Promotional offers for Balance Transfers do not apply to your card purchases. In addition, if you make purchases while carrying a promotional-rate cash balance, you'll immediately incur interest on those purchases, unless you have a 0% rate on purchases or you pay either the entire Interest Saving Balance (if applicable) or Statement Balance each month.

We will first allocate the amount of your payment equal to the Total Minimum Payment Due to any Custom Pay Plan Payment due (if applicable), then to the lowest APR balances in turn. Payment amounts in excess of your Total Minimum Payment Due will be applied to balances with higher APRs before balances with lower APRs and, finally, to any applicable Custom Pay Plan balances.
