*Excluding the following: Special orders, gift cards, used items, vintage items, open-box items, and clearance items. Qualifying purchase amount must be on one receipt and cannot be combined with promotional coupons. 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 payments. For example, a $950 purchase with $50 in taxes and shipping costs, will be charged a promo fee equal to $20 and $1,020 will be charged to your account. No interest will be charged on the amount financed (including related promo fee), and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the initial total promo purchase amount (including related promo fee) divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole cent. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period, the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. For new accounts: as of 7/16/2024: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99% Minimum interest charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval. Offer available 10/27/2024 - 01/01/2025.

‡ 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.
