The  Standard  Annual  Percentage  Rate  (APR)  may  vary  quarterly.  The  APR  is  a  variable  rate 
determined quarterly by adding a margin of 4.65% to 14.40% (depending on our review of your 
application and credit history) to the Prime Rate (Index) which is published in the “Money Rates” 
column of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each calendar quarter. The Index 
will  be  applied  the  first  day  of  your  billing  cycle  that  ends  in  the calendar  month  following each 
quarter  end.  Your  account  shall  be  reviewed  annually  to  determine  the  appropriate  margin  and 
credit score range, and as otherwise required by law.  Changes to your APR will be applied upon 
notification in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Grace Period  
The payment due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. Interest will not be 
charged on purchases if the entire balance is paid by the due date each month. Interest will be 
charged on cash advances and balance transfers on the transaction date.  

Balance Computation Method  
Average daily balance (including purchases) - The Average Daily Balance is arrived at by taking 
the  beginning  balance  of  your  Account  each  day,  adding  new  cash  advances  and  balance 
transfers,  and  unless  you  pay  your  entire  Account  Balance  in  full  by  the  Payment  Due  Date 
shown  on  your  previous  monthly  statement  or  there  is  no  previous  balance,  adding  in  new 
purchases, and subtracting any payments or credits and unpaid FINANCE CHARGES. This gives 
us the daily balance. The daily balances for the billing cycle are then added together and divided 
by the number of days in the billing cycle. The result is the “Average Daily Balance.” The Periodic 
Rate portion of the FINANCE CHARGE is determined by multiplying the Average Daily Balance 
by the number of days in the billing cycle and applying the respective periodic rate to the product. 
If your periodic rate is computed based on an Index, your periodic rate(s) may vary.

Notice: Read and retain this copy of your Agreement and Truth-in-Lending Disclosure for 
future reference. 

TERMS  USED 
IN  THIS  AGREEMENT:  This  Agreement  and  Disclosure  Statement 
(“Agreement”)  cover  your  GECU  Platinum  MasterCard®  and  Family  Account  Platinum 
MasterCard (“Account”) with us. In this Agreement, the word “you” and “your” means any person 
who  signs  either  the  GECU  Platinum  MasterCard  or  Family  Account  Platinum  MasterCard 
Application  (“Application”)  or  any  person  who  uses  the  Card(s).  “We,”  “our,”  and  “us”  means 
GECU, primary address located at 1225 Airway Drive, El  Paso, TX 79925. The “Card” means 
any  credit  card  issued  to  you  or  those  designated  by  you  under  the  terms  of  this  Agreement. 
“Use of the Card” means any procedure used by you, or someone authorized by you, to make a 
purchase  or  an  advance  whether  or  not  the  purchase  or  advance  is  evidenced  by  a  signed 
written  document.  For  the  Family  Account  MasterCard,  “Key  Account  Holder”  means  the 
Account  Applicant  as  set  forth  in  the  Application.  “Unauthorized  use”  means  the  use  of  your 
Card by a person, other than you, who does not have actual, implied or apparent authority for 
such use, and from which you receive no benefit. In this Agreement, any plural terms shall be 
deemed singular and any singular terms shall be deemed plural when context and construction 
so require. 

If you have a FAMILY ACCOUNT MASTERCARD: This Account is either the primary GECU 
Family Account Platinum MasterCard (the “Key Account”) or another Family Account Platinum 
MasterCard on which the Key Account Holder is an obligor (a “Dependent Account”). All of the 
Key  Account  Holder’s  Family  Account  Platinum  MasterCards  are  linked  together  by  us,  which 
allows the Key Account Holder to easily monitor the activity on all accounts and set Dependent 
Account credit limits within limits established by us. Each statement period, we will send the Key 
Account Holder a comprehensive periodic statement covering the activity for this Account and 
all other linked accounts. If this Account is designated as a “Parent Pay” Account, then the Key 
Account  Holder  will  receive  the  official  periodic  statement  for  this  Account  and  may  designate 
that  we  also  send  a  separate  courtesy  Account  statement  to  certain  other  cardholders.  If  this 
Account  is  designated  as  a  “Dependent  Pay”  Account,  then  we  will  send  the  official  periodic 
statement for this Account to the Joint Applicant (or, if there is more than one Joint Applicant, to 
the  Joint  Applicant  designated  by  the  Key  Account  Holder).  In  such  event,  the  Key  Account 
Holder’s  periodic  statement  will  only  include  a  courtesy  periodic  statement  for  this  Account. 

Rev. 4/1/11 

 
 
 
 
 
Regardless  of  whether  the  Key  Account  Holder  designates  this  Account  as  a  Parent  Pay  or 
Dependent  Pay  Account,  you  agree  that  the  party  to  whom  we  send  the  official  periodic 
statement for this Account is the party responsible for remitting this Account’s required payment 
to us by the “Payment Due Date” shown on the official periodic statement. 

EXTENSION OF CREDIT: If your application is approved, we may, at our discretion, establish 
an Account in your name and cause one or more Cards to be issued to you or those designated 
by  you.  In  such  event,  you  authorize  us  to  pay  for  your  Account,  all  items  reflecting  credit 
purchases, balance transfers, and cash advances obtained through use of the Card. 

JOINT APPLICANT LIABILITY: If this Agreement is executed by more than one person, each 
of you shall be jointly and individually liable to us for all charges made to the Account, including 
applicable  fees.  In  addition,  you  agree  that  each  of  you  designates  the  other  as  agent  for  the 
purpose  of  making  purchases  extended  under  this  Agreement  and  each  use  of  your  Account 
shall be an extension of credit to all. Notice to one of you shall constitute notice to all. Any joint 
cardholder  may  remove  him/herself  from  responsibility  for  future  purchases  at  any  time  by 
notifying  us  in  writing.  However,  removal  from  the  Account  does  not  release  you  from  any 
liability already incurred. 

CONVENIENCE CHECKS: We may, at our discretion, issue checks to you which may be used 
for  any  purpose  other  than  making  a  payment  for  credit  to  your  Account.  By  signing  such 
checks, you authorize us to pay the item for the amount indicated and post such amount as a 
cash  advance  to  your  Account.  We  do  not  have  to  pay  any  item  which  would  cause  the 
outstanding balance in your Account to exceed your credit limit. 

OTHERS  USING  YOUR  ACCOUNT:  If  you  allow  anyone  else  to  use  your  Card,  you  will  be 
liable  for  all  credit  extended  to  such  persons.  You  promise  to  pay  for  all  purchases,  balance 
transfers and cash advances made by anyone whom you authorize to use your Card, whether 
or not you notify us that he or she will be using it. If someone else is authorized to use your card 
and you want to end that person’s privilege, you must notify us in writing and, if he or she has a 
Card, you must return the Card with your written notice for it to be effective. 

CREDIT LIMITS: You promise that payments we make for your Account(s) resulting from use of 
the Card will, at no time, cause the outstanding balance of your Account to exceed your credit 
limit as established by us or as adjusted form time to time at our discretion. 

PROMISE TO PAY: You promise to pay us in U.S. dollars for (a) all purchases, cash advances 
and balance transfers made by you or anyone whom you authorize to use the Card or Account; 
(b) FINANCE CHARGES and other charges or fees; (c) collection costs and attorneys’ fees as 
permitted by applicable law and any costs incurred in the recovery of the Card; and (d) credit in 
excess of your credit limit that we may extend to you. At the end of each monthly billing cycle for 
which  you  have  a  balance  on  your  Account,  you  will  be  furnished  with  a  periodic  statement 
showing (i) the “Previous Balance” (the outstanding balance in the Account at the beginning of 
the billing cycle), (ii) the amount of all cash advances, purchases, balance transfers, over-the-
limit fees, late charges, annual fees, FINANCE CHARGES and other charges or fees posted to 
your Account during the billing cycle, (iii) the amount of all payments and credits posted to your 
Account during the billing cycle and (iv) the “New Balance” which is the sum of (i) and (ii) minus 
(iii). 

You agree to pay for your Account on or before the Payment Due Date shown on the monthly 
periodic statement either the entire New Balance or a Minimum Payment equal to any amount, 

Rev. 4/1/11 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
which  is  at  least  2%  of  the  New  Balance  or  $10.00  whichever  is  greater,  plus  any  amount  in 
excess  of  the  credit  limit  established  by  us  and  any  past  due  minimum  payments.  If  the  New 
Balance is $10.00 or less, you agree to pay it in full. You may make extra payments in advance 
of the due date without a penalty and you may repay any funds advanced, credit extended or 
amount outstanding at any time without a penalty for early payment. Regardless of the amount 
of  any  extra  payment  during  a  given  month,  a  monthly  payment  will  be  required  the  following 
month if a balance remains in your Account. 

PLEASE NOTE: 
For  Family  Account  Platinum  MasterCard  Key  Card  Account  Holder:  The  official  periodic 
statement we send to the Key Account Holder will reflect a separate and a combined minimum 
payment for the Key Account and all linked Parent Pay accounts. The Key Account Holder may 
remit  separate  payments  for  the  Key  Account  and  each  linked  Parent  Pay  account  or  may 
combine a payment for multiple accounts. If payment is combined, or if any payment by a Key 
Account  Holder  is  remitted  to  us  by  way  of  the  GoToMyCard.com  website  or  by  any  other 
automated  system,  then  the  payment  will  be  allocated  as  follows  unless  you  tell  us  otherwise 
when you send the payment: Payment will first be applied to pay the required minimum payment 
for  the  Key  Account  and  each  linked  Parent  Pay  account.  Any  excess  amount  will  be  divided 
equally between the Key Account and the Parent Pay accounts. If a combined payment is not 
adequate  to  pay  the  required  minimum  payment  for  the  Key  Account  and  each  Parent  Pay 
account,  then  the  payment  will  first  be  applied  to  cure  any  delinquent  Key  Account  or  Parent 
Pay account and any excess amount will be applied to make the required minimum payment for 
the Key Account and as many Parent Pay accounts as possible. 

COST  OF  CREDIT:  You  will  pay  a  FINANCE  CHARGE  for  all  advances  made  against  your 
Account. FINANCE CHARGES for cash advances and balance transfers begin to accrue on the 
date of the advance. New purchases will not incur a FINANCE CHARGE on the date they are 
posted to your Account if you have paid the Account in full by the Payment Due Date shown on 
your  previous  monthly  statement  or  if  there  was  no  previous  balance.  Cash  Advances  incur a 
FINANCE CHARGE from the date they are posted to your Account. 

No  additional  FINANCE  CHARGES  will  be  imposed  on  new  purchases  shown  on  your 
statement if the New Balance shown on the statement is paid in full by the Payment Due Date 
reflected on the statement. For purchases made with your Card, there is a 25-day grace period 
within which the New Balance may be paid without incurring a FINANCE CHARGE. 

The Periodic Rate portion of the FINANCE CHARGE is figured by applying the periodic rate to 
the  “Balance  Subject  to  FINANCE  CHARGE”  which  is  the  “Average  Daily  Balance”  of  your 
Account, including current transactions. The Average Daily  Balance is arrived at by taking the 
beginning balance of your Account each day, adding new cash advances and balance transfers, 
and unless you pay your entire Account Balance in full by the Payment Due Date shown on your 
previous  monthly  statement  or  there  is  no  previous  balance,  adding  in  new  purchases,  and 
subtracting any payments or credits and unpaid FINANCE CHARGES. This gives us the daily 
balance.  The  daily  balances  for  the  billing  cycle  are  then  added  together  and  divided  by  the 
number of days in the billing cycle. The result is the “Average Daily Balance.” The Periodic Rate 
portion  of  the  FINANCE  CHARGE  is  determined  by  multiplying  the  Average  Daily  Balance  by 
the number of days in the billing cycle and applying the respective periodic rate to the product. If 
your periodic rate is computed based on an Index, your periodic rate(s) may vary. 

If  your  Account  features  an  Introductory  Rate,  you  will  pay  an  Introductory  Rate  FINANCE 
CHARGE for purchases made at the periodic rate and corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE 

Rev. 4/1/11 

 
 
 
 
 
RATE (APR) and for the time period set forth. Thereafter, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 
may  vary  quarterly.  The  APR  (other  than  the  Introductory  APR)  is  a  variable  rate  determined 
quarterly by adding a margin of 4.65% to 14.40% (depending on our review of your application 
and creditworthiness) to the Prime Rate (Index). This Index as published in the “Money Rates” 
column of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each calendar quarter. If the last 
business day of a calendar quarter falls on a weekend or a holiday, then the Index published on 
the preceding business day for that month will be used. The Index will be applied the first day of 
your  billing  cycle  that  ends  in  the  calendar  month  following  each  quarter  end.    Your  account 
shall be reviewed annually to determine the appropriate margin and credit score range, and as 
otherwise  required  by  law.   Changes  to  your  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATE  will  be  applied  upon 
notification in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 

The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for purchases, cash advances or balance transfers, in any 
given billing cycle, except for any Introductory Rate period, will be the Index plus the margin as 
set  forth  in  the  Additional  Disclosure.  These  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATES  are  referred  to 
as  the  Standard  Rate.  The  Standard  Rate  daily  periodic  rate  and  corresponding  ANNUAL 
PERCENTAGE RATE for purchases, cash advances and balance transfers are set forth in the 
Additional Disclosure. 

For  all,  purchases,  cash  advances  and  balance  transfers,  the  Standard  Rate  ANNUAL 
PERCENTAGE RATE  will never be greater than 17.90% with a corresponding Standard Rate 
Daily Periodic Rate of .04904%. 

Please  note  that  the  terms  of  your  account,  including  any  of  the  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE 
RATES, are subject to change. Future changes to the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES will be 
in accordance with the Agreement and Disclosure Statement for your account.

liable  for  any  unauthorized  use  that  occurs  after  you  notify  our  designee  of  the  address  or 
telephone number above.  

SKIP PAYMENT OPTION: We may designate a billing period in which you will have an option 
to  skip  a  payment  or  pay  less  than  the  Minimum  Payment  Due.    If  you  exercise  this  option, 
FINANCE  CHARGES  will  accrue  based  on  your  “Average  Daily  Balance”  as  described  in  the 
GECU  Platinum  MasterCard  and  Family  Account  MasterCard  Agreement  and  Disclosure 
Statements. 

CREDITING OF PAYMENTS: All payments made on your Account at the address designated 
for payment on the monthly periodic statement will be credited on the date of receipt. If the date

paid or agreed to be paid shall not exceed the maximum amount of interest permissible under 
applicable  law,  and  in  any  contingency  whatsoever,  if  we  shall  receive  anything  of  value 
deemed  interest  under  applicable  law  which  would  exceed  the  maximum  amount  of  interest 
permissible under applicable law, the excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the 
unpaid principal amount or refunded to you.

is less than $25, the Returned Payment Fee will be equal to your minimum payment.*

ACCELERATION: If you are in default, without notice to you, we may accelerate your debt and 
call any amounts you owe immediately due and payable, plus FINANCE CHARGES which shall

us  to  transfer  the  balance  of  your  Account  to  another  linked  account  of  yours.  You  expressly 
waive  any  right  to  notice  of  our  intention  to  accelerate  and  notice  that  your  debt  has  been 
accelerated. 

TERMINATION  AND  CHANGES:  You  may  terminate  this  Agreement,  by  written  notice,  as  to 
future  advances  at  any  time.  We  can  terminate  this  Agreement  at  any  time  subject  to  such

Agreement, including the periodic rate, at any time subject to such notice as may be required by 
applicable law.

agree  that  you  will  remain  liable  to  us  under  this  agreement  for  any  such  transaction 
notwithstanding its illegal nature. You agree that any illegal use of the Card will be deemed an 
act  of  default  under  this  Agreement.  You  further  agree  to  waive  any  right  to  take  legal  action 
against  us  for  your  illegal  use  of  the  Card  and  to  indemnify  and  hold  us  MasterCard

that results directly or indirectly from such illegal use. 

FOREIGN  CURRENCY  CONVERSION:  If  you  effect  a  transaction  with  your  MasterCard  in  a 
currency  other  than  U.S.  dollars,  MasterCard  International  will  convert  the  charge  into  a  U.S. 
dollar  amount.  MasterCard  International  will  use  its  currency  conversion  procedure,  which  is 
disclosed  to  institutions  that  issue  MasterCard  cards.  Currently  the  currency  conversion  rate 
used by MasterCard International to determine the transaction amount in U.S. dollars for such 
transactions is generally either a government mandated rate or a wholesale rate determined by 
MasterCard  International  for  the  processing  cycle  in  which  the  transaction  is  processed, 
increased  by  an  adjustment  factor  established  from  time  to  time  by  MasterCard  International. 
The  currency  conversion  rate  used  by  MasterCard  International  on  the  processing  date  may 
differ  from  the  rate  that  would  have  been  used  on  the  purchase  date  or  cardholder  statement 
posting date. We will charge a 1% Foreign Transaction Fee for all international purchases, cash 
disbursements and Account credit transactions.

total  Agreement  and  cannot  in  any  way  be  severed  from  it.  However,  if  any  provision  of  this

all  other  provisions  of  this  Agreement  will  remain  valid  and  enforceable.  You  understand  that 
this Agreement is performable in the country and state of the aforementioned credit union in this

Card.  All  purchases  and  cash  advances  are  extended  at  the  option  of  the  merchant  or  cash 
advancing  financial  institution  and  we  are  not  responsible  for  the  refusal  of  any  merchant  or 
financial  institution  to  honor  your  Card.  The  Card  remains  our  property  at  all  times  and  you 
agree to immediately surrender the Card upon demand. You agree to pay all reasonable costs 
of collection, including court costs and attorney’s fees, and any costs incurred in the recovery of

“payment  in  full”  without  losing  any  of  our  rights  under  the  Agreement.  We  can  also  delay 
enforcing  any  of  our  rights  under  this  Agreement  without  losing  them.  You  expressly  waive 
presentment  for  payment,  demand,  protest,  and  notice  of  protest  and  dishonor  of  same.  You 
agree to give us prompt notice of any change in your name, mailing address, telephone number

WHAT TO DO IF THERE IS AN ERROR ON YOUR STATEMENT 

NOTICE OF YOUR BILLING RIGHTS – 

Rev. 4/1/11 

 
 
 
 
 
 
KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE. 
This  notice  contains  important  information  about  your  rights  and  our  responsibilities  under  the 
Fair Credit Billing Act. 

Notify Us in Case of Errors or Questions About Your Statement. 
If you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction on your 
statement, write us on a separate sheet at the address listed on your statement. Write to us as 
soon  as  possible.  We  must  hear  from  you  no  later  than  60  days  after  we  sent  you  the  first 
statement on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone us, but doing so will not 
preserve your rights. 

In your letter, provide us with the following information: (1) Your name and account number. (2) 
The  dollar  amount  of  the  suspected  error.  (3)  Describe  the  error  and  explain,  if  you  can,  why 
you believe there is an error. If you need more information, describe the item you are not sure 
about. 

If  you  have  authorized  us  to  pay  your  credit  card  bill  automatically  from  your  GECU  checking 
account,  you  can  stop  the  payment  on  any  amount  you  think  is  wrong.  To  stop  the  payment, 
your letter must reach us three (3) business days before the automatic payment is scheduled to 
occur. 

Your Rights and Our Responsibilities After We Receive Your Written Notice.  
We must acknowledge your letter within 30 days, unless we have corrected the error by then. 
Within 90 days, we must either correct the error or explain why we believe the statement was 
correct. After we receive your letter, we cannot try to collect any amount you question or report 
you as delinquent. We can continue to bill you for the amount you question, including FINANCE 
CHARGES and we can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. You do not have to 
pay  any  questioned  amount  while  we  are  investigating,  but  you  are  still  obligated  to  pay  the 
parts  of  your  statement  that  are  not  in  question.  If  we  find  that  we  made  a  mistake  on  your 
statement,  you  will  not  have  to  pay  any  FINANCE  CHARGES  related  to  any  questioned 
amount. If we didn’t make a mistake, you may have to pay FINANCE CHARGES and you will 
have to make up any missed payments on the questioned amount. In either case, we will send 
you a statement of the amount you owe and the date that it is due. If you fail to pay the amount 
that we think you owe, we may report you as delinquent. However, if our explanation does not 
satisfy you and you write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay, we must tell 
anyone we report you to that you have a question about your statement. And, we must tell you 
the name of anyone we reported you to. We must tell anyone we report you to that the matter 
has been settled between us when it finally is. 

If we don’t follow these rules, we can’t collect the first $50.00 of the questioned amount, even if 
your statement was correct. 

Special Rule for Credit Card Purchases.  
If you have a problem with the quality of property or services that you purchased with a 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  property  or  services.  There  are  two 
limitations  on  this  right:  (a)  You  must  have  made  the  purchase  in  your  home  state,  or  if  not 
within your home state, within 100 miles of your current mailing address; and (b) The purchase 
price must have been more than $50.00. These limitations do not apply if we own or operate the 
merchant or mailed you the advertisement for the property or services.
