How We Determine the U.S. Prime Rate
Each billing period, we use the U.S. Prime Rate that the Wall Street Journal publishes in its Money Rates section three business days before your billing statement’s closing date. When more than one U.S. Prime Rate exists, we use an average. If the U.S. Prime Rate is not published or available (temporarily or permanently), we use a substitute index that we believe is similar to the U.S. Prime Rate. We do so at our sole discretion.As of 12/10/2023, the U.S. Prime Rate is 8.50%.
-
How We Calculate Your Variable APR
We use the following margins:
We reserve the right to change terms, APRs, and fees at our discretion by following your Agreement and as allowed by applicable law.

How do we apply your payments?
-
Minimum Payment
- Lower APR balances (such as Purchases)

Amounts in Excess of the Minimum Payment
If you pay more than your required minimum payment, generally we apply the excess first to the higher APR balances and then to lower ones.
