1 If during an introductory or promotional rate period, we have not received the required minimum monthly payment by the respective due date two times in any 12 month period (non-consecutive), we may immediately terminate the introductory or promotional rate and your standard daily Periodic Rates and corresponding APRs for the transaction type will apply. If during an introductory or promotional rate period, we have not received the required minimum monthly payment by the respective due dates for two consecutive months, the LATE PAYMENT RATE will apply.

2 The APR is determined by consideration of your credit history and the application information you provided. The APR will be disclosed to you with the Cardholder Agreement you will receive with your new credit card, approximately 7 - 10 business days after account approval.

3 If at any time we have not received the required minimum monthly payment by the respective due dates for two consecutive months, we may immediately increase the applicable APR, including any introductory rate or promotional rate, to a fixed rate of 25.99%. The account may be eligible for the lower APR after you have met the terms of your Account Agreement for five consecutive billing cycles after the monthly statement on which the higher APR first appears. Promotional and/or introductory rates will not be reinstated.

4 The Prime Rate used to determine the APR on your Account is the rate published in The Wall Street Journal in its column called ”Money Rates” on the last business day of each month; provided, however, that the Prime Rate will be subject to a minimum Rate of 6%. There is no ceiling on the applicable APR.

We will allocate your payments in the manner we determine. We will apply payments first to Finance Charges and Other Fees and Charges. In most instances, we will then allocate your payments to balances with lower APRs before balances with higher APRs. This will result in balances with lower APRs (such as balances with introductory or promotional APRs) being paid before balances with higher APRs.

The Cardholder Agreement sets forth all Account terms and will be sent with your card. Provided the Account is meeting the terms of the Cardholder Agreement: (1) We will not increase an introductory APR during any introductory rate period; and (2) We will not increase any APR for 18 months following account opening, except for increases due to the expiration of an introductory or promotional rate period, if any, and changes in the Prime Rate as described above. Otherwise, we may change the terms of the Agreement at any time and new terms will affect all outstanding balances to the extent allowed by law.

BALANCE TRANSFER
The Balance Transfer must be from an existing credit card with another institution. You understand to close an account with another credit card company, you must notify the issuer directly.
