About Us and This Credit Card Program: This credit card program is issued and administered by Barclays Bank Delaware, located in Wilmington, Delaware. Any credit card account opened in response to this application shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. MasterCard is a registered trademark of MasterCard International Incorporated, and is used by us pursuant to a license. Visa is a registered trademark of VISA USA, Inc. and is used by us pursuant to a license.

Changes to Account and Benefits Terms: We reserve the right to change the APR and other account terms in accordance with the Cardmember Agreement, Delaware law and the Federal Truth in Lending Act. We also reserve the right to change the benefits and features associated with the card or the account.

About Your Credit Report and Your Credit Performance: You agree that Barclays has the right to obtain a current credit report in connection with our review of your application and, subsequently, in connection with a requested charge to any account with us, 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 report about you. After your account is opened, we will periodically review your credit performance. If you do not maintain your credit performance, we may change your account terms.

How the Variable APRs on Your Account will be Determined: The APRs on your account will be determined each billing cycle by adding a margin to the Prime Rate (which will be the highest rate published in the Money Rates column of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each month). See your Cardmember Agreement for more detail. The APRs noted above are current as of 06/24/2010 using a Prime Rate of 3.25%.

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 record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means to you: When you apply for an account, we will ask for your name, street address, date of birth, social security number, 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.

Balance Transfers. Here's How it Works:
To request a balance transfer please enter the 15 or 16 digit account number from the MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover Card account that you want us to process a balance transfer to. Upon approval of your application we will provide you with your Cardmember Agreement and to the extent permitted by your credit line we will process the requested balance transfer payment to the credit card account(s) which you have requested. If the total amount you request exceeds the assigned credit line on this account, we may either decline the request or send a partial payment to your creditor(s) in the order you provided them to us. The amount of available credit on this account will be reduced by the amount of the balance transfer and the related balance transfer fees. We reserve the right to decline to process any requested balance transfer. We will not process a request to transfer a balance from any other account you may have with us. Balance transfers incur interest from the transaction date and they do not have the same charge back rights as transactions conducted with a credit card.

A balance transfer may take up to 4 weeks to post to your other credit card accounts. Continue to pay each creditor until the balance transfer appears on the other account as a credit. If you would like to complete a balance transfer from another account that is not a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card, please call the phone number on the back of your new credit card once you are approved.

The information contained in these disclosures is accurate as of 06/24/2010 and may change after this date.

Information Sharing:
Barclays' Privacy Policy is available online at www.BarclaycardUS.com. I agree that Barclays Bank Delaware and Virgin America may share information about me and my Account to the extent needed to administer the Virgin America Visa Card in conjunction with the Virgin America Loyalty Program.

Virgin America Elevate Loyalty Program

a) When you applied for the Virgin America Credit Card Account issued by Barclays Bank Delaware ("Barclays"), you were asked whether the Primary Cardmember was a member of the Virgin America Loyalty Program ("Elevate"). If you answered yes and gave us the Primary Cardmember's Elevate membership number, then we will not issue a different membership number to you. If you answered no or did not give us the membership number, then we will issue the Primary Cardmember a membership number and ask Virgin America to enroll the Primary Cardmember into Elevate. Only one Elevate membership will be established regardless of whether your Account is an individual account or an account with an authorized user. If the Account has an authorized user, then we will enroll the Primary Cardmember.  The Primary Cardmember can be eligible to receive and redeem "Elevate points" subject to the terms and conditions of the Elevate as established, modified, supplemented and/or amended by Virgin America from time to time (the "Elevate Terms and Conditions"). Please visit www.virginamerica.com/elevatememberguide for complete Elevate Terms and Conditions.

b) On the closing date of each billing cycle that your Account remains open and current, we will report to Virgin America the Net Purchases charged to your Account during a billing cycle and request that Virgin America award Elevate points as set forth in paragraph (d). If your Account is not open, current or in good standing on the date a billing cycle closes, then we will report no Net Purchases to Virgin America for that billing cycle. We will ask that Elevate points be awarded to the Primary Cardmember, regardless of who made the "Purchase." "Net Purchases" for a billing cycle are determined by totaling all new Purchases added to the Account during the billing cycle, and then subtracting credits posted to the Account during the period for returned Purchases and/or adjustments. For purposes of reporting Net Purchases, for each transaction, we may round up or down to whole dollar amounts. If credits for returned Purchases exceed new Purchases during a billing cycle, we will report negative Net Purchases and ask Virgin America to reduce the Primary Cardmember's accrued Elevate points accordingly. Point accumulation is subject to certain limitations, exclusions and restrictions. There is no limit to the number of Elevate points which may be earned. Net Purchases do not include fees, charges, credit insurance premiums, or transactions posting as Cash Advances or non-qualifying Balance Transfers, whether received from financial institutions, automated teller machines, by use of Barclays, checks, or by any other means. We reserve the right to exclude from Net Purchases unauthorized Purchases, Purchases which are added to your Account after you are past due or over your credit line. We may ask Virgin America to withdraw Elevate points previously awarded if your Account is more than sixty (60) days past due, or if the points were awarded on Purchases not authorized by you. We are not responsible to award Elevate points under the Program, to arrange or provide for any services related to travel or the use of Elevate points, for any delay, failure, or refusal by Virgin America to award or redeem Elevate points, or for any decision by Virgin America to revoke or cancel points or membership in the Program.

c) We will show on your monthly Account statement the Primary Cardmember's monthly accrued Elevate points as reflected in our records. You understand that there will be a delay between the date you make a Purchase, the date we report Net Purchases to Virgin America, and the date that Virgin America acts upon the information, and that, for this and other reasons, our records and the records of Virgin America regarding the Primary Cardmember's accrued points may differ. You understand and agree that Elevate points are not received by the Primary Cardmember until awarded by Virgin America, and that, in the event of any discrepancy between our records and Virgin America’s records of the Primary Cardmember's accrued points, then the records of Virgin America will stand. 

d) Virgin America Visa credit card Cardmembers will earn three (3) Elevate points for every one dollar ($1.00) of net purchases of Virgin America tickets or RED in-flight purchases with the Account rounded to the nearest dollar; and one (1) Elevate point for every one dollar ($1.00) of Net Purchases made anywhere else with the Account rounded to the nearest dollar. The 2,500 bonus points will be awarded upon the first use of your Account for a purchase or balance transfer. Bonus points will be sent to Virgin America at the close of the first billing statement in which the purchase or balance transfer has posted. Virgin America credit card Cardmembers will earn one (1) Elevate point for every one dollar ($1.00) in balances transferred to your account during the first 30 days the account is open up to a maximum of 2,500 points.  Convenience Checks do not qualify for Elevate points. Cardmembers will also earn 300 bonus points for every $5,000 in net purchases per year, up to 1,200 annual bonus points.

As an Elevate member, your Elevate points will not expire as long as you have earning or redemption activity at least once every 18 months. So your points will extend for another 18 months with any qualifying activity such as flights on Virgin America, completed reward travel, or through earning points on your Virgin America credit card or other partners.

e) From time to time, we may offer bonuses or awards of points, credits or other premiums (for example, First Use Points, First Use Certificates, and Promotional Companion Tickets) to new Virgin America Visa Cardmembers. Unless otherwise stated in the offer, these bonuses and/or awards are intended for persons who are not, and have not previously been, Virgin America Cardmembers. You understand and agree that, unless we otherwise state, you are no longer eligible to receive these bonuses and/or awards for any new Virgin America account you open after this Account is opened. If you receive a bonus or award for which you are not eligible, we may direct Virgin America to revoke the bonus or award, or reduce your Elevate points by the amount of the award, or charge your account for the fair value of the bonus or award, at our option. 

f) Virgin America is not a party to the Credit Card Cardmember Agreement between you and us, does not participate in any extension of credit and has no authority regarding the Account. Barclays, is the sole creditor and owner of the Account. You authorize us to share information about your account with Virgin America to the extent needed to administer the Virgin America Elevate Loyalty Program. You also agree that we may share Account information as set forth in Barclays' Privacy Policy.
