How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called "average daily balance (including new purchases)".
How We Will Calculate Your Variable APRs:
Unless an introductory or promotional APR is in effect, we will add a Margin to the U.S. Prime Rate to determine your standard variable APR. For
each billing period we will use the U.S. Prime Rate, or the average of the U.S. Prime Rates if there is more than one, published in the Money Rates
column of The Wall Street Journal three business days prior to your billing statement closing date. If the U.S. Prime Rate is not published or is
otherwise unavailable, whether temporarily or permanently, we will select a substitute index that we believe, in our sole discretion, to be similar to the
U.S. Prime Rate. Currently, the U.S. Prime Rate is 3.25 percentage points.
The "Margin" for purchases and balance transfers will be 7.90 to 17.90 percentage points, based on your creditworthiness.
The "Margin" for cash advances and overdraft protection advances will be 20.74 percentage points.
Wells Fargo reserves the right to change terms, rates (APRs) and fees, at its discretion in accordance with the Consumer Credit Card Customer Agreement
and Disclosures Statement ("Agreement") for your account and applicable law.
You may not qualify for the lowest APRs disclosed above. The APRs applicable to your account will be determined by our review of your
credit report, information you provide on your application, and other relevant information available to us.

Application of Payments: Generally, we will apply your minimum payment first to lower APR balances (such as Purchases) before balances with higher
APRs (such as Cash Advances). Payments made in excess of the minimum payment will generally be applied to balances with higher APRs first before
balances with lower ones.
Overdraft Protection: If you choose to link your Account to your checking account for overdraft protection, please note the following. If you have a joint
checking account, you will be responsible for all advances, including interest and charges, from your credit card to cover overdrafts regardless of who writes
the check, makes a debit card purchase, or engages in any other transaction that causes the overdraft. An overdraft fee will be charged each day an
Overdraft Protection Advance is made and interest will accrue from the date each advance is made. See Consumer Credit Card Customer Agreement and
Disclosure Statement for details. Please note that you may also be able to link your checking account to your savings account for overdraft protection. No
interest is charged on overdraft protection transfers from your savings account. However, fees do apply. See your savings account Consumer Account Fee
and Information Schedule for details.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering activities, U.S. Federal law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person (individual or
business) who opens an account. What this means for you: when you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other

Notice to Ohio Residents:
The Ohio laws against discrimination require that all creditors make credit equally available to all creditworthy customers, and that credit reporting agencies
maintain separate credit histories on each individual upon request. The Ohio Civil Rights Commission administers compliance with this law.
Notice to Married Wisconsin Residents:
If you are married, by submitting your credit card application you are confirming that this credit card obligation is being incurred in the interest of your
marriage and your family. No provision of any marital property agreement (pre-marital agreement), unilateral statement under 766.59 of the Wisconsin
Statutes, or a court decree under 766.70 adversely affects the interest of the creditor unless the creditor, prior to the time the credit is granted, is furnished
a copy of the agreement, statement or decrees or has actual knowledge of the adverse provision. If the credit card for which you are applying is granted,
you will notify the Bank if you have a spouse who needs to receive notification that credit has been extended to you.

legal capacity to enter into this contract. The Bank is authorized to verify or check any of the information given, to obtain credit reports on you and to make
Overdraft Protection advances if you requested that feature. You authorize the Bank to obtain information from others to investigate your credit, employment
and income history and state records including state employment security agency records and to report information regarding your account to consumer
reporting agencies. You agree that the Bank will determine the amount of credit extended, as well as which product you qualify for, based on the Bank's
review criteria. If you do not qualify for the product or pricing requested or for the lowest pricing offered, you authorize the Bank to grant you the product and
pricing for which you do qualify. You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreement, which will be sent to you, and understand
that the terms of your account may be changed at any time, subject to applicable law. You hereby stipulate to the terms of the arbitration program
described in the Agreement. You understand and agree that you will be liable for payment of all amounts owing on the account. You understand and agree
that each person applying will have full and equal access to any credit line extended and each will be individually and jointly liable for payment of all
amounts owed even if only one applicant uses the account.
A consumer report from consumer reporting agencies will be obtained in considering this application and for the purposes of any update, renewal, extension
of credit, review or collection of the account. Upon request, we will inform you of the name and address of each consumer reporting agency from which we
obtain a consumer report relating to you. If you are a married applicant you may apply for credit in your own name.
Important Notice: Please call to confirm receipt of your new card as soon as you receive it. If you do not do so, your requests for certain services such as
balance transfers, Overdraft Protection, Wells Fargo Online banking and ATM access may be delayed and you may be denied access to your account.
This information about the cost of the credit card account described in this disclosure is accurate as of February 2014. This information may have changed
after that date. To find out what may have changed, call 1-800-642-4720.
Important 3% Cash Reward Notice:
Cardholders will earn a one percent (1%) cash reward for every $1 spent in net purchases (purchases minus returns/credits) made on the Credit Card
account, rounded to the nearest one cent. During the first 6 months from the date the account is opened, for purchases made at retailers whose merchant
code for Visa is classified in one of the following categories: grocery stores, drugstores and gas stations, Cardholders will earn an additional two percent

Negative cash rewards will post within 1-2 billing periods on Your account statement if returns or credits exceed purchases. Certain purchases/transactions
do not earn cash rewards. Please see the accompanying Wells Fargo Cash Back Program for Credit Card Summary of Terms and Conditions for details.
