Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card,and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant,you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase. To use this right,all of the following must be true: 1.The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address,and the purchase price must have been more than$50.(Note:Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you,or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.) 2.You must have used your credit card for the purchase.Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify. 3.You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase. If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase,contact usin writing at:Cardmember Service,P.O.Box 6335, Fargo,ND 58125-6335.While we investigate,the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above.After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision.At that point,if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay we may report you as delinquent. Important Information Regarding Your Account 1.INTEREST CHARGE:Method of Computing Amount Subject to Interest:We calculate the periodic rate or interest portion of the INTEREST CHARGE by multiplying the applicable Daily Periodic Rate("131311")by the Average Daily Balance("ADB")(including new transactions)of the Purchase,Advance and Balance Transfer categories subject to interest,and then adding together the resulting interest from each category.We determine the ADB separately for the Purchases,Advances and Balance Transfer categories.To get the ADB in each category,we add together the daily balances in those categories for the billing cycle and divide the result by the number of days in the billing cycle.We determine the daily balances each day by taking the beginning balance of those Account categories(including any billed but unpaid interest,fees,credit insurance and other charges),adding any new interest,fees,and charges,and subtracting any payments or credits applied against your Account balances that day.We add a Purchase,Advance or Balance Transfer to the appropriate balances for those categories on the later of the transaction date or the first day of the statement period.Billed but unpaid interest on Purchases,Advances and Balance Transfers is added to the appropriate balances for those categories each month on the statement date.Billed but unpaid Advance Transaction Fees are added to the Advance balance of your Account on the date they are charged to your Account.Any billed but unpaid fees on Purchases,credit insurance charges,and other charges are added to the Purchase balance of the Account on the date they are charged to the Account.Billed but unpaid fees on Balance Transfers are added to the Balance Transfer balance of the Account on the date they are charged to the Account.In other words,billed and unpaid interest,fees,and charges will be included in the ADB of your Account that accrues interest and will reduce the amount of credit available to you.Credit insurance charges are not included in the ADB calculation for Purchases until the first day of the billing cycle following the date the credit insurance premium is charged to the Account.Prior statement balances subject to an interest-free period that have been paid on or before the payment due date in the current billing cycle are not included in the ADB calculation. 2.Payment Information:Make checks payable to Cardmember Service. Use the enclosed return envelope to mail your payment to: Cardmember Service, P.O.Box 790408,St.Louis, MO 63179-0408.All payments by check or money order,in U.S.dollars and accompanied by a payment coupon will be credited to your Account on the day of receipt if received at this address by 5:00 p.m.CST on any banking day. Banking days are all calendar days except Saturday,Sunday,and federal holidays. Payments due over a Saturday,Sunday or federal holiday and received on those days will be credited on the day of receipt.Other types of mailed payments will be processed within five banking days of receipt by Cardmember Service and credited to your Account on the day of receipt. 3.Credit Reporting:We may report information on your Account to Credit Bureaus.Late payments,missed payments or other defaults on your Account may be reflected in your credit report.
