Billing Statement - Minimum Payruent
You will receive billing statements on your Account when you receive
your billing statements for the Card Account.
American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. ("'I'RSor
its affiliates or agents will act as the Bank's agent for purposes of billing,
servicing and collecting your Account, and your statement for the
Account will accompany your Card.Accounl statement from TRS.
Each Account statement will reflect a Minimum Payment due upon
your rec ipt of the Account statement.'I'le Minimum Pamamt depends
on the New Balance shown on your Account statement. Your NIMMIum
Payment on any Account statement will be rounded up to the nearest
whole dollar if greater than $20 and is the total of (i) any prviously
billed Minimum Payments that remain unpaid on the Closing Date of
the statement, and (ii) the greater of.
• 1POth of the New Balance shown on your Account statement;
• the current month's billed Finance Charges; or,
• $20 (or the New Balance if it is less than $20).
You may pay mom than the Minimum payment, up to die entire New
Balance, at any time.
Finance Charges
A. Finance Charges begin to accrue for each Charge as of the date it is
added to the daily balance, as described below However, for Chawl%
(other than FinanceCharges) that are added to a balance automati-
cally, no Finance Charges will accrue in any billing period in which
the total Account balance on the Closing Daw for the previous billing
period is zem or a credit balance.
R. The Daily Periodic Rate ("DPR") for Aaxont Charges is based on an
APR, which maybe fixed err may vary. If the APR is variable, the
APR is based on the Prime Rate described below. A DPR is i/365th of
the APR. Your DPRs and APRs, variable or fixed, appear on the
Extended Payment Option supplement(s) and/or enrollment form.
When an APR changes, we apply it to any existing balance subject to
that rate.
C. The "Prime Rate" is determined once with respect to each billing
period. The Prime Rate foreach billing period is the Prime Rate
published in the Money Rates se tion (orsucassor section) of7be Ridl
VrexYjournal on (a) the first dayof that billing period or (b) the day
that is two days prior to the Closing Date of that billing period,
whichever is higher. In each case, if such a day is not a customary
publication day for The Wid1,VhvV, Jourmd, we will substitute the closest
preceding day that is a customary publication day. If The Wid1.V1r&/
Jour,w1 ceases orsuspeols publication, we may refer to the Prime Rate
published in any other newspaper of general circulation in New York,
New York, orwe maysubstitute a similar reference rate at oursole
discretion. Any increase ordwrease to an APR usulting from a change
in die Prime Rate takes effect as of the first day of the billing period. An
increase in the Prime Rate means that the variable AP111.4 (and
corresponding DPRs) applicable to yourAccountw•ill increase and you
may incur higher Finance Charges and may have a higher Minimum
AmountDtw.
D. The DPR (and corresponding APR) for balances on your Account
may increase to the Default Irate if during the Review Period (i) your
Acexrunt and/or Cared Account is delinquent on the Closing Date of
any three bi Iling periods, (ii) your Account and/or Carl Aca)unt is
delinquent on the Closing Date of two consecutive billing pencils. or
(iii) on two or more occasions a payment submitted on this Account
and/or your Card Account is not honored on first presentment. Your
Account wi 11 be considered delinquent if payment of at least the.
Minimum Pavment on a billing statement is not credited to your
Account by the Closing Date of the next billing period Ynur Card
Account will be considered delinquent if payment for all Charges
shown on a billing statement is not credited to your Card Account by
die Closing Date of the next billing period. The "Review Period" is the
period, constituting approximately one year, of twelve consecutive
billing periods ending with the Closing Date of the current billing
period, wliether or not you received a statement for each such billing
period. If the Default Rate is applied, it will apply to your Account for
twelve consecutive billing periods, beginning with the current billing
period. The Default Rate will not apply to any balance unless it is
higher than the rate that would otherwise apply to that balance. The
Default Rate is a DPR which corresponds to an APR equal to the
Prime Rate plus 21.99%.
I
Finance Ch.irge?
We use the Average Daily Balance method to calculate Finance Charges
on your Account. Under this method, we calculate the Finance Charges
on your Account by applying the DPR to the Average Daily Balance (as
described below) (including current transactions). •1'o get the Average
Daily Balance, we (1) take the beginning balance for each day
(including unpaid Finance Charges from previous billing periods), (2)
add ally new transactions, debits, or fees, (3) subtract any payments or
credits credited as of that day, and (4) make any appropriate adjust-
ments. Por each (key rifler thefirst dqv of the billing per bd m, (gy,
add an amount of inkrrat crlual to fbe precious day's• daily balance
multgVied by the DPI?. This gives us the daily balance for that day and
the beginning balancefor the next day. If this balance is negative, it is
considered to be zem.'Ihen, we add up all the daily balances for the
billing period and divide the total by the number of days in the billing
period. This giros its the Average Daily Balance.
Except for specific Charges or amounts added to the Account during a
billing period in response to a request, the Average Dally Balance for the
billing period will be considered Jobe zero if you paid, by the Closing
Date of the billingperiod, the total Account balance, if any, shown on
your previous billing statement. If you multiply the Average Dally
Balance by the number of days in the billing period and the DPR, the
result will be the Finance Charge assessed, except for variations caused
by rounding. This metbod of cakukifing tbeAavrrage Daily Balance
and Finance Charge mulls in daily con*wrnek'ng of Finance
Charges. We may ttse mathematical formulas which produce equivalent
results to calculate the Average Daily Balance, Finance Charge, and
related amounts. For example, we may utilize computer programs or
other computational methods that are designed to produce mathemati-
cally equivalent results while using fewer and/or simpler computational
steps than are described in this Agreement.
At our discretion, we may exclude certain categories of debit transa -
ioiis or fees from the calculation of the daily balances. Unless we elect to
use a later date, we add a Charge to the daily balance as follows: For
Charges (other than Finance Charges) that are added to a balance auto-
matically, we add the Charge to the appropriate daily balance as of the
(late the Charge is Posted to the Account For Charges that are not added
to a balance automatically (e.g., in response to a specific transfer
request), we add the Charge to the appropriate daily balance as of the
date we process the request.
Periodic Finance Charges are added to the outstanding balance at
the end of the billing period for which Finance Charges are calculated.
In our sole discretion, we also may round any calculadous made in
determining the Finance Charges on yourAcc cunt in any way that is
convenient to us..Any such rounding may apply to or cause variations
in your DPRs.
In addition in the provisions of the Card Account Agreement entitled
"Default" which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement, we
may, in the event of your default and subject to applicable law, increase
your APR or require payment of the total outstanding balance on your
Account and/or any portion of your outstanding balance greater than the
Minimum Payment
We may also, in the event of your default and subject to applicable law,
declare the entire amount of your obligations to its on your Card Account
and this Account immediately due and payable and suspend or cancel
your Account and/or any feature that may be offered in connection with
the Account
Any notice given by the Bank shall be deemed to be given when deposited
in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressers to you at the latest

An Important Notice Concerning Cardmember Privacy
Page 5 of 6
This Privacy Notice is addressed to United States holders of personal American Express' Charge Cards or accounts, Optimao
Cards or accounts, other personal credit card accounts that we issue, and to United States holders of business charge and
credit cards from OPEN from American Express. This Notice explains how we collect, use and safeguard information about
you and how to limit the use and disclosure of your information.
In this Notice, "American Express," "we," "bur," and "us" refer to American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.,
American Express Centurion Bank and American Express Bank, FSB. These entities are "Affiliates" of each other, which are
companies in the American Express family that are related to each other by common ownership or control. Our Affiliates also
include publishers, travelers cheques issuers, travel agents and providers of Card-related insurance services. The cants and
accounts that we issue are called "Cards" or "Card accounts." Holders of those Card accounts are called "Cardmembers" or
"you(r)."
What Information Do We Collect?
We obtain information about you from a variety of sources.
You provide us with information about yourself, for
example, by completing Card applications. This includes
your name, address, social security number, and income
and asset information. Your use of the Card and your
other transactions with us and our Affiliates provide us with
additional information, such as your spending and payment
history. Other sources, such as credit reporting agencies
and providers of marketing information, furnish us with
additional information about your credit history, purchasing
preferences, and other matters. We also obtain
information about you in connection with our efforts to
protect against fraud. We call all of this information
"Cardmember Information."
What Do We Do with Cardmember Information?
We use Cardmember Information in connection with
delivering products and services to you. To do this it is
often necessary to share it with our Affiliates and other
companies we work with. These include companies that
manage Card accounts, offer affinity, frequent-user, and
reward programs, companies that perform marketing
services and other business operations for us, and
companies whose products or services are provided as a
benefit of your Card account. We may also share
Cardmember Information with other financial institutions
with whom we jointly offer products and services. And we
may disclose it to other third parties as permitted by law.
For example, we disclose Cardmember Information in
response to subpoenas, to credit reporting agencies, and to
help prevent fraud.
Information We Share with Our Affiliates
You can inform us not to share with our Affiliates
credit-related information (except as permitted by law),
such as your credit history as shown on a consumer report.
If you make this choice, we are permitted by law to share
with our Affiliates information about our transactions and
experiences with you, such as your payment history.
Valuable Partner Offers
We work with carefully selected business partners, such as
merchants that accept the Card, so that you may receive
offers for their products and services. We use
Cardmember Information to help make these offers more
relevant and valuable to you. If you respond to one of
these offers, the business partner will know certain
information about you, such as your name, that you are a
Cardmember, and that you met the qualifications
established for the offer. You can inform us not to send
you these offers.
Your Choices
Please let us know if you do not want us to use your
Cardmember Information to communicate with you about
offers, including exclusive partner offers and offers from our
Affiliates, by mail, telephone and/or e-mail, or share your
credit-related information with our Affiliates, by visiting us
at: www.americanexpmss.com/communications. You
can also inform us of your choices (except for e-mail
communications) by calling us at 1-800-297-8378. If you
make these choices, you may not learn about products,
services and features, including discounts and other
special offers, we believe may be of interest to you and add
value to your Card membership.
If you have other Cana accounts with us, you will receive
additional privacy notices that apply to those accounts.
Please note that any choices you make will only apply
to this account.
If you are the primary Cardmember on your Card account,
any choices you make in accordance with this Notice will
also apply to any other Cardmember on this account
(except for e-mail communications). If you make choices
not to receive offers as indicated above, we may still
include notices and information about the Card and other
products and services when communicating with you about
your Card account and related products and services.
Information Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical
security measures to protect your Cardmember Information.
Former Customers
If you cancel your Card, or your Card account(s) are
closed, we will continue to treat and safeguard
Cardmember Information about you as described in this
Notice.
For Vermont Cardmembers Only
If your Card account has a Vermont billing address, we will
automatically treat your account as if you had informed us
not to share your credit-related information with our
Affiliates.
