* How can your actions trigger the default APR? If you default under any card agreement you have with us because you • do not make the minimum payment when due,
• go over the credit line, or
• make a payment to us that is not honored,
all your APRs may automatically increase to the default APR. We set your default APR by reviewing (1) the seriousness of your default with us and (2) your credit history.

** How do we calculate variable rates? For each billing period we use the Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal two business days before the Statement/Closing Date.

How do we apply your payments? We apply your payments to low APR balances first. You cannot pay off higher APR balances until you pay off lower APR balances. That means your savings from any promotional APR offer will be reduced if you make purchases or cash advances that have higher APRs.

Rates, fees, and terms may change: We have the right to change the rates, fees, and terms at any time, for any reason, in accordance with the cardmember agreement and applicable law. These reasons may be based on information in your credit report, such as your failure to make payments to another creditor when due, amounts owed to other creditors, the number of credit accounts outstanding, or the number of credit inquiries. These reasons may also include competitive or market-related factors. If we make a change for any of these reasons, you will receive advance notice and a right to opt out in accordance with applicable law.
