1 Each time your minimum payment is late (i.e., not received by 5 p.m., ET, on its Payment Due Date), or the account balance is over the credit limit, we may increase each of your account's Standard APRs up to the Default APR. The Default APR will be applied to all new and outstanding balances.

If your account has balances with different APRs, payments are applied to the balance with the lowest APR before any payments are applied to balances with higher APRs. This means that balances with higher APRs are not reduced until balances with lower APRs have been paid off.

2 The Introductory APR does not apply to Purchases, Bank and ATM Cash Advances, or online Direct Deposits. When a Promotional Period ends, the Standard (non-introductory) APR for your account is applied to new and outstanding balances (consisting of Balance Transfers, non-online Direct Deposits, and Check Cash Advances). If your payment is late or the account balance is over the credit limit, either the Standard APR or the Default APR will be applied to those balances as of the first day of the billing cycle in which the payment was late or the balance exceeded the credit limit. We reserve the right to change the Standard APRs and the Default APR on your account. REMINDER: To preserve the grace period for new purchases, pay your New Balance Total in full and on time. The 0% APR does not apply to Purchases.

The number of days between your statement Closing Date and your Payment Due Date (the grace period) may vary from one Billing Cycle to another.

3 We include Transaction Fees when computing finance charges. Incurring Fees results in an APR exceeding 0% for the billing statement on which Fees appear. The Daily Periodic Rate (DPR) will remain 0% as disclosed.
