How Do You Calculate My Balance? We use a method called “average daily balance (including new transactions).” See “How
Do You Calculate The Interest Charge?” section below.
What Are My Billing Rights? Information on your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise those rights is provided in
the “Your Billing Rights” section in the enclosed Additional Disclosures.
Are There Any Other Penalty Fees Associated With This Card That Are Not Listed In The Box Above? No. There are no
additional Penalty Fees associated with this card.
What Should I Put For Total Annual Income? You may include personal income, which is income you have earned, including
full-time, part-time, or seasonal jobs, self-employment, interest or dividends, retirement, and public assistance. You may also
include shared income, which is money from somebody else that is regularly deposited into your individual account or into a joint
account that person shares with you. If you are 21 or over, you may also include somebody else’s income that is regularly used to
pay your expenses.
What Will My Transfer Fee Be If I Transfer A Balance? If you transfer a balance at the Transfer APR, that Transfer will not incur
a Transfer Fee. Any transferred balance that posts to your account at a promotional APR that we may offer you will incur a 3%
Transfer Fee.
Can You Change My APRs? While a late payment won’t cause your APR to increase, in the future, we may increase your APRs
if market conditions change. If we increase your APRs for any reason other than an increase in the Prime Rate, the new APRs will
apply only to new transactions you make after we notify you of the change in writing.
Can You Change My Account Terms? We can change the terms of your account as permitted by law. When required, we will
send you notice before doing so.
How Do You Calculate My Variable Rates? Your variable rates may change when the Prime Rate changes. We calculate
variable rates by adding a percentage to the Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the 25th day of December,
March, June and September. If the Journal is not published on that day, then see the immediately preceding edition. Variable rates
on the following segment(s) will be updated quarterly and will take effect on the first day of your January, April, July and October
billing periods: Non-Introductory Purchase APR: Prime plus 12.24%, 18.24% or 22.24%; Transfer APR: Prime plus 12.24%,
18.24% or 22.24%; Cash Advance APR: Prime plus 22.24%. Any increase in the Prime Rate may increase your Interest Charges
and your Minimum Payment.
How Do You Determine My Credit Line? We will determine your credit line after a review of your application and your ability to
pay.
How Do You Determine Whether I Will Receive The Visa Signature Or Visa Platinum Card? Your credit history and
application will be reviewed to determine your credit line, which determines whether you receive a Visa Signature or Visa Platinum
card. Some features and benefits are only available to accounts approved for the Visa Signature card, subject to terms,
conditions, and exclusions in the Visa Signature Guide to Benefits.
What Are The Daily Periodic Rates Used To Calculate My Interest? The daily periodic rate for your Introductory Purchase APR
is 0.00000%, Non-Introductory Purchase APR is 0.04244%, 0.05888% or 0.06984%, Transfer APR is 0.04244%, 0.05888% or
0.06984%, and Cash Advance APR is 0.06984%. See “How Do You Calculate The Interest Charge?” section in the enclosed
Additional Disclosures.
How Do You Calculate My Minimum Payment? If your balance is less than $25, your minimum payment will be equal to your
balance. Otherwise, your minimum payment will be the greater of $25 or 1% of your balance plus new interest and late payment
fees. We will also add any past due amount to your minimum payment. If your Account charges off, the entire balance is due
immediately.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS REWARDS PROGRAM

How do I earn rewards? You will earn 1.25 miles per dollar on net purchases (purchases minus any credits or returns) only. Cash
advances, balance transfers, and checks used to access your account are not considered purchases and will not earn rewards.
How does my spend bonus work? You will earn 20,000 bonus miles if you spend at least $500 within 3 months of your rewards
membership enrollment date. Once you qualify for this bonus, we will apply it to your rewards balance within two billing cycles.
Existing or previous Accountholders may not be eligible for this one-time bonus.
Will my rewards ever expire? Your rewards are yours for the life of the account—they will not expire. But if your account is
closed, you will lose any rewards you have not redeemed.
Is there a limit to the amount of rewards I can earn? There is no cap to the amount of rewards you can earn on purchases.
How do I earn my rewards for purchases made through Capital One Travel? You will earn 5 miles per dollar for purchases
(hotel and car rental only) made through Capital One Travel using this Rewards card account. Earnings will apply to net purchases
(purchases minus any credits or returns) only. Purchases made outside of Capital One Travel, such as hotel incidentals, upgrades
or other expenses, will not earn 5 miles per dollar, but will receive the standard purchase earn rate.
What changes have been made to how I can redeem my rewards? Now through June 30, 2021, you can redeem miles for
restaurant delivery/takeout, streaming services and wireless telephone services. Simply use the "Cover Your Purchases"
redemption option.

What counts as restaurant delivery and takeout?


Purchases made from eligible restaurant delivery services—including DoorDash®, Uber Eats® and Postmates®—or directly with
restaurants, cafes or fast-food chains. This excludes pre-made meal kits, food subscription services and grocery delivery services.

What counts as streaming services?


Streaming purchases made from eligible music and video streaming services, including Netflix®, Hulu® and Disney+. This
excludes some services, such as audiobook subscription services and fitness programming.

What counts as wireless telephone services?


Monthly bills and other purchases made from eligible wireless providers, including AT&T®, Verizon® and T-Mobile®. This
excludes some services, such as cable and internet.
How does Capital One determine which purchases qualify for redemption?
Every time you buy something, the merchant assigns a category code to your purchase. We use these codes to determine if it’s
eligible for miles redemption. Please note, Capital One isn’t responsible for codes used by merchants.

Purchases made through third-party payment accounts, mobile or wireless card readers, mobile or digital wallets or similar
technology may not be eligible, depending on how the technology is set up to process the purchase.
How do I redeem my rewards for travel? You have two ways to redeem your miles for travel:
1) Redeem for past travel purchases using Purchase Eraser®
Simply book your travel through your favorite travel website, travel agent, or other travel resource using your Capital One Rewards
card. Then, go online at capitalone.com or call our Rewards Center to use our Purchase Eraser feature to redeem your miles and
receive an account credit for the cost of your travel purchase.

Purchase Eraser redemptions must be made within 90 days from the date your travel purchase posts to your account. Your
account credit is usually applied to your balance within 2 to 3 business days after the redemption. Redemptions for a portion of a
purchase amount (partial redemptions) are available.

2) Book new travel reservations


Go online to capitalone.com or contact our Rewards Center to book your flight, car rental or hotel and use your miles to pay for
your travel.
The number of miles needed for travel redemption varies and is based upon the cost of the travel purchase. Here is how it works:

Simply multiply the cost of your travel purchase by 100. For example, if your travel purchase costs $200, you would multiply that
by 100 to determine you need 20,000 miles to redeem.

If your travel transaction includes taxes, surcharges, and fees, these expenses will be included in the overall calculation to
determine how many miles are required for redemption. Separately itemized travel transactions on your statement cannot be
combined for a single redemption. Please note that Capital One has no control over how merchants itemize and charge related
transactions.
What types of travel purchases are eligible for Purchase Eraser for Previous Travel? Purchases made from airlines, hotels,
rail lines, car rental agencies, limousine services, bus lines, cruise lines, taxi cabs, travel agents and time shares are generally
considered to be travel purchases and availability for redemption is based on the merchant category code assigned to them by the
merchant. Capital One is not responsible for how merchants assign these codes.
Can I redeem my rewards for something other than travel? You can also redeem your miles for cash in the form of a check or
account credit, gift cards and more. Rates for these other redemption options vary and are subject to change without notice. As an
Accountholder, you can enroll in online servicing at capitalone.com to see a complete description of current redemption offers.
Is my account eligible to transfer rewards? Your account may be eligible to transfer rewards. You may be able to transfer your
rewards between certain Capital One rewards accounts, and to certain select external Travel Loyalty Programs. Not all rewards
products are eligible for transfer.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS CARD


When Can I Request A Transfer? You may request a transfer 10 days after your account is opened. Your account may not
always be eligible for Transfers. Transfer eligibility is determined by Capital One at our discretion. Transfers between Capital One
accounts are not permitted. That means balances cannot be transferred to this account from any other credit card issued by
Capital One including, but not limited to cards branded with, Bass Pro Shops CLUB, Cabela's, Kohl’s, Sony, GM, BuyPower Card,
Union Plus, Walmart and Teamster Privilege.
How Do You Apply My Payment? We will apply payments up to your minimum payment first to the balance with the lowest APR
(including 0% APR), and then to balances with higher APRs. We apply any part of your payment exceeding your minimum
payment to the balance with the highest APR, and then to balances with lower APRs.
How Can I Avoid Paying Interest Charges? If you pay your statement’s “New Balance” in full by the due date each month, we
will not charge interest on any new transactions that post to the purchase balance. If you have been paying your account in full
without interest charges, but fail to pay your next “New Balance” in full, we will charge interest on the unpaid balance. For cash
advances and transfers, we will start charging interest on the transaction date. From time to time, we may give you offers that
allow you to pay less than the total balance and avoid interest charges to new transactions that post to your purchase balance. If
we do, we will provide details in the specific offer.
How Is The Interest Charge Determined? Interest charges accrue from the 1) date of the transaction, 2) date the transaction is
processed or 3) first day of the billing period. Interest accrues daily on every unpaid amount until it is paid in full. Any interest that
has accrued during a billing period will post to your Account at the end of the billing period and will appear on your next Statement.
This means you may owe Interest Charges even if you pay the entire “New Balance” one month, but did not do so the previous
month. For example, even if a customer pays their balance in full on a February 26th due date, interest would continue to accrue
on the balance from February 2nd (the start of the Billing Cycle) through February 26th, and will appear on their next Statement.
Once you start accruing Interest Charges, you generally must pay your New Balance in full for two consecutive Billing Cycles
before Interest Charges stop being posted to your Statement. Interest Charges are added to the proper segment of your account.
However, we reserve the right to not assess Interest Charges.
How Do You Calculate The Interest Charge? We use a method called Average Daily Balance (including new transactions).
Under this method, we first calculate your daily balance; for each segment, 1) take the beginning balance and add in new
transactions and the periodic interest charge on the previous day’s balance, then 2) subtract any payments and credits for that
segment as of that day. The result is the daily balance for each segment. However, if you paid your previous month’s balance in
full (or if your balance was zero or a credit amount), new transactions which post to your purchase or special purchase segments
are not added to the daily balances. Also, transactions subject to a grace period are not added to the daily balances.

Next, to find your Average Daily Balance: 1) add the daily balances together for each segment, and 2) divide the sum by the
number of days in the billing cycle.

At the end of each billing cycle, we determine your Interest Charge as follows: 1) multiply your Average Daily Balance by the daily
periodic rate (APR divided by 365) for that segment, and 2) multiply the result by the number of days in the billing period. NOTE:
Due to rounding or a minimum interest charge, this calculation may vary from the interest charge actually assessed.
Are Unauthorized Use Or $0 Fraud Liability Claims Subject To Investigation And Verification? Yes.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT:

open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may
also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
MILITARY LENDING ACT NOTICE

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS: KEEP THIS DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE USE


This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement: If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:
Capital One, P. O. Box 30279, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0279
In your letter, give us the following information:
• Account information: Your name and account number.
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
• 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.
You must contact us:
• Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.
• 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 or notify us electronically, but if you do we are not required to
investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.
What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter.
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
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 our receipt of your letter, we will send you a written notice explaining either that we corrected the error (to
appear on your next statement) or the reasons we believe the bill is correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error, the following are true:
• 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 until we send you a notice about the outcome of our investigation, you are
responsible for the remainder of your balance.
• We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
• If we made 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 as delinquent if you
do not pay the amount we think you owe.
If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still 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. To use this
right, all of the following must be true:
1. 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; and
2. 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:
Capital One, P. O. Box 30279, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0279
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.
