cycle at the following types of retail establishments (based on retail merchant
categories as defined by Visa USA): gasoline service stations, carwashes,
bridge and road fees and tolls, and MINI dealerships. We will not be

that do not accurately report transactions using the appropriate retail
merchant categories as defined by Visa USA. You will also earn 1 point for each
dollar of other Net Purchases charged to your Account during each billing
cycle. Net Purchases for a statement period are determined by totaling all new
Purchases (as defined in your Cardholder Agreement) that are charged to the
Account during the billing cycle, excluding the amounts specified in section 16
below, and then subtracting returns posted to the Account during the billing
cycle. We may round Net Purchases up or down to a whole dollar amount for
purposes of awarding Points.

for Account fees or charges of any kind, including, without limitation, Finance
Charges, Late Fees, Returned Payment Fees, Overlimit Fees, and Administrative
Fees. Points will not be awarded for any billing cycle if your Account is

are otherwise in violation of your Cardholder Agreement or these Terms and
Conditions.
17. We may withdraw any Points that were awarded for unauthorized Purchases, or
other transactions that are not eligible under the Program, and we reserve the
right to withdraw Points and/or cancel any benefits or Rewards if we reasonably
believe that a Purchase was fraudulent, illegal, or otherwise not a bona fide
purchase of goods or services delivered or performed by a merchant and not
returned by you. We may decide in our sole discretion which transactions
qualify for Points, now and in the future. If your Account is terminated (by
you or us) for any reason, any otherwise redeemable Points accumulated by you
will be forfeited at the time of Account termination. In addition, all your
Points will be forfeited if your Account becomes 3 payments past due.

services which are similar in nature or equal in value. You may only redeem
Points for Rewards if your Account is open and current under the terms of your
Agreement. Points are not transferable, are not redeemable for cash, and cannot

after postings and redemptions. Notwithstanding the above, all redemptions are
final.
