*Introductory Rate: The introductory APR for Purchases and Balance
Transfers will remain in effect through the closing date of the sixth billing
cycle after your Account is opened, so long as the Minimum Amount Due on
Account Statements is paid by each Payment Due Date during the promotional
period. If not, the introductory APR will adjust in the billing cycle following
any late payment to the variable APR for Purchases and Balance Transfers then
in effect or the delinquency APR as applicable.
**The WSJ Prime Rate means the highest prime rate published in The Wall Street
Journal on the day the rate is determined (or the previous day on which The
Wall Street Journal was published if the paper is not published on that day).
The date the rate is determined is the third Friday of each month. Any increase
or decrease in the WSJ Prime Rate will result in an increase or decrease in
your daily periodic rate and corresponding APR. These changes will be applied,
as applicable, to your existing account balance and to subsequent transactions
effective as of the first day of the billing cycle immediately following the
month in which we calculate the rate.
***APR for Delinquency: We reserve the right to increase the Annual
Percentage Rate to 23.99% (corresponding Daily Periodic Rate of .06573%) on all
new and outstanding Account balances without giving you additional notice, each
time (i) we do not receive at least the Minimum Amount Due by its Payment Due
Date; or (ii) your total outstanding balance exceeds your
Account Credit Limit on
the closing date of a Billing Cycle. Once you become
subject to this APR for delinquency, we may change your APR back to the
respective APRs for your Account but only if you bring your Account current and
then pay at least the Minimum Amount Due by the Payment Due Date or the payment
due date, as applicable, for six (6) consecutive Billing Cycles. Any other
variable or fixed APR that would otherwise apply to new and outstanding Account
balances will change to this fixed APR for Delinquency.
