‡ A promo fee, equal to 2% of the amount financed at time of purchase, will be shown as a separate transaction on your billing statement and included in the balance subject to this promo. Any taxes, delivery or other charges included in the amount financed will increase the related promo fee and the required monthly payment. The estimated monthly payment shown (excluding taxes and delivery) equals the amount financed (including related promo fee) divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make your payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed (including related promo fee) within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this monthly payment will be added to the minimum payment applicable to those balances.
