SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION 
ONETRAVEL OR CHEAPOAIR CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

How Interest is Calculated

Your Interest Rate

The  APR  for  purchases  is  the  prime  rate  plus  23.74%.  We  use  a  daily  rate  to  calculate  the  interest  on  the 
balance on your account each day. The daily rate for purchases is the APR times 1/365. As of January 1, 2019, 
the daily rate for purchases was .08011% (APR 29.24%). Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in 
excess of those permitted by applicable law. 

Daily Rates May Vary. The APR and the daily rate on your account vary with the market based on the prime 
rate. The prime rate for a billing cycle is the highest bank prime loan rate published in The Wall Street Journal in 
its Money Rates section on the last business day of the calendar month preceding the first day of the billing cycle.

If  the  prime  rate  increases,  the  daily  rate  and  APR  will  increase.  As  a  result,  interest,  your  total  minimum 
payment and the number of payments it would take you to pay off your account balance may increase. We 
apply any change in rates because of a prime rate change to your entire account balance. A change in the 
prime rate will take effect on the first day of the first billing cycle after the change. We may select a new interest 
rate index if the prime rate is not available.

When We Charge Interest 

We charge interest on your purchases from the date you make the purchase until you pay the purchase in full. See  
exceptions below.

How We Calculate Interest

How Fees Work

Late Payment Fee

•  We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any purchases if:

1. You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR

2.  You had a balance at the start of the billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in that 

billing cycle.

•   We will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate to 

purchases if:

1. You had no balance at the start of the previous billing cycle; OR

2.  You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due 

date in the previous billing cycle.

We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the 
daily rate to the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the 
following balance types, as applicable: purchases and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or 
special promotions. See below for how this works.

1.  How to get the daily balance: We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, 
and subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance. Credit insurance premiums and 
debt cancellation fees, if any, are not included in the daily balance. Late payment fees are treated as 
new purchases.

2. How to get the daily interest amount: We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.

3.  How to get the starting balance for the next day: We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the daily 

balance from step 1.

4.  How  to  get  the  interest  charge  for  the  billing  cycle:  We  add  all  the  daily  interest  amounts  that  were 

charged during the billing cycle.

We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. This charge is added 
proportionately to each balance type. 

We will charge this fee if we do not receive the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on 
the due date. This fee is equal to:

1.  $27, if you have paid your total minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles.

OR

2.  $38, if you have failed to pay your total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the 

prior six billing cycles.

The late payment fee will not be more than the total minimum payment that was due.

2

Minimum Payment Calculation

Your total minimum payment is calculated as follows. 

The greater of:

1. $25, or $35 (which includes any past due amounts) if you have failed to pay the total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of 

the prior six billing cycles. 

OR

2. The sum of:

a. Any past due amounts; PLUS
b. 1% of your new balance shown on your billing statement (excluding any balance in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique 

payment calculation); PLUS

c. Any late payment fees charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS
d. All interest charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS
e. Any payment due in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation.

We round up to the next highest whole dollar in figuring your total minimum payment. Your total minimum payment will never be more than your new balance. 
Payments required in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation will not be increased to, but may be included in, the 
$25 or $35 minimum amount otherwise due on your account. 

Special Promotional Financing Offer Information

At  times,  we  may  offer  you  special  financing  promotions  for  certain  transactions  (“special  promotions”).  The  terms  of  this  Agreement  apply  to  any  special 
promotion. However, any special promotional terms that are different than the terms in this Agreement will be explained on promotional advertising or other 
disclosures provided to you. Below is a description of certain special promotions that may be offered:

•  No Interest if Paid in Full Within 6 Months

For each promotion, if the promotional balance is not paid in full within the promotional period, interest will 
be imposed from the date of purchase at the variable Purchase APR that applies to your account when 
the promotional purchase is made. 

At the time your account is opened, the variable Purchase APR is 29.24%.

Your Purchase APR will vary with the market based on the prime rate.

When you make a qualifying purchase under one of these promotions, no interest will be assessed on the purchase if you pay the following (the “promotional 
balance”) in full within the applicable promotional period: (1) the promotional purchase amount, and (2) any related optional credit insurance/debt cancellation 
charges. If you do not, interest will be assessed on the promotional balance from the date of the purchase. Minimum monthly payments are required. Regular 
account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after promotion ends, to promotional purchases. Offers are subject to credit approval. These 
promotional offers may not be available at all times for all purchases. Please see any special promotion advertising or other disclosures provided to you for 
the full terms of any special promotion offered.

RESOLVING A DISPUTE WITH ARBITRATION 
PLEASE  READ  THIS  SECTION  CAREFULLY.  IF  YOU  DO  NOT  REJECT  IT,  THIS  SECTION  WILL  APPLY  TO  YOUR  ACCOUNT,  AND  MOST 
DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A 
JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING; 
(3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE LIMITED.

• What claims are subject to arbitration

1.  If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you or any other user of your account, 

and us, our affiliates, agents and/or Fareportal, Inc., if it relates to your account, except as noted below. 

2.  We will not require you to arbitrate: (1) any individual case in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so long as it remains an individual 
case in that court; or (2) a case we file to collect money you owe us. However, if you respond to the collection lawsuit by claiming any wrongdoing, 
we may require you to arbitrate.

3.  Notwithstanding any other language in this section, only a court, not an arbitrator, will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage 
or scope of this section or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the next paragraph of this section and/or this sentence). However, any 
dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.

• No Class Actions

YOU  AGREE  NOT  TO  PARTICIPATE  IN  A  CLASS,  REPRESENTATIVE  OR  PRIVATE  ATTORNEY  GENERAL  ACTION  AGAINST  US  IN 
COURT OR ARBITRATION. ALSO, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS 
NOT AN ACCOUNTHOLDER ON YOUR ACCOUNT, AND YOU AGREE THAT ONLY ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE 
JOINED IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE. 

If a court determines that this paragraph is not fully enforceable, only this sentence will remain in force and the remainder will be null and void, and 
the court’s determination shall be subject to appeal. This paragraph does not apply to any lawsuit or administrative proceeding filed against us by 
a state or federal government agency even when such agency is seeking relief on behalf of a class of borrowers, including you. This means that we 
will not have the right to compel arbitration of any claim brought by such an agency.

• How to start an arbitration, and the arbitration process

1.  The party who wants to arbitrate must notify the other party in writing. This notice can be given after the beginning of a lawsuit or in papers  
filed  in  the  lawsuit.  Otherwise,  your  notice  must  be  sent  to  Synchrony  Bank,  Legal  Operation,  P.O.  Box  29110,  Shawnee  Mission,   
KS 66201-5320, ATTN: ARBITRATION DEMAND. The party seeking arbitration must select an arbitration administrator, which can be either the 
American Arbitration Association (AAA),120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271, www.adr.org, 1-800-778-7879, or JAMS, 620 Eighth 
Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com, 1-800-352-5267. If neither administrator is able or willing to handle the dispute, 
then the court will appoint an arbitrator. 

2.  If  a  party  files  a  lawsuit  in  court  asserting  claim(s)  that  are  subject  to  arbitration  and  the  other  party  files  a  motion  with  the  court  to  compel 

arbitration, which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party asserting the claim(s) to commence the arbitration proceeding. 

3.  The arbitration administrator will appoint the arbitrator and will tell the parties what to do next. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten 
years of legal experience. Once appointed, the arbitrator must apply the same law and legal principles, consistent with the FAA, that would apply 
in court, but may use different procedural rules. If the administrator’s rules conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement will control. 

4.  The arbitration will take place by phone or at a reasonably convenient location. If you ask us to, we will pay all the fees the administrator or 
arbitrator charges, as long as we believe you are acting in good faith. We will always pay arbitration costs, as well as your legal fees and costs, 
to the extent you prevail on claims you assert against us in an arbitration proceeding which you have commenced.

• Governing Law for Arbitration

 This Arbitration section of your Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant 
under the FAA. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter 
judgment upon the arbitrator’s award.

• How to reject this section

 You may reject this Arbitration section of your Agreement. If you do that, only a court may be used to resolve any dispute or claim.  
To reject this section, you must send us a notice within 60 days after you open your account or we first provided you with your right to  
reject  this  section.  The  notice  must  include  your  name,  address  and  account  number,  and  must  be  mailed  to  Synchrony  Bank, 
P.O. Box 965012, Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only way you can reject this section.
