How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We will use a method called "average daily balance
(including new purchases)."
Note 1 Other than an introductory rate, the APRs may increase or decrease monthly based on the Prime Rate
published in The Wall Street Journal. There is no limit on the amount of any increase. Any increase in the APR
may increase your minimum payment and amount of interest you pay.
Note 2 We charge interest (unless the grace period applies) from the date of the transaction until the date
you pay us back. There is no grace period for Cash Advances or Balance Transfers.
Note 3 Late Payment Fee is $25 for the first time late within prior 6
billing periods; otherwise $35. Returned Payment Fee is $25
for first return payment within prior 6 billing periods; otherwise $35. In no event will either
fee exceed the minimum payment due on your most recent bill.

B. Other Information
By requesting a USAA credit card account from USAA Savings Bank in Las Vegas, Nevada (referred to as "we," "us"
or "our" in this paragraph):
- You certify that: (1) you are a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident of the U.S. (2) you are at least 18
years of age; and (3) the information you provide to us is correct and given for the purpose of obtaining
credit. You understand that we will rely on this information.
- You authorize us to confirm the information you provide to us, retain your application, and open an account
for you. You also authorize us to obtain and use consumer credit reports in connection with this application
and in reviewing, modifying or collecting any credit extended to you. If you ask, we will tell you if we
requested a credit report and give you the name and address of the credit reporting agency. If we no longer
offer or you do not qualify for the card requested, you authorize us to consider you for another USAA credit
card account.
Your application is subject to our approval in Las Vegas, Nevada. Upon approval, we will establish the APRs, fees
and amount of your credit line and send you a Credit Card Agreement and your credit card(s). This offer is not
transferable.
Credit Card Agreement: You will be deemed to sign the agreement when the first transaction is
made on the account. If no transactions are made within ten days after your account is opened, then you will be
deemed to sign the agreement unless you close the account. If you do not want to agree to the terms in the
agreement, make sure no transactions are made and that you close the account within ten days from when it is
opened. The Agreement is governed by the laws of Nevada and the United States and is subject to
change. In addition, if your billing address is in the State of Maryland, except to the extent
preempted by federal law, title 12, subtitle 9 of the Maryland Commercial Code will apply.
California Residents: Married applicants may apply for separate credit.
Ohio Residents: The Ohio laws against discrimination require that all creditors make credit
equally available to all creditworthy customers, and that credit reporting agencies maintain separate credit
histories on each individual upon request. The Ohio Civil Rights Commission administers compliance with this
law.
Wisconsin Residents: No provision of a marital property agreement, a unilateral statement under
section 766.59, or a court decree under section 766.70 adversely affects the interest of the creditor unless the
creditor, prior to the time the credit is granted, is furnished a copy of the agreement, statement or decree or
has actual knowledge of the adverse provision when the obligation to the creditor is incurred.
Zero Liability Policy: You are not liable for unauthorized use that is reported to us.
Unauthorized use means the use of a credit card by someone other than you who does not have actual, implied or
apparent authority for such use and from which you or any member of your family does not receive a direct or
indirect benefit. We will follow the requirements of the federal Truth in Lending Act and Nevada law to
determine if a charge is unauthorized.
Telephone Numbers: The numbers you provide in your account application will update your personal
profile used by the USAA companies. By providing the telephone numbers in your profile, you are giving USAA
permission to contact you at these phone numbers about USAA products. You may edit phone numbers in your profile
at any time by visiting usaa.com or by calling us.
Arbitration: The Credit Card Agreement has an arbitration clause which states that either you or we can
require that certain disputes must be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in a court by a judge or a
jury. The arbitration clause may substantially limit or affect your rights, including your right to go to
court, to have a trial by jury to conduct discovery, to appeal, and to participate in a class action or any
similar proceeding. If you are a Servicemember or a dependent covered by the protections of the Military Lending Act, the Arbitration provision does not apply to you.
- You may transfer balances totaling up to your transfer limit. Your transfer limit is equal to 95% of your
Credit Limit less any other balances (including pending transactions, interest and fees). We may refuse to
process a Balance Transfer if it would exceed your transfer limit. Balance Transfers cannot be made from
another USAA credit card account. Please allow up to 4 business days for Balance Transfers we can process
electronically.
- Please continue to make payments on the unpaid balance of each account according to the terms of the
agreement. We cannot close your other account(s) with other issuers, even if you transfer the entire
balance. Please contact the issuer of the account for information on how to close that account.
Important: If you transfer an amount related to a transaction you dispute, you may lose your rights
against the other creditor. Your dispute does not transfer to us.
- There is a transaction fee of 3% of the amount of each Balance Transfer and each Cash Advance
(including Convenience Checks). There is no grace period for Cash Advances or Balance
Transfers. At the end of any promotional period that applies, all unpaid balances receiving the promotional
APR will be moved from the promotional balance to your Regular Cash Advance APR balance.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT: To help the government fight the
funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to
obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for
you: When you 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.
