- Credit scores are used to represent the creditworthiness of a person and may be one indicator to the credit type you are eligible for. However, credit score alone does not guarantee or imply approval for any PREMIER Bankcard product.
- The Program Fee is assessed to offset the risk associated with the credit card account.
