Transaction Categories include standard Purchases, itandord Cash Advances and different promotional balances, such as Balance Transfers. How We Figure the Daily Balance for Each Transaction Category We start with the beginning balance for each day The beginning balance for the first day of the billing period is your balance on the Last day of your previous billing period We add any interest charges accrued on the previous day's daily balance and any new transactions and fees. We add any new transactions or fees as of the later of the Transaction Date or the first day of the billing period in which the transaction or fee posted to your Account. We subtract any new credits and payments. We make other adjustments (including those adjustments required in the "Paying Interest" section). How We Figure Your Total Interest Charges We multiply the Baily balance for each Transaction Category by its daily periodic rate. We do this for each day in the billing period. This gives us the interest charges for each Transaction Category. To get a daily periodic rate, we divide the APR that applies to the Transaction Category by 365. We add up all the daily interest charges. The sum is the total interest charge for the billing period. How We Include Fees We add Balance Transfer Fees to the applicable Balance Transfer Transaction Category. We add Cash Advance Fees to the applicable Cash Advance Transaction Category - We add all other fees to the standard Purchase Transaction Category. Balance Subject to Interest Rate.
