Ameriprise® Visa Signature® Card Terms and Conditions
We may change APRs, fees, and other Account terms in the future based on your experience with Elan Financial Services and its affiliates as provided under the Cardmember Agreement and applicable law.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the United States fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each customer that opens an account. 

What this means for you: When you open an account with us, we will ask for your and/or your business’s legal name, address, date of birth, tax identification number, and other identifying information that will assist us with identifying you and/or your business. We may also ask to see your photo identification (driver’s license) or other identifying documents. For businesses, we may ask for copies of certified articles of incorporation, an unexpired government-issued business license, a partnership agreement, or other documents that indicate the existence and standing of the entity. 

We apply your minimum payment to balances with lower APRs first, including promotional APRs. Amounts paid over the minimum payment will be applied in the order of highest to lowest APR balances.

How Variable Interest Rates Are Determined: After the introductory period, your interest rate is a variable rate and is determined by a combination of the Prime Rate (which may vary) added to a margin (which does not change). Because the Prime Rate may vary, your variable interest rate will go up or down if the Prime Rate changes. If you are granted an Account, the following rates on the Account are variable: Non-Introductory Purchase Rate; Non-Introductory Balance Transfer Rate; Cash Advance Rate. More information is available in the Cardmember Agreement.
Notice to New York Residents: You may contact the New York State Department of Financial Services by telephone at (800) 342-3736 or visit its website at www.dfs.ny.gov for free information on comparative credit card rates, fees and interest-free periods.
California law requires that we let you know:  Married applicants may apply for separate accounts in their own names.
Notice to Married Wisconsin Residents: No provision of any marital property agreement, unilateral statement under section 766.59 of the Wisconsin statutes or court decree under section 766.70, adversely affects our interest unless we, prior to the time the credit is granted or an open-end credit plan is entered into, are furnished a copy of the agreement, decree or court order, or have actual knowledge of the adverse provision. IF YOU ARE A MARRIED WISCONSIN RESIDENT, CREDIT EXTENDED UNDER THIS ACCOUNT WILL BE INCURRED IN THE INTEREST OF YOUR MARRIAGE OR FAMILY.
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.

If we open an Account based on this Application, you will be individually liable (or, for joint Accounts, individually and jointly liable) for all authorized charges and for all fees referred to in the most recent Cardmember Agreement, which may be amended from time to time. We may request consumer credit reports about you for evaluating this Application and in the future for reviewing Account credit limits, for Account renewal, for servicing and collection purposes and for other legitimate purposes associated with your Account. Upon your request, we will inform you if a consumer report was requested and, if it was, provide you with the name and address of the consumer reporting agency that furnished the report.  By providing us with a telephone number for a cellular phone or other wireless device, including a number that you later convert to a cellular number, you are expressly consenting to receiving communications—including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system—from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls for non-marketing purposes. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider.  By submitting this application, you also agree that we may verify your employment, income, address and all other information provided with other creditors, credit reporting agencies, employers, third parties and through records maintained by federal and state agencies (including state motor vehicle departments) and waive any rights of confidentiality you may have in that information under applicable law.

(a) Rewards Points. From the date you open your Account until your Account is closed, you will receive 1 Reward Point ("Point") for each $1 dollar of Net Purchases charged to your Account during each billing cycle that the Account is open and current (that is, no Minimum Payment is past due) on the closing date for the billing cycle. The number of Points that may accumulate in any monthly billing cycle is unlimited. Net Purchases for a statement period are determined by totaling all new Purchases charged to the Account during the billing cycle, then subtracting credits posted to the Account during the billing cycle for returned Purchases and/or adjustments.

Points that are earned through use of the Account but not redeemed will expire and be forfeited five (5) years from the date the earned Points post to your Rewards Account. Points will be redeemed and expired on a first-in, first-out basis. If at any time you no longer have a Credit Card associated with the Rewards Account, your Points will be forfeited. Please see your Rewards Program Rules for additional information.

If credits during a statement period exceed Purchases, the credit balance will be carried over to the following billing cycles and offset against future Purchases charged to the Account for purposes of awarding Points. We may round Net Purchases up if $0.50 or higher or down if $0.49 or lower to a whole dollar amount for purposes of awarding Points. Points will not be awarded for any billing cycle if your Account is closed or is not current on the closing date for that billing cycle. Points are not earned for Advances (including wire transfers, traveler's checks, money orders, foreign cash transactions, betting transactions, lottery tickets and ATM disbursements), Convenience Checks, Balance Transfers, INTEREST CHARGES and Fees, credit insurance charges, transactions to fund certain prepaid card products, U.S. Mint purchases or transactions to purchase cash convertible items. We may reverse Points that were awarded for unauthorized Purchases.

Points are non-transferable and have no cash value. Please allow up to 60 days after a Purchase for Points on that Purchase to post to your Points balance.

Your Account must be open and current to earn and redeem Points for rewards and benefits. You may not redeem Points, and you will immediately lose all of your Points, if your Account is closed to future transactions (including, but not limited to, due to Program misuse, failure to pay, bankruptcy, or death).

You may not use your Account (including but not limited to the use of convenience checks and cash advances drawn on your credit card account) to purchase investments or securities. Ameriprise reserves the right to cancel your Account if at any time we believe you have violated this requirement.

(b) Rewards Program Rules. Complete terms and conditions for the Rewards Program (the Program), including rules regarding the redemption, expiration, loss or cancellation of Points, award thresholds, eligibility, participation, and the right to amend or terminate the Program, are set forth in Ameriprise's Rewards Program Rules (the "Program Rules"). The Program Rules will exclusively govern the terms of the Program and, with respect to the Program, to the extent the Program Rules conflict with the terms of this Cardmember Agreement or any other materials, the Program Rules will control. With the exception of credit card statement credits, we are not responsible for redemption of the Points in your Rewards Account or for arranging or providing for any goods or services related to the use of Points, for any delay, failure, or refusal by Ameriprise Bank, FSB (“Ameriprise”) to award or redeem Points, or for any decision by Ameriprise to revoke or cancel Points or participation in the Program. Please review the Program Rules at ameriprise.com/rewards.

(c) Ameriprise is not a party to this Agreement and has no authority regarding the Account, including with respect to any extension of credit on the Account. We are solely responsible for all credit extended on the Account. Ameriprise is not a creditor or owner of the Account. You authorize us to share information about you and your Account with Ameriprise.

(d) Elan and/or Ameriprise reserve the right to amend or cancel the Program or change the Program benefits at any time with or without notice to you.
