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

reimburse us for all amounts or expenses we pay as a result of such use.

calls  for  quality  and  training  purposes.  This  includes  both  calls  to  and

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.

or court 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 the 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: TThe 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.

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. 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.

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.

days from the initial Statement Closing Date if you are a resident of the 
State of New York).
Refund Disclosure: You may reject this Credit Account if you have not 
paid any fee after receiving a billing Statement.  If you reject the Credit 
Account, you will not be responsible for any fees or interest charges, but 
you  must  immediately  satisfy  any  Purchases  or  Cash  Advances  made 
using  this  Credit  Account.    To  satisfy  any  Purchases,  you  must  either 
return the purchased merchandise to the retailer or pay the retailer using 
another form of payment.

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. 
Changing This Contract: We may change this Contract from time to time. 
For example, we may change your Credit Account number or the Minimum 
Payment, add new INTEREST CHARGES or fees, change the ANNUAL 
PERCENTAGE  RATE  or  change  the  method  of  computing  the  balance 
upon which we impose INTEREST CHARGES. We may also make other 
changes. We will notify you in writing of any change if required by law. 
Contract changes will apply to amounts you owe at the time the change is 
effective and to new transactions on your Credit Account, unless otherwise 
required by law.
Information  Sharing:  The  following  describes  your  agreement  with  us 
with  respect  to  information  sharing.  By  requesting,  obtaining  or  using  a

•  To  comply  with  any  properly  served  subpoena  or  similar  request 

issued by a state or federal agency or court.

•  To share your credit performance with Consumer Reporting Agencies 
and other creditors who we reasonably believe are or may be doing 
business with you on your Credit Account. 

•  To provide information on your Credit Account to any third party who 
we believe is conducting an inquiry in accordance with the Federal 
Fair Credit Reporting Act.

•  To share information with our employees, agents or representatives 

performing work for us in connection with your Credit Account.

•  To communicate information as to our transactions or experiences 
with  you  to  persons  or  entities  related  by  common  ownership  or 
affiliated by corporate control or with any third party (including non-
affiliates).

We may also share information such as: (1) information other than 
our own transactions with you with persons or entities related to the 
Bank 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 one or both of these. If this is your request call 1-800-
987-5521 or notify us in writing at First PREMIER Bank, P.O. Box 5528, 
Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5528. Be sure to include your name, address and 
Credit Account number. You may receive a copy of our information on your 
Credit Account by writing or calling us at the address or telephone number 
listed above. By requesting or obtaining a Credit Account, you authorize 
us  to  check  your  credit  history. You  authorize  your  employer,  bank  and 
any other references listed to release and/or verify information to us and 
our  affiliates  in  order  to  determine  your  eligibility  for  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 the names 
of the Consumer Reporting Agencies, with their addresses, that provided 
the reports. If you designate an Authorized User to use your Card, you 
understand that account information may also be reported to Consumer 
Reporting Agencies in the Authorized User’s name.
No Waiver: Even if we do not exercise any right we may have against 
you, we do not intend to waive that right. We can exercise it against you 
in the future.
Binding  Effect  Upon  Death  or  Incompetency:  If  we  pay  a  merchant 
for  a  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 banking procedures. Our mere clerical error or honest mistake 
will not be considered a failure to perform any of our obligations.
Transactions  in  Foreign  Currencies:  If  you  make  a  transaction  in  a 
foreign 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 its currency conversion procedures in effect when processing 
the transaction. The currency conversion rate will be a rate selected by 
Visa  or  MasterCard,  as  applicable,  from  the  range  of  rates  available  in 
wholesale  currency  markets  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.
