Do you know what is a Prime Rate? |
|
| |
The Prime Rate is the Index used to calculate the interest rate on your account. For each billing cycle, the Index is determined in the month prior to the month in which the billing cycle ends. In that prior month, the highest Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal is selected (the "Index"). If the Index has changed, the new variable rates will take effect with the billing cycle that ends on or after the first day of the month following the Index change.
|
|
 |
What is a Variable Rate?
|
|
| |
A variable rate is a rate that can change because it is based on an Index. In the case of a major credit card, the Index is the Prime Rate. The Index is added to the Spread to determine the Annual Percentage Rate. For example, if the Prime Rate is 9%, and the Spread is 9.99%, the Variable Rate would be an 18.99% Annual Percentage Rate.
|
|
|
|
What is a Default Rate?
|
|
| |
The Default APR is the rate charged on your entire Account Balance if your Minimum Payment is received and posted after the Payment Due Date, you exceed your credit limit , or you are otherwise in default under the terms of the Cardmember Agreement and Disclosure Statement.
|
|
|
|
What is a Cash Advance? |
|
| |
A cash advance is a withdrawal against the available credit on your credit card account and are all advances made by cash advanced over the counter, through an ATM, by check or other "cash-like" transactions. There is no grace period when you obtain a cash advance and finance charges begin to accrue on the transaction date. Cash advance amounts may be limited. Usually, there is a Cash Advance APR.
