Finance Charges In the case of any transactions under Your Account, the balances subject to the periodic Finance Charge are the average daily transactions balances outstanding during the month (including new transactions). To get the average daily balance for purchases, We take the beginning balance of purchases on Your Account each day, add any new purchases, debit adjustments or other charges and subtract any payments, credits and unpaid Finance Charges. This gives Us the daily balance for purchases. Then, We add up all these daily balances for the billing cycle and divide them by the number of days in the billing cycle. The result is the average daily balance for purchases. The Finance Charge for a billing cycle is then computed by multiplying the average daily balance subject to a Finance Charge by the Monthly Periodic Rate. Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. You can avoid Finance Charges on purchases by paying the full amount of the entire balance owed each month by the due date. Otherwise, the new balance of purchases, and subsequent purchases from the date they are posted to Your Account, will be subject to a Finance Charge. To get the average daily balance for balance transfers, We take the beginning balance of balance transfers on Your Account each day, add any new balance transfers, debit adjustments or other charges and subtract any payments, credits and unpaid Finance Charges. This gives Us the daily balance for balance transfers. Then, We add up all these daily balances for the billing cycle and divide them by the number of days in the billing cycle. The result is the average daily balance for balance transfers. The Finance Charge for a billing cycle is then computed by multiplying the average daily balance subject to a Finance Charge by the Monthly Periodic Rate. Balance transfers are always subject to a Finance Charge from the later of the date they are posted to Your Account or from the first day of the billing cycle in which the balance transfer is posted to Your Account. To get the average daily balance for cash advances, We take the beginning balance of cash advances on Your Account each day, add any new cash advances, debit adjustments or other charges and subtract any payments, credits and unpaid Finance Charges. This gives Us the daily balance for cash advances. Then, We add up all these daily balances for the billing cycle and divide them by the number of days in the billing cycle. The result is the average daily balance for cash advances. The Finance Charge for a billing cycle is then computed by multiplying the average daily balance subject to a Finance Charge by the Monthly Periodic Rate. Cash advances are always subject to a Finance Charge from the later of the date they are posted to Your Account or from the first day of the billing cycle in which the cash advance is posted to Your Account. The total Finance Charge You owe for each billing cycle is the sum of all the Finance Charges due for the balances of purchases, balance transfers and cash advances. The minimum FINANCE CHARGE that You will be required to pay in any billing cycle that a Finance Charge is due is $0.50. VARIABLE RATE. For purchases, balances are subject to a Variable Rate which is based on the highest Prime Rate as published in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal in effect on the last day of each calendar quarter of each year ("Index") plus Our Margin. The Index plus the Margin equals the Interest Rate. Changes in the Index will cause changes in the Interest Rate on the first day of the billing cycle of the month immediately following any such change in the Index. For balance transfers, balances are subject to a Variable Rate which is based on the highest Prime Rate as published in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal in effect on the last day of each calendar quarter of each year ("Index") plus Our Margin. The Index plus the Margin equals the Interest Rate. Changes in the Index will cause changes in the Interest Rate on the first day of the billing cycle of the month immediately following any such change in the Index. For cash advances, balances are subject to a Variable Rate which is based on the highest Prime Rate as published in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal in effect on the last day of each calendar quarter of each year ("Index'') plus Our Margin. The Index plus the Margin equals the Interest Rate. Changes in the Index will cause changes in the Interest Rate on the first day of the billing cycle of the month immediately following any such change in the Index.
