CALCULATION OF BALANCES SUBACT TO FNANCE CHARM
Average Balance Method (including new Balance Transfers and new Cash Advances):
We calculate separate Balances Suh)'ect to Finance Charge for Balance Transfers, Cash Adva
and for each Promotional Offer balance consisting of Balance Transfers or Cash Advances. Wncese
do this by: (1) calculating a daily balance for each day in this statement's billing cycle (2)
calculating a daily balance for each day prior to this statements billing cycle that had a "Pre-
Cycle balance" - a Pre-Cycle balance is a Balance Transfer or Cash Advance with a transaction
date prior to this statement's billing cycle but with a cisting date within this statement's billing
trle; (3) addi all the daily balances together, and 4) dividing the sum of the daily balances by
the number ofys is this statements billing cycle.
To calculate the daily balance fair each day in this statemnt's billt'ng cycle, we take the
beginning balance, add an amount equal to the applicable Daily Perirxiic Ram multiplied by the
previous day's daily balance, add new Balance Transfers new Cash Advances and and
Transaction Fees, and subtract applicable payments and credits. If any daily balance is less than
zero we treat it as zero.
To calculate a daily balance for each day prior to this statement's billing cycle that had a Pre-
Cycle balance, we take the beginning balance attributable solely to Pre-Cycle balances (which
will be zero on the transaaion dare of the fast Pre-Cycle balance), add an amount equal to the
applicable Daily Periodic Rate multiplied by the previous day's daily balance, and add only the
apphc able Pre-Cycle balances and their related Transaction Fees. We exclude from this
calculation all transactions ppxf?dd m previous billing cycles.
Avera e Daily Balance Method (including new Purchases): We calculate separate Balances
Subject to Finance Charge for Purchases and for each Promotional Offer balance consisting of
Purchases. We do this by: (1) wiculating a daily balance for each day in the billing cycle, (2)
adding all the daily balances together, and (3) dividing the sum of the daily balances by the
number of days in the billing cycle.
