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.

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 4% Transfer Fee.
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: Purchase APR: Prime plus 11.49%, 17.74% or 21.49%; Transfer APR: Prime plus 11.49%, 17.74% or 21.49%; Cash Advance APR: Prime plus 21.49%. 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.
What Are The Daily Periodic Rates Used To Calculate My Interest?
The daily periodic rate for your Purchase APR is 0.05477%, 0.07189% or 0.08216%, Transfer APR is 0.05477%, 0.07189% or 0.08216%, and Cash Advance APR is 0.08216%. See “How Do You Calculate The Interest Charge?” section in the below 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 2 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 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.
How does my spend bonus work?
You will earn 75,000 bonus miles if you spend at least $4,000 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 cardmembers are not eligible for this product if they have received a new cardmember bonus for this product in the past 48 months.
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 may 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 redeem my rewards for travel?
You have two ways to redeem your miles for travel:
1) Redeem for past travel purchases
Simply book your travel through your preferred travel website, travel agent, or other travel resource using your Capital One Rewards card. Then, sign in to your account at capitalone.com, go to Rewards and select Cover Your Travel Purchases or call our Rewards Center to redeem your miles and receive an account credit for the cost of your travel purchase.
These 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, but may take up to 60 days after the redemption. Redemptions for a portion of a purchase amount (partial redemptions) are available.
2) Book new travel reservations
Go online to travel.capitalone.com 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 Cover your Previous Travel Purchases?
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 can change in the sole discretion of Capital One. 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 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.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter.
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
- 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.
- 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.

- 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
- 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.
