3. SPECIAL CARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
A. Account Access. In addition to any means by which I may access my Account as described in the Agreement, I may be permitted to obtain (up to my Available Credit Limit) loan advances by using any Card you provide, at any merchant or service provider ("Merchant") that allows me to use the Card to pay for goods or services. If you provide me with a Personal Identification Number ("PIN"), I may also obtain loan advances by using the Card at participating automated teller machine ("ATM") networks. I agree not to write my PIN on my Card(s) or disclose it to others. If I use my Card at an ATM, I understand that the owner of the ATM may charge me a fee for the transaction. I understand that in order to use my Card at an ATM, I must call 1-800-669-5864 the 800 assistance number which appears on the reverse side of my Card to request a PIN. I also understand that Card loan advances (whether at a Merchant or ATM) may be subject to transactional limits that could restrict the full use of my Available Credit Limit. There are no minimum draw requirements that apply when I use the Card, except for any limits that may be imposed separately by a Merchant or ATM owner. I agree that if you decide in your sole discretion to approve any transactions above my Available Credit Limit, I will be responsible for the full amount of any such advances. I understand that if I make reservations or purchases of any kind using my Card, my Account may be immediately charged for the full amount of the reservation or purchase, regardless of whether I have received the goods or services requested at the time my Account is charged.
