The non-promo APR for the Platinum Advantage Points and the Platinum Fixed Rate, is as low as 15.00% and 8.90% respectively. Failure to make the minimum periodic payment within 60 days from the due date during any card promotion, the non-promotional APR in effect on that account will be applied to the remaining promotional balance. If account is delinquent or over-limit at time of transfer, the promotional rate will not apply. Loans held with Advia are ineligible for this promotion. Rates as of 1/1/2025.

Estimated monthly payment for a $10,000 HELOC during the introductory period for the following APR: 5.99% = $49.92 (interest only). Following the promotional period of 18 months, the APR will revert to a variable rate, which is 7.25% APR as of 11/12/2024, which may change quarterly based on an index of Prime Rate as stated in the Wall Street Journal as of the last business day of each quarter. A quarter is defined as a calendar quarter beginning January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Your APR is equal to as low as the Prime index + or - a margin. An increase in the index will result in an increase to your APR (includes a lifetime interest rate cap of 8% over initial non-promotional loan rate).
