How We Calculate Your Balance: We use the Average Daily Balance (ADB) method (including new transactions) to calculate the balance on which we charge interest on your Account. Call the Customer Care number listed below for more information about this balance computation method and how resulting interest charges are determined. The method we use to figure the ADB and interest results in daily compounding of interest. Paying Interest: Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing period. We will not charge you interest on your purchases if you pay the New Balance by the due date each month. We will charge you interest on cash advances and (unless otherwise disclosed) balance transfers beginning on the transaction date. Foreign Currency Charges: if you make a Charge in a foreign currency, we will convert it into US dollars on the date we or our agents process it. We will choose a conversion rate that is acceptable to us for that date, unless a particular rate is required by law. The conversion rate we use is no more than the highest official rate published by a government agency or the highest interbank rate we identify from customary banking sources on the conversion date or the prior business day. This rate may differ from rates in effect on the date of your charge. Charges converted by establishments (such as airlines) will be billed at the rates such establishments use. Credit Balance: A credit balance (designated CR) shown on this statement represents money owed to you. If within the six-month period following the date of the first statement indicating the credit balance you do not request a refund or charge enough to use up the credit balance, we will sen you a check for the credit balance within 30 days if the amount is $1.00 or more. . 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. f . c Customer Care & Billing Inquiries 1-800-430-1000 Hearing Impaired | i] ; international Collect 1-336-393-1111 | TTY: 1-800-221-9950 Website: americanexpress.com | Large Print & Braille Statements 1-800-430-1000 FAX: 1-800-695-9090 | Cash Advance at ATMs Inquiries 1-800-CASH-NOW In NY: 1-800-522-1897 Customer Care | & Billing Inquiries Payments | | P.O.
