Paying Interest
Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you any interest on
purchases if you pay your entire balance by the due date each month. We will begin charging interest on cash
advances and balance transfers on the transaction date.
For Balance Transfer and Cash Advance balances, we will use an Average Balance Method (including new Balance
Transfers and Cash Advances): This balance is figured by adding the outstanding balance (including new Balance
Transfers and Cash Advances and deducting payments and credits) for each day in the current billing cycle, together
with the balances for each day in the previous billing cycle for balance transfers and cash advances with transaction
dates in the previous cycle and posting dates in the current cycle, and then dividing by the number of days in the
current billing cycle.
CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT
We reserve the right to amend this Agreement at any time, by adding, deleting, or changing provisions of this Agreement.
All amendments will comply with the applicable notice requirements of federal and North Carolina law that are in effect at
that time.
If an amendment gives you the opportunity to reject the change, and if you reject the change in the manner provided in such
amendment, we may terminate your right to receive credit and may ask you to return all credit devices as a condition of your
rejection. We may replace your card with another card at any time.
● Changes related to your individual credit history, such as: your risk profile, your payment or transaction patterns,
balance patterns, the utilization levels of this and other accounts, credit bureau information including the age, history
and type of other accounts, and the measure of risk associated with each.
● Changes to overall economic and market trends, product design, and business needs.
"We", "us", "our" means Bank of America, N.A., also known as FIA Card Services and referred to in future communications as
FIA Card Services.
"You" and "your" mean each and all of the persons who are granted, accept or use the account and any person who has guaranteed
payment of the account.
You may use your account for personal, family, or household purposes. You may not use your account for business or commercial
purposes.
Our failure or delay in exercising any of our rights under this Agreement does not mean that we are unable to exercise those
rights later.
TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS
You may obtain credit in the form of Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances, by using cards, access checks,
an account number, or other credit devices. Cards are all the credit cards we issue to you and to any other person with
authorization for use on this account pursuant to this Agreement. An access check is a check we provide to you to obtain
credit on this account. All access checks include an expiration date printed at the top. We will honor access checks received for
payment before the expiration date printed on the check, provided your account is open and in good standing, with available
credit. Access checks without a printed expiration date will not be honored. Sign your card before using it.
Purchase means the use of your card or account number (including through the use of an enabled mobile device) to:
1. buy or lease goods or services;
2. buy wire transfers from a non-financial institution (Wire Transfer Purchase);
3. make a transaction that is not otherwise a Cash Advance.
Purchases include Account Fees, as well as Transaction Fees and adjustments associated with any Purchase.
Balance Transfer means a transfer of funds to another creditor initiated by us at your request. A Balance Transfer
does not include a transaction that is otherwise a Cash Advance, except that any Direct Deposit completed at the time of
your application for this account will be treated as a Balance Transfer. Balance Transfers include Transaction Fees and
adjustments associated with any Balance Transfer.
A Cash Advance means the use of your account for a loan in the following ways:
1. Direct Deposit: by a transfer of funds via an ACH (Automated Clearing House) transaction to a deposit account initiated
by us at your request. A Direct Deposit does not include an Overdraft Protection Cash Advance or a Same-Day Online
Cash Advance.
2. Check Cash Advance: by an access check you sign as drawer.
3. Bank Cash Advance: by loans accessed in the following manner:
a. ATM Cash Advance: at an automated teller machine;
b. Over the Counter ("OTC") Cash Advance: at any financial institution (e.g., to obtain cash, money orders,
wire transfers, or travelers checks);
c. Same-Day Online Cash Advance: by a same day online funds transfer to a deposit account;
d. Overdraft Protection Cash Advance: by a transfer of funds to a deposit account pursuant to an overdraft
protection program (see the section titled Overdraft Protection below);
e. Cash Equivalents: by the purchase of foreign currency, money orders, travelers checks, or to obtain cash,
each from a non-financial institution, or person-to-person money transfers, bets, lottery tickets purchased
outside the United States, casino gaming chips, or bail bonds, with your card or account number (including
through the use of an enabled mobile device).
Cash Advances include Transaction Fees and adjustments associated with any Cash Advance.
All Bank Cash Advances are subject to the Cash Credit Line. For more information on credit lines, please refer to the section
titled Your Revolving Lines within this Agreement.
In certain instances, those transactions will replicate using your card to make a transaction on the internet with your
computer. In other instances, the phone or mobile device will act as if it were a credit card itself. Applications that enable your
mobile device will have unique terms governing those applications. Read them carefully. Transactions made through those
applications are governed by this Agreement.
When your credit card account information is accessible by your mobile device, it is important that you treat your
mobile device with the same care you would your credit card. For example, you should secure your mobile device against
unauthorized access. Keep in mind, if you give someone your phone, or other mobile device, that can be the same as giving
that person your credit card.
CURRENT RATES
Your current rate is the rate that will apply to transactions that are not subject to an Introductory or a Promotional Rate.
[see the Pricing Information table for current rates]
We may increase the APRs on new transactions up to the Penalty APR, based on your creditworthiness, each time a Total
Minimum Payment Due is not received by its applicable Payment Due Date. We may elect to set your APRs for Purchases,
Balance Transfers, Direct Deposit and Check Cash Advances, and Bank Cash Advances to different Penalty APRs. We will
provide you with a minimum of 45 days advance notice. An increased Penalty APR will remain in effect indefinitely.
Penalty APRs are variable rates calculated using the variable rate formula with a margin of up to 26.74 percentage points;
this currently results in an APR of 30.74% (0.084219% DPR). The calculated Penalty APR using this variable rate formula will
not exceed 29.99%.
An increase or decrease in the index will cause a corresponding increase or decrease in your variable rates on the first day of
your billing cycle that begins in the same month in which the index is published. An increase in the index means that you will
pay higher interest charges and have a higher Total Minimum Payment Due. If The Wall Street Journal does not publish the U.
S. Prime Rate, or if it changes the definition of the U.S. Prime Rate, we may, in our sole discretion, substitute another index.
BILLING CYCLE
A billing cycle is a time period that ends on a Statement Closing Date (or Closing Date) determined by us and begins on the day
after the Closing Date of the previous billing cycle. Each monthly statement reflects a single billing cycle.
PAYING INTEREST
When applicable, interest accrues daily and compounds daily on new transactions, and balances remaining from previous billing
cycles. Interest will continue to accrue even though you have paid the full amount of any related balances because we include
any accrued but unpaid interest in the calculation of each Balance Subject to Interest Rate.
We will not charge you any interest on Purchases if you always pay your entire New Balance Total by the Payment Due
Date. Specifically, you will not pay interest for an entire billing cycle on Purchases if you Paid in Full the two previous New
Balance Totals on your account by their respective Payment Due Dates; otherwise, each Purchase begins to accrue interest on
its transaction date or the first day of the billing cycle, whichever date is later.
We w ill begin accruing interest on Balance Transfers and Cash Advances on the transaction date. The transaction date for
access checks is the date the check is first deposited or cashed.
New Balance Total means the total billed amount as of the Closing Date of a billing cycle, as shown on your monthly statement.
Pay in Full or Paid in Full means payments and credits in a billing cycle totaling at least your previous billing cycle's New
Balance Total.
Your Payment Due Date will be at least 25 days from your statement Closing Date and will fall on the same calendar day each
month.
To calculate the daily balance for each day in the current billing cycle, we: (1) take the beginning balance; (2) add an amount
equal to the applicable DPR multiplied by the previous day's daily balance; (3) add new Purchases, new Account Fees, and new
Transaction Fees; and (4) subtract applicable payments and credits. If any daily balance is less than zero we treat it as zero.
Average Balance Method (including new Balance Transfers and new Cash Advances): We calculate separate
Balances Subject to an Interest Rate for Balance Transfers, Cash Advances, and for each Introductory or Promotional Offer
balance consisting of Balance Transfers or Cash Advances by: (1) calculating a daily balance for each day in the current
billing cycle; (2) calculating a daily balance for each day prior to the current billing cycle that had a "Pre-Cycle balance" - a
Pre-Cycle balance is a Balance Transfer or a Cash Advance with a transaction date prior to the current billing cycle but with
a posting date within the current billing cycle; (3) adding all the daily balances together; and (4) dividing the sum of the daily
balances by the number of days in the current billing cycle.
To calculate the daily balance for each day in the current billing cycle, we: (1) take the beginning balance; (2) add an amount
equal to the applicable DPR multiplied by the previous day's daily balance; (3) add new Balance Transfers, Cash Advances
and Transaction Fees; and (4) subtract applicable payments and credits. If any daily balance is less than zero we treat it as
zero.
To calculate a daily balance for each day prior to the current billing cycle that had a Pre-Cycle balance, we: (1) take the beginning
balance attributable solely to a Pre-Cycle balance (which will be zero on the transaction date associated with the first Pre-Cycle
balance); (2) add an amount equal to the applicable DPR multiplied by the previous day's daily balance; and (3) add only the
applicable Pre-Cycle balances, and their related Transaction Fees. We exclude from this calculation all transactions posted in
previous billing cycles.
TRANSACTION FEES
We will assess the following Transaction Fees to your account in the same balance category to which the transaction is posted,
[see the Pricing Information table for fee amounts].
Balance Transfer
ATM Cash Advance
Cash Equivalent
Check Cash Advance
Direct Deposit
Overdraft Protection
Over the Counter Cash Advance
Same-Day Online Cash Advance
Foreign Transaction
Wire Transfer Purchase
ACCOUNT FEES
The following fees are assessed as Purchases in the billing cycle in which the fees accrue:
An Annual Fee: [see the Pricing Information table for fee amount]. The Annual Fee will be assessed each [month of account
opening] if your account is open or if you maintain an account balance, whether or not you have active charging privileges.
We will assess a Late Fee, if the Total Minimum Payment Due shown on your monthly statement is not received by us on or
before its Payment Due Date. The Late Fee will not exceed the Total Minimum Payment Due immediately prior to assessment
of the fee. On the Late Fee transaction date: [see the Pricing Information table for fee amount]
A Returned Payment Fee of [see the Pricing Information table for fee amount] if a payment on your account is returned for
insufficient funds or for any other reason, even if it is paid upon subsequent presentment (if we elect to re-present the payment).
The Returned Payment Fee will not exceed the Total Minimum Payment Due immediately prior to assessment of the fee, and
will never exceed the amount of the payment being returned.
PAYMENTS AND DEFAULT
YOUR PROMISE TO PAY
You promise to pay us the amounts of all credit you obtain, which includes all Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances.
You also promise to pay us all the amounts of interest charges, fees, and any other transactions charged to your account. If a
bank branch or office sponsors your account, you promise to pay it any unpaid account balance it pays us within 30 days.
ACH PAYMENTS
We process most payment checks electronically. We use the information on your check to create an electronic funds transfer.
Each time you send a check, you authorize a one-time electronic funds transfer. You also authorize us to process your check
as a check or paper draft, as necessary. Funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day we receive your
payment. You will not receive your cancelled check because we are required to destroy it. We will retain an electronic copy. For
more information or to stop the conversion of your checks into electronic funds transfers, call us at the phone number listed on
the front of your monthly statement. You may also write to us at: P.O. Box 982234, El Paso, TX 79998-2234.
The Current Payment for each billing cycle includes three amounts: (1) 1.00% of your balance (your New Balance Total except
for any new interest charges and any new Late Fee), and (2) new interest charges, and (3) any new Late Fee. Your current
Payment will not be less than $25.00. We round the payment amount down to the nearest dollar.
The Total Minimum Payment Due will not be greater than your New Balance Total. If a payment is credited to your account
but is returned unpaid in a later billing cycle, we will recalculate the Total Minimum Payment Due for the billing cycle in
which the payment was originally credited.
DEFAULT
You will be in default of this Agreement if you fail to make any required Total Minimum Payment Due by its Payment Due
Date or you fail to abide by any other term of this Agreement.
CREDIT AVAILABILITY
YOUR REVOLVING LINES
This credit card has no pre-set spending limit. This does not mean that all transactions will be approved. We will consider
transactions for approval on an individual basis, including transactions in excess of the revolving line. Your revolving line, which
may also be referred to as your Total Credit Line and Cash Credit Line, are disclosed to you when you receive your card and,
generally, on each monthly statement. The Total Credit Line is the amount of credit available for the account; however, only a
portion of that is available for Bank Cash Advances. The Cash Credit Line is that amount you have available for Bank Cash
Advances. The amount of credit available in your Cash Credit Line will never exceed the amount of credit available in your
Total Credit Line.
We may change your revolving lines from time to time. We base that decision on a variety of factors such as your payment
and transaction history with us, and information that we receive from third parties, including credit reporting agencies. The
amounts shown on your monthly statement as available credit do not take into account Purchases, Balance Transfers, Cash
Advances, interest charges, fees, any other transactions, or credits which post to your account after the Closing Date of that
monthly statement.
Each time you attempt a transaction which results in your applicable outstanding balance (plus authorizations) exceeding a
revolving line, we may: (1) permit the transaction without raising your revolving line; or (2) refuse to permit the transaction.
If we refuse to permit the transaction, we may advise the person who attempted the transaction that it has been refused. If
we refuse to permit a Check Cash Advance or Balance Transfer, we may do so by advising the person presenting the Check
Cash Advance or Balance Transfer that credit has been refused, that there are insufficient funds to pay the Check Cash
Advance or Balance Transfer, or in any other manner.
LIMITATIONS/WARNINGS
PURPOSES FOR USING YOUR ACCOUNT
You may not use this account to make a payment on this or any other credit account with us or our affiliates. You may not use
or permit your account to be used to make any illegal transaction. You will only use your account for transactions that are
legal where you conduct them. For example, Internet gambling transactions may be illegal in your state. Display of a payment
card logo by an online merchant does not mean that an Internet transaction is legal where you conduct it. We may charge
your account for such transactions. We will not be liable if you engage in an illegal transaction. We may deny authorization
of any transactions identified as Internet gambling. You may not use your account to conduct transactions in any country
or territory, or with any individual or entity that is subject to economic sanctions administered and enforced by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Use of your account in those countries will be blocked.
MISCELLANEOUS
OVERDRAFT PROTECTION
If your deposit account (eligible checking or money market savings account) with Bank of America is linked to this account,
this overdraft protection feature will allow funds to be transferred (overdraft protection transfers) from this account into your
designated deposit account with Bank of America when transactions occur on your deposit account, such as checks or other
debits, that if paid would cause the deposit account to be overdrawn (overdraft transactions). Overdraft protection transfers
include automatic transfers to cover deposit account fees. Overdraft protection transfers are processed after close of business
Monday through Friday and are treated as Overdraft Protection Cash Advances. Each day's overdraft transactions will be
totaled and rounded to the next $100 increment up to your available Cash Credit Line, regardless of who initiated the overdraft
transactions. For example, if your deposit account has a balance of $1.00 and a check or other debit item for $125 is presented
for payment, which if paid would cause your deposit account to be overdrawn, an overdraft protection transfer of $200 will be
made to your deposit account and an Overdraft Protection Cash Advance of $200 will post to this account. The Portion of Credit
Available for Cash on this account must be sufficient to cover the total amount of overdraft transactions (received by Bank of
America that day) rounded to the next $100 increment (but excluding any overdraft protection fee); otherwise one or more of
the overdraft transactions for that day will be rejected. However, if the Portion of Credit Available for Cash on this account
is greater than the overdraft transaction amount, but the Portion of Credit Available for Cash is insufficient for the overdraft
transaction amount to be rounded to the next $100 increment, then the amount of the overdraft transaction will be the amount
of your Portion of Credit Available for Cash. We will not assess an Overdraft Protection Cash Advance fee for any overdraft
protection transfer from this account to a linked Bank of America deposit account, if we determine that your deposit account is
overdrawn by a total amount less than $12.00, after we finish processing for the day. If your account is subject to an Overdraft
Protection Cash Advance fee, then overdraft protection transfers will be assessed the Overdraft Protection Cash Advance fee
for each such Cash Advance. Overdraft Protection transfers incur interest charges from the transaction date. We may permit
or refuse to permit any overdraft protection transfer that would cause you to exceed the Cash Credit Line on this account. This
overdraft protection feature will automatically be cancelled if this account is closed by either you or us, or at any time upon
your request. Your overdraft transactions remain subject to the terms of your deposit account with Bank of America, any related
enrollment agreement, and this Agreement.
Where you have provided a cell phone number directly to us, you consent and agree to accept servicing calls and text
messages to your cell phone from us. For example, we may place calls to you about fraud alerts or amounts you owe us
(collection calls) on your account. For any telephone or cell phone calls/communications we place to you, you consent and agree
that those calls may be automatically dialed including prerecorded messages or texts.
If you believe we have furnished inaccurate or incomplete information about you or your account to a credit reporting agency,
write to us at: Bank of America, N.A., Credit Reporting Agencies, P.O. Box 982238, El Paso, TX 79998-2238. Please include
your name, address, home phone number, and account number, and explain what you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
BENEFITS
We may offer you certain benefits and services with your account. Any benefits or services are not a part of this Agreement,
but are subject to the terms and restrictions outlined in the Benefits Guide and other official documents provided to you from
time to time by or on behalf of Bank of America. We may adjust, add, or delete benefits and services at any time and without
notice to you.
We use section headings (e.g., Types of Transactions) to organize this Agreement. The headings are for reference purposes only.
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.

● Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you
believe it is a mistake.
● At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you
think is wrong.
You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any
potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.
Note: It is very helpful if your letter includes the transaction date and the reference number for the charge, if available.
1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have
already corrected the error.
2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is
correct.
● We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
● The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.
● While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
● We can apply any unpaid amount against your Total Credit Line.
● If we determine there was a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees
related to that amount.
● If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest
and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you

refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We
must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when
the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is
correct.
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.
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 us in writing at:
Bank of America
P.O. Box 982235
El Paso, TX 79998-2235
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.
