MasterCard¨
account.
ÒCardÓ means the PayPal Extras
MasterCard.
ÒCardholderÓ means the person to whom the
Card was issued.

2.
ELIGIBILITY. In order to receive the benefits of the Program, you must do the
following two things as set forth in these Program terms:
(i) Make Purchases with your Card accumulating the necessary
level of Reward Points; and
(ii)
Redeem the Reward Points accumulated.
Unless
and until you complete the above steps, no right, title or interest in the

restricted to individuals who maintain a PayPal Extras MasterCard¨ account. If your right to use
the Account is suspended for any reason or your Account is terminated for any
reason, your participation in the Program will be terminated. Bank will not
compensate you for unredeemed Reward Points in the event your Program
participation is suspended or terminated.
3.
REWARD POINTS ACCUMULATION. Cardholders will accumulate Reward Points
based on net Purchases on the CardholderÕs Account. Returns and other purchase
credits and adjustments will result in a debit to your Reward Points balance. The
maximum amount of Reward Points Cardholders can accumulate in a Card Year is
50,000. Reward Points will accumulate as follows:
¥ You will
accumulate 3 Rewards Points for every dollar in net Purchases at a merchantÕs
location that have merchant category codes selected by Bank that are
customarily used for gas stations or restaurants (a ÒQualifying Merchant
Category CodeÓ). A merchant category code is a four digit classification code
that is assigned to a merchant by the merchantÕs payment card network or
merchant processor based on the predominant business activity of the merchant.
A Purchase made within the department or section of a larger merchant that is
not a stand-alone gas station or restaurant will not have a Qualifying Merchant
Category Code. Bank does not assign, and does not have any responsibility for
the assignment of, merchant category codes and does not evaluate whether or not
a Qualifying Merchant Category Code should be assigned to a particular merchant.
Bank reserves the right to determine which merchant category codes are
Qualifying Merchant Category Codes. Purchases at eBay or any PayPal merchants made through
your PayPal account do not qualify for 3 Rewards Points.
¥
You will accumulate 2 Rewards Points for every dollar of net Purchases when making a
Purchase at eBay or any PayPal merchant through your PayPal account. You must
be signed into your PayPal account.
¥ You will accumulate 1 Rewards Point for every other dollar of
net Purchases.
The amount of Reward Points accumulated is calculated each
day. For the purpose of calculating accumulated Reward Points, the daily
purchase total is rounded down to the previous whole dollar.
A Cardholder is not eligible to
accumulate Reward Points if any minimum payment on
the CardholderÕs Account is not paid when due. After any past due amounts on
the CardholderÕs Account are paid, the Cardholder will once again be eligible
to accumulate Reward Points.
Reward Points are not available for
redemption and will not be credited to you until the next billing period for
your Account after the Purchase is made. In some circumstances we may delay
crediting Reward Points to your Program account
and/or making Reward Points available for redemption.
4. LOSS OF REWARD POINTS. A Cardholder will forfeit all accrued Reward
Points in any of the following circumstances: (i) if two or more consecutive minimum payments on the
CardholderÕs Account are not paid when due; (ii) if the CardholderÕs Account is
closed for any reason (other than as a result of of a lost or stolen card, in which case all
accrued Reward Points will be
applied to the replacement card); (iii) if the CardholderÕs PayPal Account is
closed; or (iv) if Cardholder does not make a Purchase for 12 consecutive months.
In addition, accrued Reward Points
that are not redeemed will be forfeited 24 months (2 years) after they were
first accrued.
5. REDEMPTION OF
REWARD POINTS. Only the
primary Cardholder may redeem Reward Points. Multiple participants may not combine Reward Points for redemption purposes. Reward Points do not constitute property of the Cardholder.
Except as expressly permitted by Bank in writing, Reward Points and awards are not transferable or assignable
under any circumstances, including (i) upon death,
(ii) as part of a domestic relations matter, or (iii) otherwise by operation of
law. For redemption, visit the PayPal Extras Reward Redemption Servicing site. You can get to the Service Site by logging in

Program. You acknowledge that the Program is a promotional program and that the
