MasterCard is a registered trademark of MasterCard International Incorporated, and is used by us pursuant to a license.

Changes to Account and Benefits Terms: We reserve the right to change the APR and other account terms in accordance with the Cardmember Agreement, Delaware law and the Federal Truth in Lending Act. We also reserve the right to change the benefits and features associated with the card or the account.

About Your Credit Report and Your Credit Performance: You agree that Barclays has the right to obtain a current credit report in connection with our review of your application and, subsequently, in connection with a requested charge to any account with us, the renewal of your account, or a change in your credit line; and that we have the right to report to others our credit experience with you. Upon your request, we will tell you the name and address of each consumer reporting agency from which we obtained a consumer report about you. After your account is opened, we will periodically review your credit performance. If you do not maintain your credit performance, we may change your account terms.

How the Variable APRs on Your Account will be Determined: The APRs on your account will be determined each billing cycle by adding a margin to the Prime Rate (which will be the highest rate published in the Money Rates column of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each month). See your Cardmember Agreement for more detail. The APRs noted above are current as of 01/31/2013 using a Prime Rate of 3.25%.

Notice to Married Wisconsin Residents: No provision of any marital property agreement, unilateral statement under Section 766.59 of the Wisconsin statutes, or court order under Section 766.70 adversely affects the interest of the creditor, Barclays Bank Delaware, unless the Bank, prior to the time the credit is granted or an open-end credit plan is entered into, is furnished a copy of the Agreement, Statement or Decree, or has actual knowledge of the adverse provision.

Your Telephone Number: By providing us with a telephone number(s), at the time you apply or anytime thereafter, you authorize Barclays and its affiliates, agents and independent contractors, to contact you regarding your account at such number using any means of communication, including, but not limited to calls placed to your cell, mobile or other phone using an automated dialing service, pre-recorded messages or text messages. Standard text messaging and/or calling charges may apply.

Balance Transfers. Here's How it Works:
To request a balance transfer please enter the 15/16 digit account number from the MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover Card account that you want us to process a balance transfer to. If the total amount you request exceeds the assigned credit line on your new account, we may either decline the request or send a partial payment to your creditor(s).  The amount of available credit on your new account will be reduced by the amount transferred and the related balance transfer fees.  We reserve the right to decline to process any requested balance transfer.  We will not process a request to transfer a balance from any other account you may have with us. Balance transfers incur interest from the transaction date. You should not transfer the amount of any disputed purchase or other charge. If you do, you may lose your dispute rights.  Upon approval of your application we will process the requested balance transfer payment to the account(s) which you have requested on the 10th day after we’ve mailed you your card; during this 10 day time period you may cancel your balance transfer by contacting us at the number on the back of your card.

A balance transfer may take up to 4 weeks to post to your other credit card accounts. Continue to pay each creditor until the balance transfer appears on the other account as a credit. If you would like to complete a balance transfer from another account that is not a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card, please call the phone number on the back of your new credit card once you are approved. Balance transfers are subject to availability. We may deny balance transfer requests at any time and for any reason.

Paying Interest on Balance Transfers and Cash Advances:
We charge interest on balance transfers and cash advances beginning on the transaction date. We charge interest on purchases unless you pay your entire balance, which includes all purchases, cash advances and balance transfers by the payment due date each and every month. Your entire balance includes any balances you transfer pursuant to this offer. This means that we will charge you interest on purchases if you do not pay any balance transfers in full by the first payment due date. Please see your Cardmember Agreement for details on how interest accrues.

Cash Equivalent Purchases: The purchase of money orders, travelers' checks, foreign currency, lottery tickets, gambling chips, wire transfers and other similar transactions are treated as cash advances. Please see the Cardmember Agreement that will accompany your credit card upon account opening for more details.

The information contained in these disclosures is accurate as of 01/31/2013 and may change after this date.

Information Sharing:

Barclays' Privacy Policy is available online at www.BarclaycardUS.com. I agree that Barclays Bank Delaware, Princess, and the Rewards Program administrator, Enhancement Services Corporation ("ESC Loyalty") may share information about me and my account to the extent needed to administer the Rewards Program.

Princess Rewards Program

1. General
- The Princess Rewards Visa Card is issued by Barclays Bank Delaware ("Barclays"). Barclays reserves the right to modify, cancel or terminate the Princess Rewards Program at any time with or without notice. The Princess Rewards Visa Card is only open to U.S. residents at least 18 years old.

2. Program Eligibility-The Princess Rewards Program eligibility is restricted to individuals who maintain a Princess Rewards Visa Credit Card Account ("Account") that is open and current.

On the closing date of each billing cycle that your "Account" remains open and current, Barclays will calculate the Net Purchases charged to your Account during a billing cycle. If your Account is not open and/or current on the date a billing cycle closes, Barclays will calculate no Net Purchases for that billing cycle. Princess Points’ (“Points”) will be issued to the Primary Cardmember, regardless of who made the purchase. "Net Purchases" for a billing cycle are determined by totaling all new purchases added to your Account during the billing cycle, and then subtracting Points posted to your Account during the period for returned purchases and/or adjustments. For purposes of calculating Net Purchases, Barclays may round up or down to whole dollar amounts. If Points for returned purchases exceed new purchases during a billing cycle, Barclays will calculate negative Net Purchases and reduce the Primary Cardmember's accrued points accordingly. Net Purchases do not include fees, finance charges, credit insurance premiums, or transactions posting as non-qualifying Balance Transfers or Cash Advances, whether received from financial institutions, automated teller machines, by use of Barclays convenience checks, or by any other means. Barclays reserves the right to exclude from Net Purchases any unauthorized purchases or purchases which are added to your Account after you are past due or over limit.

If your points are forfeited for any reason, we will not reinstate these points to your Account. Your Account may only be used for personal, family, or household purposes. Your Account may not be used for business or commercial purposes.  Barclays reserves the right, at any time, to forfeit points earned on purchases it deems as commercial in nature.  Barclays is not responsible for arranging or providing any services related to travel or the use of Points or for any delay, failure, or refusal by Princess to redeem Points. Barclays will show on your monthly Account statement the Primary Cardmember's accrued Points as reflected in their records. Points are valid for five (5) years from posting date and will expire if not redeemed.  Barclays is not responsible for arranging or providing any services related to travel or the use of Points or for any delay, failure, or refusal by Princess to redeem Points.
