“Balance Transfers” may be obtained when you complete a request.  We are not responsible for any 
person or entity refusing to accept the Card or any Credit Device for Purchases or Cash Advances. 

Promise to Pay.  You promise to pay us for all Purchases made by you and for all Cash Advances 
and Balance Transfers received by you except as limited in this Agreement regarding your liability 
for  unauthorized  use  of  a  Card  or  Credit  Device.    You  shall  be  jointly  and  severally  liable  for  all 
amounts  due  from  you  under  this  Agreement  for  Purchases,  Cash  Advances,  Balance  Transfers, 
Interest Charges, and Other Charges. 

Special  Checks.    If  Special  Checks  are  issued  from  time  to  time  for  use  with  your  Account,  you 
may  obtain  what  is  deemed  to  be  a  Cash  Advance  under  the  Account  by  writing  a  check.  Each 
Special Check must be in a form we have issued to you and must be imprinted with your name and 
the  Account  number.  Special  Checks  may  be  used  only  by  a  person  whose  name  is  printed  on  the 
Check and  must be completed and signed in the same way as a regular personal check. You agree 
not to use your Special Checks to purchase or carry securities or to pay amounts you owe us under 
this Agreement. We are not obligated to pay a Special Check (a) if your resulting Account balance 
would exceed the Credit Limit, (b) if the Check is dated more than 6 months before it was presented 

to us for payment, (c) if a Special Check or Card has been reported lost or stolen, (d) if you are in 
default  under  this  Agreement  or  a  loan  agreement  with  another  lender,  (e)  if  you  or  we  have 
terminated your ability to receive further credit under this Agreement, (f) if you are insolvent, or (g) 
if your Card has expired. The amount of each Special Check paid by us, even if we are not obligated 
to pay it, will be a Cash Advance. Checks paid by us will not be returned to you with your monthly 
billing  statement,  but  information  about  them  will  appear  on  such  statement.  You  agree  you  will 
promptly  review  your  monthly  billing  statement  to  discover  any  unauthorized  or  altered  Special 
Checks.  You cannot put a stop-payment order on a Special Check. 

Refunds and Adjustments.  Any refund, adjustment, or credit allowed by any seller or other person 
or entity shall not be by cash but rather by a credit to the Account appearing on your monthly billing 
statement. 

Monthly Billing Statements.  Each month we will send you a monthly billing statement reflecting 
all  Purchases,  Cash  Advances,  Balance  Transfers,  Interest  Charges  and  Other  Charges  pursuant  to 
this Agreement for the prior monthly period.  Such statements shall be deemed correct and accepted 
by you unless you notify us to the contrary in writing within 60 days of our mailing such statement 
to you. 

Payments  on  the  Account.    Your  payment  under  the  Account  must  be  made  on  or  before  the 
"Payment Due Date" reflected on your monthly billing statement.  Your payment must be either the 
full  amount  billed  or,  at  your  option,  an  installment  equal  to  at  least  the  required  "Minimum 
Payment Due" stated on the billing statement.  The minimum payment will equal the "New Balance" 
shown  on  your  statement  if  that  amount  is  less  than  $25.    If  the  New  Balance  exceeds  $25,  the 
minimum payment will equal the greater of 3% of the New Balance or $25, plus the entire portion of 
the New Balance in excess of your Credit Limit, plus any amount past due. 

Payments  must  be  made  in  U.S.  dollars  drawn  on  a  U.S.  bank.   Transactions  in  foreign  currencies 
will  be  converted  to  U.S.  dollars  at  the  exchange  rate  used  at  the  time  of  the  conversion.    The 
conversion may occur after the transaction date and the conversion rate may differ from the rate of 
exchange  in  effect  at  the  time  of  the  transaction.    You  agree  to  pay  the  converted  amount  to  us  in 
U.S. dollars, plus any charge for the conversion or processing that may be imposed. 

All payments on the account must be made at the address shown on your monthly billing statement 
and are considered to have been  made on the date received at that address.   If payment  is  made at 
any location other than the designated address, credit for such payment may be delayed for up to 5 
days.  As allowed by law, we may accept payments  marked "payment in full" (or words of similar 
intent)  without  losing  any  of  our  rights  to  collect  the  full  balance  due  under  the  Account  and  this 
Agreement.    We  will  apply  your  payments  to  the  unpaid  balance  of  the  Account  in  the  order  and 
manner we decide, in our sole discretion. 

Late Payments and Increase in Rate.  If you allow your Account to become 60 days past due, we 
may increase your APR on all balances to a higher rate equal to the Index plus a margin of 15.99%  
up to a maximum of 21%.  This  means if you fail to at least pay your required  minimum  monthly 
payment for the periods stated above, your  APR may increase; however, if your Rate is increased, 
your  Account  may  become  eligible  for  a  lower  APR  if  you  make  timely  payments  for  three 
consecutive months. 

Payment  Holidays.    At  our  option  we  may  permit  you  from  time  to  time  to  skip  making  the 
Minimum Payment Due for a specified billing cycle (referred to as a "payment holiday").   Even if 
you  accept  such  a  payment  holiday,  we  will  continue  to  assess  Interest  Charges  on  the  unpaid 
balance of the Account as disclosed in the Insert.  Any payment holiday we permit will not affect the 
terms  of  this  Agreement.    The  terms  of  this  Agreement  remain  in  force  regardless  of  whether  you 
accept a payment holiday. 

Credit  Limit;  Cash  Advance  Limit.    You  agree  not  to  use  or  permit  others  to  use  the  Card, 
information from the Card, or a Credit Device if such use would cause either (i) the balance of the 
Account to exceed the Credit  Limit we set from time to time or (ii) the balance of the outstanding 
Cash  Advances  to  exceed  the  Cash  Advance  Limit  applicable  to  such  Credit  Limit.    The  initial 
Credit Limit for the Account is shown on the material accompanying the Card before the Account is 
used and will also be disclosed on each monthly billing statement for the Account.  We may, at our 
option, extend credit under the Account which exceeds the Credit Limit or the Cash Advance Limit.  
If  we  do,  you  agree  to  immediately  pay  the  excess  which  we  advanced  to  you  over  either  of  the 
applicable limits.  We are not obligated to allow any Purchase, Cash Advance or Balance  Transfer 
which will exceed your Credit Limit or Cash Advance Limit, and if we do, we are not obligated to 
do  so  at  a  later  time.   You  agree  we  may  change  your  Credit  Limit  (which  will  automatically  also 
change your Cash Advance Limit) or cancel the Account if you exceed the Credit Limit or the Cash 
Advance Limit. 

Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies.  If a transaction is made in a foreign currency, we and 
MasterCard International or VISA International, depending on which card is used, will convert the 
transaction  into  a  U.S.  dollar  amount.      MasterCard  and  VISA  will  act  in  accordance  with  their 
operating  regulations  or  conversion  procedures  in  effect  at  the  time  the  transaction  is  processed. 
Currently,  their  regulations  and  procedures  provide  that  the  currency  conversion  rate  they  use,  to 
determine  the  transaction  amount  in  U.S.  dollar,  is  either  (a)  a  wholesale  market  rate,  or  (b)  a 
government-mandated  rate  in  effect  one  day  prior  to  the  processing  date.  MasterCard  and  VISA 
increase  this  conversion  rate  by  one  percent  (1%)  and  keep  this  increase  as  compensation  for 
performing the currency conversion service.  We will charge you two percent (2%) of the U.S. dollar 
amount  of  the  transaction  converted  from  a  foreign  currency.  The  currency  conversion  rate 
calculated in this manner that is in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on 
the transaction date or posting date. 

Other Charges.  You agree we may assess, in addition to the Interest Charge, the Other Charges 
below which charges will be earned when assessed and are not subject to refund or rebate.  The 
following fees may be added, as applicable, to the Account and treated as a Purchase as indicated on 
the Insert: 

1. 

Annual Fee.  A non-refundable annual membership fee may be charged to the Account during 
the  month  following  issuance  or  re-issuance of  the  Card  and  will  be  posted  annually  on  the 
anniversary date of the opening of the Account.  The annual membership fee is not refundable 
even if the Account is closed for any reason by either you or us, and the fee is a condition of 
maintaining  the  Account  whether  or  not  you  use  the  Account  by  making  Purchases  or 
receiving Cash Advances. 

2. 

Late Fee.  If the minimum required payment is not received by the Payment Due Date for that 
billing cycle, we may assess a $25 late charge on the Account.

Cash Advance Fee.  If you request a Cash Advance, in addition to the Interest Charge which

statements, you will be charged $5 for each. We will not assess you this fee if you request a 
billing  statement  for  a  billing  error/inquiry  that  you  may  assert  against  us  under  applicable 
law. If you request expedited delivery of a Card, you will be charged $25.  If you  make any 
other Supplemental Convenience Requests, you agree to pay our reasonable charges for such 
request in effect at that time. 

Termination; Default.  We may reduce the Credit Limit or terminate your ability to receive further 
credit under this Agreement at any time without notice.  You may terminate your ability to receive 
further credit under this Agreement by giving us notice of termination and returning to us all Cards

authorized by you).

Governing Law; Severability.  You agree that your obligations under this Agreement represented 
by charges to the Account are contracted for and become binding when the sales drafts, credit card 
slips,  or  other  Credit  Devices  are  accepted  by  us  and  we  cause  the  holders  of  the  same  to be  paid.  
You agree that these events occur in Georgia. This Agreement is subject to federal law and, to the 
extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Georgia (except to the extent that this 
Agreement can and does vary from such rules or laws), without regard to conflict of laws principals. 
If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the law, you agree the provision will be viewed as 
if  it  was  amended  to  comply  with  the  law.    If  that  is  not  possible,  then  only  the  provision  that 
conflicts  with  the  law  will  be  deleted.    The  remaining  provisions  of  this  Agreement  will  remain 
effective.

question,  or  report  you  as  delinquent  on  the  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: 

1. 

2. 

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 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. 

2. 

3. 

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.) 
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. 
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  at  BBCS,  Attn:    Dispute  Department,  1550  North  Brown  Road,  Suite  150, 
Lawrenceville, GA  30043. 

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.

Prime Rate:  After the introductory rate, the APR will vary based on changes in the Index, the Prime Rate (the base rate on corporate 
loans posted by at least 70% of the 10 largest U.S. banks) published in the Wall Street Journal.  The Index will be adjusted on the 25th 
day of each month or the business day preceding the 25th day if that day falls on a weekend or a holiday recognized by the Board of 
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Changes in the Index  will take effect beginning  with the first billing cycle in the  month 
following a change  in the Index. Increases or decreases in  the Index  will cause the  APR and periodic rate to fluctuate, resulting in 
increased or decreased Interest Charges on the Account.  As of March 25, 2020, the Index was 3.25%. 

a We add 11.99% to the Prime Rate to determine the APR for Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances.  The Account will

How Interest Charges are Determined & When They are Imposed 

Interest Charges on the Account will be figured on each monthly billing statement by applying the periodic rate to the total Balance 
Subject to Interest Charges.  The periodic rate used to compute Interest Charges is disclosed above and is a monthly rate which, when 
multiplied by 12, equals the APR disclosed above. If you obtain Cash Advances, Balance Transfers or elect to pay for Purchases in 
installments,  each  periodic  statement  will  include  an  Interest  Charge.    There  is  no  minimum  Interest  Charge.    In  connection  with 
Cash Advances and Balance Transfers, the first monthly billing statement after you receive a Cash Advance or Balance Transfer will 
include an Interest Charge from the date the transaction is posted to your Account. There is no period within which you may repay 
cash advances or balance transfers in order to avoid an Interest Charge. 

Interest  Charges  will  not  be  imposed  on  purchases  posted  to  your  account  in  certain  circumstances.   For  example,  assuming  that 
billing cycles begin on the first day and end on the last day of each calendar month, and the month of June is the “current” billing 
cycle: if (1) the purchase balance at the end of the preceding May billing cycle is paid in full by the payment due date (in June) for 
the May billing cycle and (2) the purchase balance at the end of the June billing cycle is paid in full by its payment due date (in July), 
no Interest Charges will be imposed on purchases posted to the account during June.  However, if the purchase balance of the May 
billing cycle is not paid in full by its payment due date in June, Interest Charges will be imposed on purchases posted to the account 
in  June  from  the  date  of  such  posting.    If  the  June  purchase  balance  is  not  paid  in  full  by  its  payment  due  date  in  July,  Interest 
Charges will be imposed from the first day of the July billing cycle on, but only on, the portion of June purchases not paid by the 
payment due date in July. 

Any portion of the New Balance appearing on a monthly billing statement (including Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, Purchases, 
Interest Charge and Other Charges) which is not paid in full and credited to the Account by the “Payment Due Date” shown on that 
statement becomes part of the “Previous Balance” on your next monthly billing statement. 

All payments received by 5:00 p.m. during our normal business day at the address indicated on the monthly billing statement will be 
credited to the Account as of the date of receipt of payment.  If payment is made at any location other than such address, credit for 
the payment may be delayed up to 5 days. 

Method of Computing Balance Subject to Interest Charge 

The Balance Subject to an Interest Charge is the sum of the “Average Daily Balance” for Purchases and the “Average Daily Balance” 
for Cash Advances and Balance Transfers, computed as follows: 

The Average Daily Balance for Purchases is computed by adding each day’s ending balance for the current billing cycle (less any 
Interest Charge included therein and excluding any Cash Advances and Balance Transfers made during the current billing cycle), and 
dividing  the  total  of  such  balances  by  the  number  of  days  in  the  billing  cycle.    Such  total  will  include  Purchases  and  debit 
adjustments  made  during  the  current  billing  cycle  only  if  you  have  not  paid  in  full  the  New  Balance  figure  from  the  previous 
statement  as  indicated  by  a  “Payment”  figure  equal  to  or  greater  than  the  “Previous  Balance”  figure  under  the  Summary  of 
Transactions on the statement for the current billing cycle. 

The  Average  Daily  Balance  for  Cash  Advances  and  Balance  Transfers  is  computed  by  adding  each  day’s  outstanding  balance  of 
Cash Advances and Balance Transfers charged to the Account during the current billing cycle, and dividing the total of such balances 
by the number of days in the billing cycle. 

If the Cash Advance and Balance Transfer portion of the New Balance and the Interest Charge applicable thereto are not paid in full 
and credited to the Account by the “Payment Due Date” shown on the first monthly billing statement to which the Cash Advance and 
Balance Transfer is billed, any balance remaining becomes a part of the “Previous Balance” on Cardholder’s next periodic statement 
and is computed as part of the Average Daily Balance for Purchases. 

Armed Forces Members and Dependents 

Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer 
credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual 
percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate  must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: The costs associated  with 
credit  insurance  premiums;  fees  for  ancillary  products  sold  in  connection  with  the  credit  transaction;  any  application  fee  charged 
(other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain 
participation fees for a credit card account). To hear this same disclosure and for a general description of your payment obligations 
for this credit card account, please call us at 1-866-415-4842.
