PERIODIC FINANCE CHARGE CALUCULATION METHOD
The periodic Finance Charge Calculation
Method applicable to your account for Cash Advances and Credit
purchases of goods and services that you obtain through the use
of your Card is specified in Section I on the Disclosure above
and explained below.
Method A, Average Daily Balance (including
current transactions): The Finance Charge on purchases begins
from the date the transaction is posted to your account and the
Finance Charge on cash advances begins from the date you
obtained the cash advance or the first day of the billing cycle
in which it is posted to your account, whichever is later. There
is no grace period.
The Finance Charges for a billing cycle are
computed by applying the monthly Periodic Rate to the average
daily balance of your account. To get the average daily balance
we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any
new purchases or cash advances, and subtract any payments,
credits, non-accruing fees, and unpaid finance charges. This
gives us the daily balance. Then we add up all the daily
balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the
number of days in the billing cycle.
Method E, Average Daily Balance (excluding
current transactions): To avoid incurring an additional Finance
Charge on the balance of purchases (and cash advances if Method
E is specified as applicable to cash advances) reflected on your
monthly statement you must pay the New Balance shown on your
monthly statement on or before the Payment Due Date. The grace
period for the New balance of purchases extends to the Payment
Due Date.
