PREMIER Bank
     P.O. Box 5524
     Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5524
(You may also contact us on the Web:  www.mypremiercreditcard.com.)
In your letter, give us the following information:
• Account information: Your name and Credit 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 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 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 limit.
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 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 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 $50.00 
of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases: 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 $50.00.  (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 
Account do not qualify.
(3)  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 (or electronically) at:
     First PREMIER Bank
     P.O. Box 5524
     Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5524
     www.mypremiercreditcard.com
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. 
Your Liability for Unauthorized Use of Your Credit Account: You will not be 
liable for unauthorized use of your Card or Credit Account. However, to protect 
your rights, you are required to notify us orally or in writing as soon as you are 
aware that your Card or Credit Account has been lost, stolen or used without 
your consent. Certain exceptions apply and you may be liable for up to $50.00. 
To notify us of the loss, theft or possible unauthorized use of your Card, call us 
at 1-800-987-5521, 24 hours a day. 

STATE DISCLOSURES

reporting  reflecting  on  your  credit  record  may  be  submitted  to  a  Consumer 
Reporting Agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. After 
credit approval, each applicant shall have the right to use the Credit Account

order, or has actual knowledge of that provision.

ARBITRATION AND LITIGATION
This  Arbitration  Provision  (“Provision”)  facilitates  the  prompt  and  efficient 
resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and us. Arbitration is a 
form of private dispute-resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their 
rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit 
their disputes to a neutral third person (an arbitrator) for a binding decision. You 
have the right to opt out of this Provision, which means you would retain your 
right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury. To exercise 
your right to opt out you must provide us with written notice no later than 30 
days after your Credit Account is first opened. If we do not receive your written 
notice within that time frame, your rights to opt out will terminate, and you agree 
that the provisions of this section will apply.
PLEASE  READ  THIS  PROVISION  CAREFULLY.  IT  PROVIDES  THAT  ALL 
DISPUTES  ARISING  OUT  OF  OR  CONNECTED  TO  THIS  CONTRACT 
SHALL  BE  RESOLVED  BY  BINDING  ARBITRATION.  ARBITRATION 
REPLACES  THE  RIGHT  TO  GO  TO  COURT.  IN  THE ABSENCE  OF  THIS 
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND WE MAY OTHERWISE HAVE HAD 
A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO BRING CLAIMS IN A COURT, BEFORE A 
JUDGE OR JURY AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BE REPRESENTED IN 
A  CASE  FILED  IN  COURT  BY  OTHERS  (INCLUDING,  BUT  NOT  LIMITED 
TO, CLASS ACTIONS). EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED, ENTERING 
INTO THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO 
LITIGATE CLAIMS AND ALL OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD BY A JUDGE 
OR JURY.
Parties and Matters Subject to Arbitration: For purposes of this Provision, 
“you”  and  “us”  include  the  employees,  parents,  subsidiaries,  affiliates, 
beneficiaries, agents and assigns of you and us. For purposes of this Provision, 
“Claim” means any claim, dispute or controversy by either you or us, arising 
out of or relating in any way to this Contract, this Provision (including claims 
regarding  the  applicability,  enforceability  or  validity  of  this  Provision),  your 
Credit Account, any transaction on your Credit Account and our relationship. 
“Claim” also refers to any interaction or communication between you and us 
that occurred prior to or concurrent with entering into this Contract, including 
those now in existence, regardless of present knowledge. “Claim” shall refer 
to claims of every kind and nature, including, but not limited to, initial claims, 
counterclaims, cross-claims and third party claims. All Claims are subject to 
arbitration, regardless of legal theory and remedy sought, including, but not 
limited to, claims based in contract, tort (including negligence, intentional tort, 
fraud and fraud in the inducement), agency, statutory law (federal and state), 
administrative regulations or any other source of law (including equity).
Agreement to Arbitrate: Any Claim arising out of or relating to this Contract, 
or the breach of this Contract or your Credit Account, shall be resolved and 
settled  exclusively  and  finally  by  binding  arbitration,  in  accordance  with  this 

Provision.  Binding  arbitration  shall  not  be  required,  however,  for  collection 
actions  by  us  relating  to  your  Credit  Account.  Furthermore,  both  you  and 
we retain the right to pursue in a small claims court any Claim that is within 
that court’s jurisdiction, provided the Claim proceeds on an individual basis. 
However, only a court of law, not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity and 
effect of this Provision’s prohibition of class arbitration. For any Claims covered 
by this Provision, a party who asserted a Claim in a lawsuit in court may elect 
arbitration with respect to any Claim subsequently asserted in that lawsuit by 
any other party.
Voluntary Waiver of the Right to a Jury Trial and Class Action Participation: 
As a result of this Provision, neither you nor we have the right to litigate any 
Claim  in  court  or  the  right  to  a  jury  trial  on  any  Claim,  except  as  provided 
above.  YOU  AGREE  THAT  YOU  ARE  VOLUNTARILY  AND  KNOWINGLY 
WAIVING ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO GO TO COURT OR TO HAVE A 
JURY TRIAL. FURTHERMORE, NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY SERVE AS A 
REPRESENTATIVE, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER 
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. SIMILARLY, NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY 
PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS IN A LAWSUIT 
OF ANY CLAIM.
Prohibition  of  Class  Arbitration:  All  Claims  shall  be  resolved  by  binding 
arbitration on an individual basis. Claims made and remedies sought as part 
of a class action, private attorney general or other representative action are 
subject  to  arbitration  on  an  individual  (non-class,  non-representative)  basis. 
Therefore, the arbitrator has no authority to conduct class-wide proceedings and 
will be restricted to resolving individual Claims. UNDER THIS ARBITRATION 
PROVISION THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO 
BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS BASIS. Arbitration will only be conducted on 
an individual Claim basis and there is no right or authority to consolidate or 
join any of your Claims with any other Claims. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE 
VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE 
AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS 
PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS 
PROVISION.
Governing Law: This agreement to arbitrate is made pursuant to a transaction 
involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration 
Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as it may be amended. If for any reason the Federal 
Arbitration Act does not apply, the substantive law of the State of South Dakota 
shall govern this Provision.
Arbitration Location and Procedure: Any arbitration hearing at which you 
wish to appear will take place at a location within the federal judicial district that 
includes your billing address at the time the Claim is filed. The party bringing 
the Claim may file its Claim at the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) 
or  an  arbitration  organization  mutually  agreed  upon  by  both  parties.  The 
arbitration organization that is selected will administer the arbitration pursuant 
to its procedures in effect at the time of filing, subject to this Provision. If you 
do not agree to file your claim with AAA, and the parties cannot agree on an 
alternative arbitration organization, an arbitrator will be appointed by a court 
pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency 
between the respective organization’s rules and this Provision, this Provision 
shall  govern.  The  arbitration  will  be  conducted  before  a  single  arbitrator, 
whose authority is limited solely to individual Claims between you and us. The 
arbitration will not be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding. Any 
decision rendered in such arbitration proceeding will be final and binding on 
the parties and judgment may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. 
The rules and forms of AAA may be obtained as follows; American Arbitration 
Association, (1-800-778-7879), 335 Madison Avenue, Floor 10, New York, NY 
10017, website at www.adr.org.
Arbitrator’s Authority: The arbitrator shall apply the applicable substantive law, 
consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act; shall apply statutes of limitation; and 
shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. In conducting the arbitration 
proceeding,  the  arbitrator  shall  not  apply  any  federal  or  state  rules  of  civil 
procedure  or  evidence.  PURSUANT  TO  THIS ARBITRATION  PROVISION, 

THERE  IS  NO  RIGHT  TO  ENGAGE  IN  PREARBITRATION  DISCOVERY 
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE RULES AND PROCEDURES OF THE 
RESPECTIVE  CHOSEN  NATIONAL  ARBITRAL  ORGANIZATION.  Either 
party may, however, request to expand  the scope  of discovery. If a request 
is made, within 15 days of the requesting party’s notice, the objecting party 
may submit objections to the arbitrator with a copy of the objections provided 
to the party requesting expansion. The grant or denial of a party’s request will 
be in the sole discretion of the arbitrator, who shall notify the parties of the final 
decision within 20 days of the objecting party’s submission.
The  Arbitrator’s  Award:  The  arbitrator  has  the  ability  to  award  to  the 
prevailing party all remedies available at common law, by statute or in equity, 
including  injunctive  relief,  declaratory  relief,  arbitration  costs  and  attorney 
fees. The arbitrator shall not, however, have authority to award any punitive 
damages.  YOU  AND  WE  AGREE  THAT  PUNITIVE  DAMAGES  ARE  NOT 
RECOVERABLE IN ANY ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING UNDER 
THIS CONTRACT EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PUNITIVE DAMAGES WOULD 
BE  AVAILABLE  IN  LITIGATION.  For  awards  not  in  excess  of  $5,000.00, 
upon  the  timely  request  of  any  party,  the  arbitrator  shall  provide  a  brief 
written explanation of the basis for the award. In the event an award exceeds 
$5,000.00, or in which there is a request for equitable relief with a potential 
financial impact or value in excess of $5,000.00, the award of the arbitrator 
shall be in writing and shall specify the facts and the law on which it is based. 
In such case, the arbitrator’s findings of fact must be supported by substantial 
evidence and the arbitrator’s conclusions of law must not be based on legal 
error or be erroneous under the applicable substantive law. Further, in addition 
to the Federal Arbitration Act’s grounds for vacation, modification or correction 
of the arbitrator’s award, the parties shall have the right to judicial review of 
the arbitrator’s award to determine whether the arbitrator’s findings of fact are 
supported by substantial evidence and whether the arbitrator’s conclusions of 
law are based on legal error or are erroneous under the applicable substantive 
law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in 
any  court  having  jurisdiction  thereof.  However,  if  the  award  is  in  excess  of 
$5,000.00,  judgment  may  be  entered  only  upon  determination  by  the  court 
that the award is supported by substantial evidence and is not erroneous or 
based on legal error. 
Expenses: Regardless of who demands arbitration, we will pay all expenses 
of arbitration, including the filing, administrative, hearing and arbitrator’s fees 
(“Arbitration Fees”), to the extent that the Arbitration Fees exceed the amounts 
you  would  be  required  to  pay  for  filing  a  lawsuit  in  a  court. Throughout  the 
arbitration, each party shall bear his or her own attorney fees and expenses, 
such as witness and expert witness fees. If you prevail in the arbitration of any 
Claim against us, we will reimburse you for any fees you paid to the arbitration 
organization in connection with the arbitration.
Binding Effect and Survival: You and we agree that, except as specifically 
provided  for  above,  the  arbitrator’s  decision  will  be  final  and  binding  on  all 
parties subject to this Provision. This Provision is binding upon you, us, and 
the  heirs,  successors,  assigns  and  related  third  parties  of  you  and  us. This 
Provision  shall  survive  termination  of  your  account,  whether  it  be  through 
voluntary payment of the debt in full by you, a legal proceeding initiated by 
us to collect a debt that you owe, a bankruptcy by you or a sale of your Credit 
Account by us.
Severability: If any portion of this Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable 
under  any  law  or  statute  consistent  with  the  FAA,  such  a  finding  shall  not 
invalidate any remaining portion of this Provision, the Contract or any other 
agreement  entered  into  by  you  with  us.  However,  the  prohibition  on  class 
arbitration is not severable from the remainder of this Provision. In the event 
that  a  court  deems  the  prohibition  on  class  arbitration  to  be  invalid  and 
unenforceable, any subsequent class action or representative proceeding shall 
be in a court of law and will not be subject to binding arbitration.

CREDIT CARD CONTRACT AND 
ACCOUNT OPENING DISCLOSURES (cont’d)
This Contract explains the terms and conditions of your Credit Account with 
us,  including  important  provisions  relating  to  arbitration  and  litigation.  For 
additional important information on fees and INTEREST CHARGES and 
other contract provisions that apply to your Credit Account, please review 
the Account Opening Disclosures printed on the card carrier containing 
your Card. Be sure to retain all Contract documents for future reference.

YOUR CONTRACT WITH US
Your MasterCard® or Visa® brand Credit Account is governed by the terms 
and conditions in this Contract and the Account Opening Disclosures printed 
on the card carrier containing your Card (“Contract”).
Applicable Law:  No matter where you live, our Contract with you and the 
terms of your Credit Account will be governed by the laws of the State of South 
Dakota and applicable federal law.
Certain  Agreements  and  Waivers:  You  understand 
that  you  are 
acknowledging,  confirming  and  ratifying  the  debt  transferred  to  your  Credit 
Account as an Initial Balance Transfer (“Old Debt”), to the full extent allowed 
by  law,  you  are  waiving  any  defense  that  would  prevent  us  from  collecting 
the Old Debt. The defenses you are waiving include a defense that the time 
may  have  expired  for  filing  a  lawsuit  to  collect  the  Old  Debt. The  Statue  of 
Limitations  requires  a  lawsuit  be  filed  within  a  specific  time  after  a  debt  is 
in default and would prevent the collection of the debt in a court of law if a 
lawsuit is not filed within the required time. You agree that this Contract: (1) 
serves as your written acknowledgement of the justness and accuracy of the 
Old  Debt;  (2)  evidences  your  willingness  and  promise  to  pay  the  Old  Debt 
pursuant to the terms of this Contract; and (3) serves as your signature to, and 
acceptance of, this Contract to the full extent required by any applicable law 
and establishes a written agreement between you and us. Even though your 
agreement to transfer the Old Debt to a Credit Account with us would allow us 
to sue you for non-payment of the Old Debt if you do not pay as agreed (as 
explained previously), we irrevocably agree that we will not sue for collection 
of any portion of the Old Debt at any time. We do not, however, waive our right 
to sue you for any balance other than the Old Debt, such as Purchases, Cash 
Advances, INTEREST CHARGES, costs and fees, that are created after your 
Credit Account  is  opened. You  also  understand  that  by  transferring  the  Old 
Debt to a Credit Account with us, the Old Debt will be included in the balance 
on your Credit Account that we may report to Consumer Reporting Agencies. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act prohibits reporting balances which were charged 
off more than seven years previously. By transferring the Old Debt to a Credit 
Account with us, the balance of the Old Debt will become a new obligation on 
your Credit Account which may be reported to Consumer Reporting Agencies 
beyond  the  seven-year  period  applicable  to  the  Old  Debt. You  agree  not  to 
use this Credit Account unless you sign the back of your Card and accept the 
conditions of this Contract.
Effective Date: This Contract is effective upon the transfer of the Old Debt 
to  your  Credit  Account  as  an  Initial  Balance  Transfer.  If,  after  reading  this 
Contract, you do not agree to all terms hereof, you must notify us in writing 
within 30 days after we mail this Contract to you that you do not wish to be 
bound by the terms of the Contract and your Credit Account will be closed and 
the Initial Balance Transfer applied to your Credit Account will be reversed. The 
settled amount of the debt that had been transferred to your Credit Account 
will then be subject to collection efforts. You will be responsible for any other 
Purchase or Cash Advance applied to your Credit Account even if your Credit 
Account is cancelled as described in this paragraph. You may or may not be 
able to renegotiate a new settlement with the owner of the debt.

the provision above, that person is an Authorized User, even if we did not issue 
an additional Card in the Authorized User’s name. At your request, and if we 
agree, we may issue an additional Card in the name of an Authorized User with 
your Credit Account number.
You will be responsible for all charges, Cash Advances, INTEREST CHARGES, 
Purchases and fees incurred by any Authorized User. We are not required to 
try to obtain payment from any Authorized User before requiring payment from 
you. 
If you wish to remove an Authorized User from your Credit Account you must 
contact  us  either  by  telephone  or  in  writing. You  will  still  be  responsible  for 
payment of all Purchases, Cash Advances, INTEREST CHARGES and fees 
incurred  or  obtained  by  the  Authorized  User.  We  may  close  your  existing 
Credit Account and issue you a new Card and account number. You and each 
Authorized User agree that we may report account information to Consumer 
Reporting Agencies in the names of both you and the Authorized User.
Lost or Stolen Cards: To protect your rights, you must notify us immediately at 
1-800-987-5521 if your Card is lost or stolen or if you suspect that it has been 
used or may be used without your permission. If your Card is reported as lost or 
stolen or you are claiming unauthorized use of your Credit Account or Card, we 
may require you to file one or more reports with the appropriate law enforcement 
agencies and us prior to our removal of possible unauthorized charges made 
against your Credit Account. You will not be liable for unauthorized use of your 
Card. Certain exceptions apply and you may be liable for up to $50.00.
Refusal  to  Accept  Your  Card:  We  are  not  responsible  if  any  person  or 
merchant  does  not  accept  your  Card,  or  if  an ATM  or  other  device  fails  to 
properly operate. All transactions, even when you get a receipt, are subject to 
our final verification.
Cards Are Our Property: You agree to return each Card issued on your Credit 
Account to us upon our demand.

USING YOUR CREDIT ACCOUNT
Your Promise To Pay: You agree to pay us for all charges, Cash Advances, 
INTEREST CHARGES, Purchases and fees incurred on your Credit Account 
by you, or by any Authorized User, as well as any other fees imposed by us, 
as explained in this Contract. If more than one person requests, accepts or 
uses  the  Credit Account,  each  and  every  person  individually  and  jointly  are 
responsible for payment until the account is paid in full.
Joint Account  Holders:  If  this  is  a  joint  Credit Account,  each  person  who 
signed the application: (1) may obtain Purchases and Cash Advances not to 
exceed the total credit limit; (2) will be responsible for paying all amounts owed; 
and (3) can close the Credit Account.
Accessing Your Credit Line: You can use the Card and your Credit Account 
to make Purchases and obtain Cash Advances. Upon your request, you may 
be assigned a Personal Identification Number (PIN). If a PIN is assigned to 
you, you can obtain a Cash Advance at any authorized ATM by using the Card 
and PIN.
Understanding  Your  Credit  Limit:    Your  “Credit  Limit”  is  the  maximum 
amount of credit we have approved for your Credit Account. Your Credit Limit 
is the same amount as your Initial Balance Transfer when you open your Credit 
Account, so you will not be able to use your card for other Purchases or Cash 
Advances until you make a payment. The amount of available credit at any 
time will be your Credit Limit minus the balance of your Initial Balance Transfer 
and any other Purchases, Cash Advances, INTEREST CHARGES, fees and 
other charges. When your Credit Account is first opened, your available credit 
will be $0 until you pay at least the total Minimum Amount Due. The amount 
of  available  credit  will  not  necessarily  be  equal  to  the  amount  of  payments 
made  to  your  Credit  Account  because  fees,  INTEREST  CHARGES  and 
other  charges  may  be  applied  to  your  Credit Account.  The  amount  of  your 
Credit Limit is printed on the card carrier containing your Card and on your 
Statements. Your balance may not exceed your Credit Limit at any time. At 

our sole discretion, we may honor Purchases or Cash Advances in excess of 
your Credit Limit without raising your Credit Limit. If we do, we may require you 
to pay us any amount over your Credit Limit immediately. Decisions on Credit 
Limit increases may be based on your performance under this Credit Account 
and other Related Credit Accounts you have with us and other credit criteria. If 
we have previously allowed your balance to exceed your Credit Limit, it does 
not mean that we will permit your balance to exceed your Credit Limit again. 
We reserve the right to approve or deny authorizations or transactions from 
any merchant at our sole discretion.
Obtaining  Cash Advances:  You  may  take  Cash Advances  on  your  Credit 
Account in any of the following ways: By presenting the Card to us or any other 
participating MasterCard® or Visa® financial institution to obtain cash, by using 
the Card at an authorized merchant, other non-bank entity, or an Automated 
Teller Machine (ATM) or other device to obtain cash or cash equivalent, or to 
make a transfer from your Credit Account to any other deposit or loan account. 
Even if you use your Credit Account to obtain cash from a non-bank entity, the 
transaction will be described as a Bank Cash Advance.
You may not take Cash Advances in excess of $500.00 per day. The minimum 
Cash Advance per transaction is $20.00. For Credit Accounts opened on or 
after June 1, 2003, your initial Cash Advance limit will be 10% of your assigned 
Credit  Limit.  Once  your  Credit  Account  has  been  open  and  active  for  a 
minimum of 90 days, has two consecutive months of current payment history, 
is not currently delinquent and no payments have been returned for the past 60 
days, your Cash Advance availability may be increased to 50% of the assigned 
Credit Limit. For example, if your Credit Limit is $250.00, your beginning Cash 
Advance limit will be $25.00 and may increase to $125.00 once the criteria 
above are met. In any event, you will not be able to obtain a Cash Advance to 
the extent you do not have available credit.

RECEIVING STATEMENTS, OTHER INFORMATION AND
COMMUNICATIONS FROM US
Where We Send Statements: We will send Statements and any other notices 
to you at the address shown in our files. If this is a joint Credit Account, we 
can  send  Statements  and  notices  to  either  of  you.  You  agree  to  notify  us 
promptly  of  any  change  in  your  address.  We  may  accept  address  changes 
or  corrections  from  the  United  States  Postal  Service.  We  may  also  mail 
Statements and other communications to you at any address we determine to 
be an address at which you can receive mail. If you elect to receive Statements 
and other communications electronically, we may send those Statements and 
communications as directed by you.
When You Receive Your Statements: We will send you a Statement at the 
end of each monthly Billing Cycle in which your Credit Account has a debit 
or  credit  balance  of  more  than  $1.00,  if  an  INTEREST  CHARGE  has  been 
imposed or if other account activity has occurred. Your Statements will arrive 
around the same time each month, however we reserve the right to change the 
date of your Billing Cycle at any time.
Understanding Your Statement: The Statements we send to you will reflect 
the activity and our  INTEREST CHARGES and other charges, costs and fees 
on your Credit Account during the Billing Cycle. They will also show your Total 
Minimum Amount Due and Payment Due Date, which is the date by which we 
must  receive  payment.  The  information  contained  on  the  Statement  will  be 
deemed to be correct unless you advise us in writing of any error within 60 days 
of the date on which we send your Statement. If there are more than one of you 
living at different addresses, we will send the Statements only to the person 
named as the “Applicant” in your application.
Your Consent for Calls and/or Text Messages to Your Cellular Phone: If 
we collect your cellular phone number from you, from another source, or as 
a result of receiving a cellular phone call from you, you expressly consent to 
accept from us, our affiliates or any third party acting on our behalf:
(1) Calls or text messages for collection purposes or for other account-related 
purposes, such as to process your application.
(2) Calls or text messages that we initiate to your cellular phone number made 

or transmitted using any automatic telephone dialing system and/or containing 
prerecorded messages.
You agree you will be responsible for any fees or charges you incur as a result 
of incoming calls or text messages from us, from our affiliates or from any third 
party acting on behalf of us or our affiliates.
E-mail:  By  providing  us  with  your  e-mail  address,  you  consent  to  receive 
correspondence electronically from us and our affiliates and service providers. 
You agree that we may communicate with you by e-mail for any lawful reason.
Other  Communication  Devices:  If  you  provide  us  with  any  other  form  of 
electronic communication mechanism, you agree that we may communicate 
with you by that mechanism for any lawful reason.

ABOUT YOUR PAYMENTS
Amount  of  Payment:  You  must  make  Minimum  Payments  on  your  Credit 
Account. Refer to the Minimum Payment provisions in the Account Opening 
Disclosures printed on the card carrier containing your Card for more detailed 
information. Payments made in any Billing Cycle that are greater than the Total 
Minimum Amount Due will not affect your obligation to make the next monthly 
Minimum Payment. Each month your Statement shows a New Balance you 
must  pay  the  Total  Minimum Amount  Due.  Generally,  credits  to  your  Credit 
Account, such as those generated by merchants, are not treated as payments 
on your Credit Account and will not reduce your Total Minimum Amount Due. 
You have until the Payment Due Date shown on the front of your Statement, 
which is not less than 27 days from the Closing Date, to pay the Total Minimum 
Amount Due.
Applying Your Payments: We may apply your payment to whichever balances 
we choose to the extent it does not exceed the Total Minimum Amount Due 
shown  on  your  Statement.    The  amount  of  your  payment  in  excess  of  the 
Total Minimum Amount Due will be applied to balances subject to the highest 
APR prior to balances subject to lower APRs.  We may apply your payment to 
principal amounts, INTEREST CHARGES, fees and other charges in any order 
we choose, and we may change the order of application of payments from time 
to time at our discretion.
Availability of Credit: Available credit created as a result of payments posted 
to your Credit Account may not be available for up to 20 days, or even longer if 
circumstances warrant an additional hold, or if we deem ourselves at risk for any 
reason. Your available credit may be limited, from time to time, if you provide 
your Credit Account number or Card to a merchant that processes advance 
authorizations, such as hotels, motels and car rental. Such an authorization 
may  limit  your  ability  to  make  Purchases  and  take  Cash Advances  on  your 
Credit Account until the authorization is canceled by the merchant and your 
available credit is released.
Electronic Check Presentment: When you send us a personal check, you 
authorize  us  to  either  use  information  from  your  check  to  make  a  one-time 
electronic transfer from your account, or to process the payment as a check 
transaction. If your check is processed electronically, your canceled check will 
not be returned to you by your financial institution. We will retain an image of 
your electronically processed check(s) as required by law. If requested prior 
to the time we are allowed by law to destroy electronically processed checks, 
we will provide you with a copy of your electronically processed check(s) upon 
your request. Funds may be withdrawn from your bank account as soon as 
the day your payment is received. We agree to accept your checking account 
statement  as  proof  of  payment.  The  description  on  your  checking  account 
statement will read: PREMIER CR CARD CHECK-PAYMT, serial number of 
the check, amount of the payment and date of the transaction. If you choose 
to opt out of electronic check presentment, please call our Customer Service 
Department at 1-800-987-5521.
Late Payments: We may accept late payments, partial payments or checks 
or  other  payment  instruments  marked  to  impose  terms  or  conditions  of 
acceptance such as “paid in full” without waiving any of our rights under this 
Contract, and no attempt by you to impose any term or condition of acceptance 
will be effective against us.  Satisfaction of a debt for less than the full amount 

due  or  imposition  of  any  other  term  or  condition  on  us  requires  a  written 
agreement, signed by an authorized Bank representative.

Account, either of you may request that the Credit Account be closed and we 
will honor that request.

time of account opening) if (1) you have not used your Card for a Purchase

statement.  We will refund any Credit Limit Increase Fee charged to your Credit 
Account if you notify us, within 30 days of the date of the Periodic Statement 
on which it appears, that you do not wish to have the credit limit increase.  This 
will result in a reversal of the credit limit increase.  Except as described in this 
paragraph, these fees are non-refundable.  

OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Severability: If any provision of this Contract is invalid or unenforceable, it shall 
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Contract.

•  To comply with any properly served subpoena or similar request issued 

by a state or federal agency or court.

by common ownership or corporate control; or (2) information on your 
Credit Account with certain companies to provide or offer you selected 
products, services or cardholder benefits. You may direct us not to share

the Credit Account and any renewal or future extension of credit. If you ask, 
you will be told whether or not consumer reports on you were requested and

Purchase or post a Cash Advance to your Credit Account before we receive 
actual written notice of your death or incompetence, or if we pay a merchant 
for a Purchase made by you or post a Cash Advance taken by you prior to 
your death or incompetence, that transaction will be a valid and binding Credit 
Account obligation upon you, your estate and your personal representatives.
Our Liability To You: We have no liability to you, other than as placed on us by 
law. We will meet our duty to care for your Credit Account(s) under reasonable

considered a failure to perform any of our obligations.

currency, it will be converted into U.S. dollars, and you agree to accept the 
converted amount. Visa USA, Inc. or MasterCard International, Inc. will use
