To ensure unirrtem rpted balling, we recomrnend that you verify the merchant has your newAccount information. You must oontact the merchand di if you do not wish to continue the automatic billing arrangement How a Apply Payments. We will apply payments and credits to the New Balance shown on your current billing statement in order of the Annual Percentage Rate appi-cable to the balance of each tra ' n category (as referenced in the Finance Charges section), generally from lowest to highest begin-ning with the balance subject to the lowest Annual Percentage Rate. We then apply Is and credits to any new transactions using the same method. However, we have the right to apply payments and credits to balances with higher Annual Percentage Rates prior to balances with r Annual Percentage Rates, such as when there are two initial special rates applicable to your Account and the lower Annual Percentage Rate will expire before the higher Annual Percentage Rate.

The Minim m Payment Due will never exceed the New Balance. Paying the Minimum Payment Due may be insufficient to bring your Account balance below your Account credit line and, consequently, may not a id the imposition of an additional Over imit Fee described in the Overimit Fee section.

Credit Balances. We WO refund any credit balance within seven business days from receipt of your written request If you do not request a refund, we will auto-maticaty refund credit balances greater than $ that remain in your Account after 6 months. FINAN E CHARGES How a Calculate Periodic Finance Charges. We begin to impose Periodic Finance Charges on all transacions from the Transaction Data for the transaction as shown on your billing statement unless transaction is posted to your Account after the dose of the billing period in which it occurs, in which case we begin to impose Periodic Finance Charges on that transaction from the first day of the biili g period in which it is posted to your Account We continue to impose Periodic Finance Charges until the date you pay your entire New Balance, by making payments or receiving credits. Howe r, if you paid the New Balance on your previous billing statement by the Payment Due Date shown on that billing statement and you pay the New Balance by the Payment Due Date on your current billing statement, we will not impose Periodic Finance Charges on new purchases, that is, purchases first appearing on the current billing statement We call this the "grace period." There is no grace period on balance transfers or cash advances. We sort your transactions into groups of purchases, cash advances, and balance transfers and then further soft the transactions within each group by theirAnnual Percentage Rate. For example, purchases subject to a promotional rate and purchases subject to a; standard rate would be separate groups. We refer to these groups as transaction categories. At the end of each billing period, we comp a balances and Periodic Finance Charges for each day of the billing period for each transaction category. We use the following equation to compute Periodic Finance Charges for each transaction category: (Averse Daily Balance) times (days in billing period) times (Daily ehodic Rate). (You ay refer to the finance charge summary on your billing statement for these amounts.) Then we add up the Periodic Finance Charges for each transaction category to get the total Periodic Finance Charges for your Account The Average Daly Balance is shown as zero 'rf, because of the grace period, no Periodic Finance Charges apply to the balance in a trans-action category. How a Calculate Your Balances. We use the Average Daily Balance (including new transactions) method of calculating the balance upon which we tinpose Periodic Finance Charges. We compute the Average Daly Balance for each transaction category by adding up all the daily balances in a billing period for a transaction category and dividing the total by the number of days in the billing period. We compute the daily balance for each transaction category on each day by first adding the following to the previous days daily balance: transactions with a Transaction Date of that day as shown on your bi ling statement, unless the transaction is posted to your Account after the close of the balling period in which it occurs, in which case the transaction will be added to the daily balance as of the first day of he billing period in which it is posted to your Account, fees charged that day and Periodic Finance Charges accrued on the previous days daily balance; and by then subtracting any credits and paym is that are applied against the balance of the transaction category on that day. In calculating the daily balance for the first day of the billing period, we consider the "previous days daily balance" to ha been your balance for each transaction category on the last day of your previous billing period. All fee charged to your Account are added to the standard purchase trans-a 'on category with the exception of Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Charges which are added to the applicable cash advance trans-a 'on category and Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges which are added to the applicable balance transfer transaction category. When the special rate expires, we move the unpaid balance of the balance transfer and the Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges to the standard purchase transaction category. However, if the special rale has been terminated under tie Default Rate sedan, we leave the unpaid balance of the balance transfer and the Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges in the applicable balance transfer transaction category until special rate would have expired. Variab a or fixed Interest Rates. The Daly Periodic Rate and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate that apply to each transadion category are either fixed rates or variable rates as set forth in your Pricing Schedule or in any special offers you receive from us. The Daily Periodic Rate is 1 /365th of the corresponding Annual Percentage Rate. Variable Annual Percentage Rates are defer-mined by adding a specified number of percentage points to the Prime Rate. This is shown on the Pricing Schedule as "Prime + (per-centage points)." For purposes of this Agreement, the Prime Rate is the highs rate of interest listed as the "prime rate" in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the month. The Prime Rate is merely a pricing index and does not repre nt the lowest or best interest rate available to a borrower at any bank at any given time. If you have a variable rate, your Annual Percentage Rate will increase or decrease when the Prime Rate cha s. This change coil be effective beginning with the first day of the billing period that begins during the same month as the charge in the Prime Rate. An increase in the Annual Percentage Rate may increase your Minimum Payment Due. Defaul Rate. Each time you do not make a required payment on time or each time you exceed your Account credit line twice in a twelve month period (each, a'Default Rate Event ), we may increase the sta and Annual Percentage Rates for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances to a variable rate equal to the Prim Rate'+ up to 27.99%, but such rate will never exceed 29.991. (the "Defau Rate!). At the same time, any special rates on purchases, balance transfers or cash advances will end and the Default Rate may apply. The maximum Default Rate which would currently apply is set fi: rth in your Pricing Schedule. We will base your Default Rate on factors such as. •VO rcurrent APRs r payment history with us • yoL r general credit history Any i sed rate will apply beginning with the first day of the billing period in which (i) we did not receive atieast the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date or O you exceeded your credit line for the second time in a twelve month period. If yowrstandard Annual Percentage Rate for purchases was increased under this or arty previous version of the Default Rate sedan and, fo any nine consecutive billing periods thereafter another Default Rate Event does rat occur, then your Annual Percentage Rate for your now purchases will be reduced to a lesser variable rate which y be higher than your previous standard Annual Percentage Rate for purchases and your Annual Percentage Rate for your existing purchase balance may be reduced to a lesser variable rate which y be higher than your previous standard Annual Percentage Rate for purchases. Any reduced Annual Percentage Rates on new and existing purchases may be different and will apply beginni with the first day of your tenth billing period. However, 'nf a Default Rate Event occurs in the tenth billing period, a Default Rate will apply. Cash dvance Transaction Fee Finance Charges. Unless otherwise specified in a cash advance offer, we will charge you a Cash Advance Transaction Fee FINANCE CHARGE of 31/6 ofthe amou of each new cash advance with a minimum Cash Advance Transaction Fee FINANCE CHARGE of $5 and no maxi-mum. The imposition of Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Charges may result in an Annual Percentage Rate for cash advances that is higher than the nominal Annual Percentage Rate. Al force of cash advances, including the use of Discover Card ch aft, regardless of the npose for which used, are subject to Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Charges. To obtain the total Finance Charge on cash advances for each tailing period, we add any Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Changes for the billing period charged under this section to any Periodic Finance Charges calculated under the Periodic Finance Charges sedan for each ash advance transac 'on category and add up these amounts. Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges. If the balance transfer offer you receive contains a Balance Transfer Trans-action Fee Finance Charge, we will charge you a Balance Transfer Trans-e n Fee Finance Charge for the amount of each balance transfer made under that offer. If there is a Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charge in conjunction with the offer you receive I when you applied for an Account, it will be in the amount set forth in the Pricing Schedule. The imposition of Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges may result in an Annual Percen age Rate for balance transfers that is higher than the ranninal Annual Percentage Rate.
