USING YOUR CREDIT CARD
Purchases: You may use your Card to perform Transactions on the Account, including Purchases from merchants that accept the Card.
Cash Advances. You may use your Card to obtain Cash Advances at an ATM, by presenting the Card to us, or to any entity that accepts the Card for that purpose or such other means that we may authorize from time to time, including through use of a check to obtain Cash Advances. The total outstanding Cash Advance balance on your Account at any given time may not exceed the Cash Advance Limit applicable to your Account, which is 50% of your Credit Limit. In addition to your Cash Advance Limit, we will restrict Cash Advances up to $500 per transaction at ATMs or up to your available Cash Advance Limit or your available Credit limit, whichever is less. We and other financial institutions that operate their own ATMs may have lower limits for Cash Advance transactions made at our or their ATMs or locations.
We will charge you a Cash Advance Fee for each Cash Advance. Cash Advances do not have any Grace Period, which means that Interest Charges will begin to accrue on the Cash Advance amount starting the day it is posted to your Account.
Balance Transfers. You may use your Card to obtain Balance Transfers, subject to the Balance Transfer terms described in this Agreement or any promotional Balance Transfer offer or such other means that we may authorize from time to time, including through the use of a check to obtain Balance Transfers. We may permit you to make Balance Transfers in order to transfer balances from eligible credit card accounts or other types of credit accounts with other financial institutions, to your Account up to the amount of any Balance Transfer Limit we may apply to your Balance Transfer. If you request a Balance Transfer that exceeds the applicable Balance Transfer Limit, we may, in our discretion, process the Balance Transfer for less than your requested amount (not to exceed the applicable Balance Transfer Limit) or we may decline the entire Balance Transfer request. We will charge you a Balance Transfer Fee for each Balance Transfer. Balance Transfers do not have any Grace Period, which means that Interest Charges will begin to accrue on the Balance Transfer amount starting the day it is posted to your Account.
When you make a Balance Transfer to transfer a balance from another eligible account, we will send a payment in the amount of the Balance Transfer to the other financial institution. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, how and when the other financial institution applies the payment or if they agree to accept the payment. You are responsible for verifying that the other financial institution applies the Balance Transfer payment in accordance with your other account's terms. We do not send instructions to the other financial institution to close your other account. If you wish for the other account to be closed, you must do that yourself. You should not request a transfer of any amount that is in dispute with your other financial institution in order to preserve your dispute rights. You should continue to monitor the other accounts from which you requested to transfer balances, and you should continue to pay the minimum payments due on those accounts until you receive statements from those financial institutions showing that the balances due to them have been paid in full. You are liable for any late payments, fees, finance charges, or disputed amounts that your other financial institution may impose on your other accounts.
Prohibited transactions. We may limit your use of the Account at our discretion. Such limitations include, but are not limited to, prohibiting the purchase of cryptocurrency and Internet-related gambling transactions. Your Account and any Card will be restricted from online betting activity, which includes but is not limited to, lottery tickets, casino gambling chips, off-track betting, and wagers at racetracks.
PIN usage . A PIN (a four-digit Personal Identification Number) will be issued for you to use with some of your Transactions, such as obtaining Cash Advances at ATMs. This is done for the protection of your Account from fraudulent activity. A PIN mailer will be mailed to you shortly after opening your Account and with each new Card issued to you or an Authorized User. It is your responsibility to retain your PIN in secrecy, and to not permit other persons to learn the PIN. To keep your Account secure, please do not write your PlN on your Card or keep it in the same place as your Card.
Credit Limits: Your Credit Limit is disclosed to you when your Account is opened and on each monthly statement. The Credit Limit is the total amount of credit available for your Account, a portion of which is available for Cash Advances as your Cash Advance Limit, which is disclosed on your monthly statement.
We may change your Credit Limit (including your Cash Advance Limit) from time to time and will notify you as required by applicable law. We base that decision on a variety of factors such as your payment and transaction history with us, and information we receive from third parties, including credit reporting agencies. The amount shown on your monthly statement as available credit does not take into account Purchases, Balance Transfers, Cash Advances, Interest Charges, and other Finance Charges or fees, any other Transactions, or credits which post to your Account after the Closing Date of that monthly statement.
