CITIBANK, N.A. CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT
This Credit Card Agreement is your contract with us. It governs the use of your card and account. Please
read this Agreement carefully. Keep it for your records.
Definitions
account means the relationship established between you and us by this Agreement.
APR means an annual percentage rate.
authorized user means any person you allow to use your account.
card means one or more cards or other access devices that we give you to get credit under this
Agreement. This includes account numbers.
we, us, and our mean Citibank, N.A., the issuer of your account. Citibank, N.A. is located in Sioux Falls,
SD.
you, your, and yours mean the person who applied to open the account. It also means any other person
responsible for complying with this Agreement.
Your Account
You agree to use your account in accordance with this Agreement. You must pay us for all amounts due
on your account. This Agreement is binding on you unless you close your account within 30 days after
receiving the card and you have not used or authorized use of the card. Your account must only be used
to purchase goods and services for personal, family and household use. Your account must only be used
for lawful transactions.
Authorized Users. You may request additional cards for authorized users. You must pay us for all
charges made by authorized users. You must pay us even if you did not intend to be responsible for
those charges. You must notify us to withdraw any permission you give to an authorized user to use your
account.
Joint Accounts. If this is a joint account, each of you is responsible individually and together for all
amounts owed. Each of you is responsible even if the account is used by only one of you. You will
continue to be liable for the entire balance of the account, even if your co-applicant is ordered by a court
to pay us. You will remain liable to us if your co-applicant fails to pay as ordered by the court. Your
account status will continue to be reported to the credit bureau under each of your names. The delivery of
notices or billing statements to either of you serves as delivery to each of you. We may rely on
instructions given by either of you. We are not liable to either of you for relying upon such instructions.
Credit Limit. Your initial credit limit is on the card carrier. After that, your credit limit appears on your
billing statement. The full amount of your credit limit is available to use where the card is honored. We
may reduce or increase your credit limit at any time for any reason as permitted by law. We will notify you
of any change, but the change may take effect before you receive the notice. You should always keep
your total balance below the credit limit. However, if the total balance goes over your credit limit you still
must pay us. If your account has a credit balance, we may reduce the credit balance by any new charges
on your account. You may not maintain a credit balance in excess of your credit limit.
Billing Statement. Your billing statement shows the New Balance. This is the total amount you owe us
on the Statement Closing Date. To determine the New Balance, we begin with the total balance at the
start of the billing cycle. We add any purchases.
We subtract any credits or payments. We then add any interest charges or fees and make other
adjustments. Your billing statement also shows your transactions; the Minimum Payment Due and
payment due date; your credit limit; and your interest charges and fees.
We deliver a billing statement to only one address. You must notify Customer Service of a change in
address. We may stop sending you statements if we deem your account uncollectible or start collection
proceedings; but we may continue to add interest and fees as permitted by law.
APRs
Variable APRs Based on Prime. If any APR is based on the U.S. Prime Rate ("Prime Rate"), the APR
will equal the Prime Rate plus an additional amount. If the Prime Rate increases, it will cause the APR to
increase. If the Prime Rate decreases, it will cause the APR to decrease. For each billing cycle we use
the Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal two business days before the Statement Closing
Date. If the Prime Rate causes an APR to change, we put the new APR into effect as of the first day of
the billing cycle for which we calculate the APR. We apply the new APR to any existing balances, subject
to any promotional rate that may apply. If The Wall Street Journal does not publish the Prime Rate, we
will use a similar published rate.
APR for Regular Purchases. There is a variable regular purchase APR. It equals the Prime Rate plus
23.49%. As of August 1, 2023, this Annual Percentage Rate is 31.99%. This APR equals a daily periodic
rate of 0.08764%.
Effect of APR Increases. If an APR increases, interest charges increase. Your minimum payment may
increase as well.
Promotions
We may offer promotional terms for all or a part of any balances. Any promotional terms may apply for a
limited period of time. They will be governed by the terms of the promotional offer and this Agreement.
They may include the Special Event and Club Plan offers described below. We may offer other
promotional offers from time to time. Your promotional terms will end when the promotional period
expires.
Special Event offers. If a promotional offer is a Special Event offer, interest is deferred, which means no
interest charges will be imposed on the Special Event balance if you pay the balance in full by the end of
the promotional period for that Special Event balance. We will impose interest charges on the Special
Event balance at the APR for regular purchases from the date of purchase if you do not pay the balance
in full by the end of the promotional period.
Club Plan offers. If a promotional offer is a Club Plan offer, no interest charges will be imposed on the
Club Plan balance.
Interest Charges. We impose interest charges when we apply APRs to your account balances. We do
this every day by using a daily periodic rate. To get a daily periodic rate, we divide the APR by 365.
When Interest Charges Begin. We begin to impose interest charges the first day we add a charge to a
daily balance. The charges we add to a daily balance include purchases. They also include interest
charges and fees. We continue to impose interest charges until we credit your account with full payment
of the total amount you owe us. This method of assessing interest charges described in this section may
result in a billing statement with only an interest charge.
Grace Period on Purchases. You can avoid interest charges on purchases, but not on excluded
promotional balances. This is called a grace period on purchases. The grace period is at least 25 days.
To get a grace period on purchases, you must pay the New Balance by the payment due date every
billing cycle. If you do not, you will not get a grace period until you pay the New Balance for two billing
cycles in a row.
If you have a balance subject to a Special Event promotion and that promotion does not expire before the
payment due date, that balance (an “excluded promotional balance”) is excluded from the amount you
must pay in full to get a grace period on a purchase balance. In addition, if you have a Club Plan balance,
that balance (an “excluded promotional balance”) is excluded from the amount you must pay in full to get
a grace period on a purchase balance. However, you must still pay any separately required payment on
the excluded promotional balance. In billing cycles in which payments are allocated to Special Event
balances first, the Special Event balance will be reduced before any other balance on the account.
However, you will continue to get a grace period on purchases so long as you pay the New Balance (less
any excluded promotional balance, plus any separately required payment on an excluded promotional
balance) in full by the payment due date each billing cycle.
Other promotional offers not described above may also allow you to have a grace period on purchases
without having to pay all or a portion of the promotional balance by the payment due date. If either is the
case, the promotional offer will describe what happens.
Minimum Interest Charge. If we charge you interest, the charge will be no less than $2. We add the
charge to the regular purchase balance or allocate it among one or more of the balances that accrues
interest.
Balance Subject to Interest Rate. Your statement shows a Balance Subject to Interest Rate. It shows
this for each different balance. The Balance Subject to Interest Rate is the average of the daily balances
during the billing cycle. A billing cycle begins on the day after the Statement Closing Date of the previous
billing cycle. It includes the Statement Closing Date of the current billing cycle.
Fees
Late Fee. We may add a late fee for each billing cycle in which you have a past due payment. For late
fee purposes, you have a past due payment any time you fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by the
payment due date. The fee will be $30; or $41 for any additional past due payment during the next six
billing cycles after a past due payment. However, the fee will not exceed the amount permitted by law.
We add this fee to the regular purchase balance.
Returned Payment Fee. We may add a returned payment fee for a returned payment. A returned
payment is an electronic debit, payment check, or similar payment instrument, that is returned unpaid. We
may add this fee the first time your payment is returned, even if it is not returned upon resubmission. The
fee will be $30; or $41 for any additional returned payment during the next six billing cycles after a
returned payment. However, the fee will not exceed the amount permitted by law. We add this fee to the
regular purchase balance.
Payments
Making Payments. You may pay all or part of your account balance at any time. However, you must
pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the payment due date each billing cycle. The sooner you pay
the New Balance, the less you will pay in interest charges.
We calculate the Minimum Payment Due as follows. We begin with any past due amount. We add the
amount due on each Club Plan balance. We add any amount required by the Promotion Calculation. We
also add the largest of the following:
• The Calculated New Balance if it is less than $30;
• $30 if the Calculated New Balance is at least $30; or
• 1% of the Calculated New Balance (the result is rounded up to the nearest dollar) plus the amount of
your billed interest charges on that balance, any minimum interest charge allocated to that balance,
and any applicable late fee. However, we subtract interest charges that accrued during prior billing
cycles on a Special Event balance that ended during the billing cycle covered by the statement.
The Calculated New Balance equals the New Balance on the billing statement less any balances subject
to a Club Plan or the Promotion Calculation.
If you have a Special Event balance subject to the Promotion Calculation, the Promotion Calculation will
equal 1% of this balance during the promotion period. (The result is rounded up to the next nearest cent.)
After the promotion period, any remaining Special Event balance will be included in the Calculated New
Balance. The Promotion Calculation will apply if, based on the amount of the Special Event transaction as
shown on the first statement that displays the transaction and the dollar amount in the Minimum Payment
Due calculation in effect at the time of the transaction, we determined that paying such dollar amount
each billing cycle would result in repayment of the Special Event balance before the end of the promotion
period.
The Minimum Payment Due may reflect adjustments to the New Balance. The Minimum Payment Due is
never more than the Calculated New Balance plus the Promotion Calculation plus the amount due on a
Club Plan balance.
Application of Payments. Payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due are applied in
accordance with law. This means that we will generally apply payments in excess of the Minimum
Payment Due to higher APR balances first. However, excess payments received before a Special Event
promotion expires are applied to the Special Event promotional balance first in the last two billing cycles
of the promotional period. And, if the expiration date of a Special Event promotion is before the payment
due date in the billing cycle in which the Special Event promotion expires, excess payments received
before the Special Event promotion expires are applied to the Special Event promotional balance first in
the last three billing cycles of the promotional period. Payments equal to or less than the Minimum
Payment Due and credits are applied at our discretion and you authorize us to apply payments and
credits in a way that is most favorable or convenient for us. This may include applying such payments and
credits to lower APR balances first and to balances with longer promotional periods first.
Payment Instructions. We credit your payments in accordance with our payment instructions on the
billing statement. You must pay us in U.S. dollars. To do so, you must use a check, similar instrument, or
electronic debit that is drawn on and honored by a bank in the U.S. Do not send cash. We can accept late
or partial payments, or payments that reflect "paid in full" or other restrictive endorsements, without losing
our rights. We also reserve the right to accept payments made in foreign currency and instruments drawn
on funds on deposit outside the U.S. If we do, we select the currency conversion rate. We will then credit
your account in U.S. dollars after deducting any costs incurred in processing your payment. Or we may
bill you separately for these costs.
Credit Reporting
We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or
other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. We may report account information
in your name and the names of authorized users. We may also obtain follow-up credit reports on you.
If you think we reported incorrect information to a credit bureau, write us at the address shown on the
back of your billing statement in the section titled "Disputed Accuracy of Credit Report". We will
investigate the matter. We will then tell you if we agree or disagree with you. If we agree with you, we will
contact each credit bureau to which we reported and request a correction. If we disagree with you, we will
tell you that.
Information Sharing
You authorize us to share information about you as permitted by law. This includes information we get
from you and others. It also includes information about your transactions with us. Please see our Privacy
Notice for details about our information sharing practices. The identifying information you provided in your
credit application (including name, address, telephone number, email address and social security
number) as well as any updates to that information is provided to us, Macy’s, Inc. and their affiliates.
We may change the rates, fees, and terms of this Agreement from time to time as permitted by
law. The changes may add, replace, or remove provisions of this Agreement. We will give you
advance written notice of the changes and a right to opt out to the extent required by law.
Default
You default under this Agreement if you fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by its due date; go over
your credit limit; pay by a check or similar instrument that is not honored or that we must return because it
cannot be processed; pay by electronic debit that is returned unpaid; file for bankruptcy; or fail to comply
with the terms of this Agreement. If you default, we may close your account and, to the extent permitted
by law, demand immediate payment of the total balance.
Refusal of the Card. We do not guarantee approval of transactions. We are not liable for transactions
that are not approved. That is true even if you have enough credit. We may limit the number of
transactions approved in one day. If we detect unusual or suspicious activity, we may suspend your credit
privileges.
Preauthorized Charges. We may suspend any automatic or other preauthorized card charges you
arrange with a third party. We may do this if you default; if the card is lost or stolen; or we change your
account for any reason. If we do this, you are responsible for paying the third party directly if you wish to
do so. You are also responsible for reinstating the preauthorized charges if you wish to do so and we
permit it.
Lost or Stolen Cards or Account Numbers. You must call us if any card, account number, or check is
lost or stolen. You must also call us if you think someone used or may use them without permission.
When you call, we may require you to provide information to help our investigation. We may require you
to provide this information in writing. For example, we may ask you to identify any charges that were not
made by you or someone authorized by you. We may also ask you to confirm that you received no benefit
from those charges.
Closing Your Account. You may close your account by notifying us in writing or over the phone. If you
close your account, you must still repay the total balance in accordance with this Agreement. We may
also close your account or suspend account privileges at any time for any reason. We may do this without
prior notice to you. We may also reissue a different card at any time. You must return any card to us upon
request.
Protections for Active Duty Service Members and their Dependents
Protections. Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their
dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a
member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36
percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: The costs associated
with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction;
any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions or
accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card
account). You are entitled to these protections if you are a Covered Borrower, as defined below.
Covered Borrower. You are a Covered Borrower if, in connection with the opening of your account, we
determine you are an active duty member of the Armed Forces (including active Guard and Reserve duty)
or a dependent of an active duty member. You will cease to be a Covered Borrower if we determine you
are no longer an active duty member of the Armed Forces (including active Guard and Reserve duty) or a
dependent of an active duty member.
Oral Disclosures. If you are a Covered Borrower, you may obtain information related to your account,
including information about these protections and your payment obligation, by calling 1-877-625-6379.

against us. If you assert a Claim against us, we can choose to arbitrate, including actions to collect a
debt from you. You may arbitrate on an individual basis Claims brought against you, including Claims
to collect a debt.

remaining amount due on the purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing

pay, we may report you as delinquent.
