Preauthorized Transfers The Card Account cannot be used for preauthorized direct debits from merchants, Internet service or other utility service providers (“Merchants”). If presented for payment, preauthorized direct debits will be declined and payment to the Merchant or provider will not be made. You are not authorized to provide the combination of the Issuer’s bank routing number and the Card Account number to anyone. Using the Card/Features The maximum value of the Card is restricted to $1,000.00. These are the maximum amounts that can be spent on the Card: Transaction Type Frequency and/or Dollar Limits Card Purchases (Signature or PIN) No daily limit, $1,000.00 per transaction, up to $1,000.00 per calendar day You may use the Card to purchase or lease goods or services everywhere Visa debit cards, Maestro cards, and Interlink cards are accepted as long as you do not exceed the available value of the Card Account and other restrictions (see examples described below) do not apply. Some merchants do not allow cardholders to conduct split transactions where you use the Card as partial payment for goods and services and pay the remainder of the balance with another form of legal tender. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to charge only the exact amount of funds available on the Card Account to the Card. You must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split transaction prior to swiping the Card, the Card is likely to be declined. If you use the Card at an automated fuel dispenser (“pay at the pump”), the transaction may be preauthorized for an amount up to $100.00 or more. If the Card is declined, even though there are sufficient funds available, you should pay for your purchase inside with the cashier. If you use the Card at a restaurant, a hotel, for a car rental purchase, or for similar purchases, the transaction may be preauthorized for the purchase amount plus up to 20% or more to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred. A preauthorization will place a “hold” on those available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorized amount on hold will be removed. It may take up to seven (7) days for the hold to be removed. During the hold period, you will not have access to the preauthorized amount. You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment transaction originated by use of the Card. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make the purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to thirty (30) days. All transactions relating to car rentals may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to sixty (60) days. If you use the Card number without presenting the Card (such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you had used the Card itself. Card Account restrictions include, but are not limited to: restricted geographic or merchant locations where there is a higher risk of fraud or illegal activity; restrictions to comply with laws or prevent our liability; and other restrictions to prevent fraud and other losses. For security reasons, we may, with or without prior notice, limit the type, amount, or number of transactions you can make on the Card. You may not use the Card for illegal online gambling or any other illegal transaction. We may increase, reduce, cancel, or suspend any of the restrictions or add new ones at any time. The Card cannot be redeemed for cash. Each time you use the Card, you authorize us to reduce the available value of the Card Account by the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. You are not allowed to exceed the available amount in the Card Account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the available balance of funds on the Card, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction and any fees, if applicable. Non-Visa Debit Transactions New procedures are in effect that may impact you when you use the Card at certain merchant locations. In the past, transactions have been processed as Visa debit transactions unless you entered a PIN. Now, if you do not enter a PIN, transactions may be processed as either a Visa debit transaction, or as a Maestro and Interlink transaction. Merchants are responsible for and must provide you with a clear way of choosing to make a Visa debit transaction if they support the option. Please be advised that should you choose to use the Maestro or Interlink network when making a transaction without a PIN, different terms may apply. Certain protections and rights applicable only to Visa debit transactions as described in this Agreement will not apply to transactions processed on the Maestro or Interlink network. Please refer to the paragraph labeled “Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers” for a description of these rights and protections applicable to Visa debit and non-Visa debit transactions. To initiate a Visa debit transaction at the POS, swipe the Card through a POS terminal, sign the receipt, or provide the 16- digit Card number for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase. To initiate a non-Visa debit transaction at the POS, enter the PIN at the POS terminal or provide the 16-digit Card number after clearly indicating a preference to route the transaction as a non-Visa debit transaction for certain bill payment, mail order, telephone, or Internet purchases.
