* Credit Lines opened through Upgrade feature APRs of 8.99% - 29.99% and line amounts ranging $500 - $50,000. The lowest rates require Autopay and the majority of the line amounts will be $25,000 or under. For example, a $5,000 transaction with a 36 month term and a 19.99% APR has a required monthly payment of $187.90. The APR on your draw may be higher or lower. Your rate, line amount, and default term depend on maintaining a qualifying credit score, your credit usage history, requested amount, and other factors.

** The Upgrade Card cannot be used at an ATM.

1 Earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on all purchases when you pay them back. Your cash back will typically be applied to your balance after your next scheduled monthly payment. Cash back rewards applied to your balance will not satisfy or reduce your regular monthly payments. Payments on non-purchase transactions, such as sending funds electronically to your bank account, are not eligible to earn rewards. Certain limitations apply. Please refer to your Cardholder Agreement for more information. Rewards associated with the Upgrade Card, when applicable, are provided by Upgrade, Inc.

2 Cash back rewards are earned when you pay eligible purchases back. Your cash back will typically be applied to your balance after your next scheduled monthly payment. Purchases in Home, Auto, and Health categories earn 3% cash back when you pay them back; all other purchases earn 1% with no maximum. Merchants are assigned a merchant category code (MCC) based on the kinds of products and services they primarily sell. We group similar MCCs into categories for purposes of making rewards available to you, but we do not assign MCCs. Merchants set their own MCC, therefore purchases may not fall into the category where you might expect them to appear. For more information on merchant categories, please click here. Cash back rewards applied to your balance will not satisfy or reduce your regular monthly payments. Payments on non-purchase transactions, such as sending funds electronically to your bank account, are not eligible to earn rewards. Some limitations apply. Please refer to your Cardholder Agreement for more information. Rewards associated with the Upgrade Card, when applicable, are provided by Upgrade, Inc.

3 Earn unlimited 1.5% back in bitcoin rewards when you make payments on your purchases. Payments on non-purchase transactions, such as sending funds electronically to your bank account, are not eligible to earn rewards. Your bitcoin will be purchased within 1-2 statement periods from the date your payment is received. The value of the bitcoin purchase will be based on the reference rate at the time of the bitcoin purchase. Your bitcoin cannot be transferred to a separate wallet. You will be subject to an initial 90-day holding period after the first bitcoin purchase on your account, during which time your bitcoin cannot be sold. Sales of bitcoin are subject to a 1.5% transaction fee which will be deducted from your sale proceeds. Sale proceeds are redeemable only in the form of statement credit. Additional limitations apply. Please refer to the Program Terms and Conditions and your Cardholder Agreement for more information.

† Not all traditional credit cards charge fees. However, creditcards.com's 2020 Credit Card Fee Survey found that the average number of fees per card is 4.5. For example, the 2019 U.S. News Consumer Credit Card Fee Study found that the average annual fee (including cards with no annual fee) is $35.23, the average late fee is $36.34 and the average returned payment fee is $34. 01. The Upgrade Card charges none of these fees. Over 90 percent of cards charge balance transfer fees and cash advance fees. The Upgrade Card enables you to transfer cash from your Personal Credit Line to your bank account with no fees.

If there are changes to your credit score or other risk factors based on a soft inquiry, or changes to market conditions, the availability of your remaining credit, the interest rate, and length of the credit offered may be adjusted for future transactions. The terms on your existing balances will never change. You will be given the opportunity to accept new terms before requesting future transactions if you wish to continue using your line. Transactions will be subject to a minimum draw amount, which is determined based on your total line availability. There is no minimum draw amount when you use the Upgrade Card. Based on the amount you spend in total we may ask you to confirm a new line agreement to continue to provide you with additional credit.
