Information For You
While we are permitted under the Cardmember Agreement to increase the APRs on your Account because your payment
was late, we have chosen not to do so at this time. We have terminated, however, any introductory or promotional rate on
purchases and any special balance transfer rate, and applied the standard APR for purchases to your outstanding balance of
purchases and balance transfers. However, we reserve the right to increase the APRs on your Account if you fail to pay the
minimum payment due by the payment due date. See the Default Rate Plan section of the Cardmember Agreement for
details.
