5 We include Transaction Fees when computing finance charges. Incurring Fees results in an APR exceeding 0% for the billing statement on which those fees appear. The Daily Periodic Rate (DPR) will remain 0% as disclosed.

Balance Transfers T&C for Bank of America Platinum Plus MasterCard
(Balance transfer helpline: 1.800.726.8601)

The promotional Annual Percentage Rate (APR) Offer for this Balance Transfer is 0% through your statement Closing Date in 2010. Your promotional offer may end sooner. If you pay late or exceed your credit limit, then as of the first day of the billing cycle in which that occurs, the promotional offer will end. When this Offer ends, the APR for this promotional balance will increase to the then prevailing non-promotional variable rate for Balance Transfers; as of 12/31/2008 the APR is 7.24% . In addition, we may increase the APRs on your account up to the Default Rate without giving you notice. The Default Rate could be as high as 29.99%. There is no fee for this Balance Transfer.

Balance Transfers and Direct Deposits are subject to account status, delinquency, and credit availability. Also, we may decline a Balance Transfer or Direct Deposit request if we determine that you no longer meet our credit standards. If we decline a request because you no longer meet our credit standards, we will try to contact you first but we may reject the request and notify you later. Borrowing the full amount of your available credit may result in an overlimit fee, as applicable. You may not use a Balance Transfer to make a payment on this or any other credit account issued by FIA Card Services, N.A. APRs are subject to change in accordance with the terms of your Credit Card Agreement. We will allocate your payments to balances (including new transactions) with lower Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) before balances with higher APRs.

12.24% for Preferred accounts. The Introductory APR will end sooner if your payment is late or the account balance
is over the credit limit. See and below for explanation.
Cash Advances: Standard Variable APR is 19.24% for all Direct Deposits, Check Cash Advances, ATM Cash
Advances, Bank Cash Advances, Overdraft Protection and Cash Equivalent transactions. See below for explanation.
Default APR: Up to 29.99% for all Purchase, Balance Transfer, and Cash Advance balances if late or overlimit. This

Variable-Rate Information

Rate. The margin for the Standard APR for Purchases and Balance Transfers is 3.99% for Platinum Plus or 6.99%
Gold , or 8.99% for Preferred accounts. The margin for the Standard APR for Cash Advances is 15.99%. See below

(minimum $10). See below for explanation.

Foreign Transactions
Transaction fee for any transaction made in a foreign currency and, as of June 1, 2009, any transaction made in U.S.

If your account has balances with different APRs, payments are applied to the balance with the lowest APR before
any payments are applied to balances with higher APRs. This means that balances with higher APRs are not
reduced until balances with lower APRs have been paid off.
The Introductory APR(s) is effective upon the opening of your account and does not apply to Cash Advances, other than Check Cash Advances and Direct Deposits. When the Introductory APR(s) ends, the Standard (non-introductory) Variable APR is calculated using the Variable-Rate Information and is applied to new and outstanding balances (consisting of Purchases and/or Balance Transfers, as applicable). If your payment is late or the account balance is over the credit limit, the
Standard Variable APR will be applied to those balances as of the first day of the billing cycle in which the payment was late
or the balance exceeded the credit limit. We reserve the right to change the APRs in our discretion including, for example,the margins.
When your minimum payment is either late (i.e., not received by 5 p.m., ET, on its Payment Due Date), or the account balance is over the credit limit, on any two occasions within 12 consecutive months, we may increase each of your account Standard Variable APRs up to the Default APR. The Default APR will be applied to all new and outstanding balances with Variable APRs then below the Default APR. If a Default APR is applied to your account, then all APRs, including APRs then at or above the Default APR, will no longer vary.
The U.S. Prime Rate used to determine your APRs for each billing cycle is the highest rate appearing in The Wall Street
Journal on the last publication date of the calendar month that ends within that billing cycle. On December 31, 2008, the U.S. Prime Rate was 3.25%.
The number of days between your statement Closing Date and your Payment Due Date (the grace period) may vary from one billing cycle to another.
We include Transaction Fees when computing finance charges. Incurring Fees results in an APR exceeding 0% for the
billing statement on which those fees appear. The Daily Periodic Rate (DPR) will remain 0% as disclosed.
Check Cash Advances and Direct Deposits that post to your account after this promotional offer ends will be Cash
Advances with a 19.24% Standard Variable APR.
Cash Equivalent transactions are defined as money orders, foreign currency, and travelers checks from a non-financial institution, person to person money transfers, bets, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips and bail bonds.

If experiencing difficulty with regular CSRs with reallocation for BT purposes, try contacting the BT dept directly: 866-229-8607.

What does that mean? Are there any BT fees or not?
The Terms pretty clearly say "None" for balance transfers. What you quoted is just saying that any fees are included when calculating the APR shown on the monthly statement - its their standard clause on all applications, to explain why people have a 0% rate but see a 1.22% APR on their statement. But since there is no BT fee, it is irrelevant info for that particular application.


alert mods    

That just means they consider transaction fees as finance charges.


alert mods    

yup, its zero alright. got it a few weeks back in an AOR.

Also, in the future, will not put an actual link into posts like this so CC companies can't track the traffic. Copy/paste address into the browser is probably the best method going forward.
