review of your application and, subsequently, in connection with a requested
charge to your Account, 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

This offer may not be available to you if you already have a Credit Card account with Barclays.
Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and

address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see copies of identifying documents.
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. IF I AM A MARRIED
WISCONSIN RESIDENT, CREDIT EXTENDED UNDER THIS ACCOUNT WILL BE INCURRED IN THE
INTEREST OF MY MARRIAGE OR FAMILY.
Transferring Your
Balances. Here's How it Works:
Upon approval of your application we will provide you with your Cardmember Agreement and to the extent permitted by your credit line process the payment to the credit card account(s) which you have requested, resulting in the balance being reduced by the amount of the payment. The amount available on your
Barclays
account will be reduced by the amount of the Balance Transfer. The payment will be shown on your online statement as well as your monthly statement. Your other credit card account will not be closed, even if you have paid your entire balance. You must contact the other credit card companies to close your other account.
Barclays reserves
the right to decline to process any Balance Transfer request and will process requests in the order requested within the credit line assigned to you Account. We will not process a request to transfer a balance from any other Account you may have with
us.
It is possible that your credit line amount may be lower than the Balance Transfer(s) requested. If this should occur,
Barclays
will process Balance Transfers up to a total amount which is sufficiently below the credit line so you do not exceed your credit line.
A balance transfer may take up to 3 weeks to post to your other credit card accounts. Please review your other credit card accounts to determine if you need to make a payment to avoid fees or penalties.
Subject to applicable federal and Delaware law, Barclays will allocate your payment to lower APR balances before higher APR balances. This means that your savings may be lower if you engage in transactions that result in balances subject to higher APRs.

Barclays' Privacy Policy is available online at www.BarclaycardUS.com. Upon approval, Barclays Bank Delaware will share relevant information with DIRECTV and the Rewards Program administrator, Enhancement Services Corportaion ("ESC Loyalty") as needed to fullfill the Rewards Program and Auto-Bill-Pay.

The Program Terms are separate from the terms of your Cardmember Agreement: however, any claim arising from participation in the Rewards Program (or the "Program") is subject to the arbitration provisions of your Cardmember Agreement, other than any claims related to DIRECTV hardware or programming which shall be governed by the terms of the DIRECTV Customer Agreement. From time to time Barclays Bank Delaware ("Barclays" or "we") may change the Program Terms. When any change is made, we will post revisions at www.BarclaycardUS.com and/or we will notify you in writing, as applicable. It is your responsibility to review the Program Terms to be aware of any changes.
Barclays reserves the right to alter, change, or terminate any Program feature or benefit prospectively after notice to you, including, without limitation, point accrual or redemption criteria, and to cancel or temporarily suspend the program at any time without notice. We may change the number of points earned for spending or the number of points required to redeem rewards, and/or impose caps and/or fees on earning or redeeming points, and/or cancel rewards.
In these Program Terms, we will refer to you as "you," "your," or as the "Cardmember."

The applicable DIRECTV service account must be in "good standing" as determined by DIRECTV in its sole discretion in order to redeem hardware and programming Rewards. There may be additional eligibility restrictions for particular Rewards. See the individual item terms and conditions for details. Hardware and programming Rewards may not be gifted.
You may only redeem one Reward classified as a Once in a Lifetime Reward per 12 month period per Cardmember account.
