These Program Terms are separate from your Comenity® Mastercard® Credit Card Account Agreement (your "Account Agreement"), which governs the use of your Account.

Earning Cash Back
You will earn Cash Back when you, or an authorized user, make eligible purchases of goods and services for personal, family and household purposes using your Account, minus any returns, refunds or credit adjustments ("Net Eligible Purchases"). Purchases that are not a whole dollar amount will be rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount to determine the amount of Cash Back earned. Purchases that end in $0.50 will be rounded using bankers rounding, where the purchase is rounded to the nearest even whole dollar amount. Example: $2.50 rounds to $2.00 whereas $3.50 rounds to $4.00.
Using your Comenity® Mastercard® Credit Card you will earn:
*Reward Merchant Classification Codes: Merchants who accept Mastercard are assigned a merchant classification code ("MCC"), which is determined by the merchant or its processor in accordance with Mastercard procedures based on the products and/or services they primarily sell. The Bank does not control the assignment of these codes and are not responsible for incorrectly coded purchases. Even though a merchant or some of the items it sells may appear to fit within a certain rewards category, the merchant may not have a code in that category. Purchases made with third-party payment accounts, including but not limited to PayPal and Venmo, will not earn additional Cash Back.
Cash Back is not earned on: unauthorized or fraudulent charges, charges that violate the terms of your Account Agreement, balance transfers, cash advances, transactions treated similar to cash advances, interest charges, and fees of any kind.
The Bank may temporarily prohibit you from earning Cash Back, using Cash Back or using any features of the Program if: your Account becomes delinquent; the Bank suspects that you or any authorized user has engaged in fraudulent activity related to your Account or the Program; or the Bank suspects that you misused the Program in any way.
Cash Back awarded for purchases that do not remain Net Eligible Purchases will be deducted from your Cash Back balance. Returned items may result in credits being applied to your Account, which will reduce or may eliminate accumulated Cash Back and may result in a negative Cash Back balance. If your Cash Back balance goes negative, you must first earn Cash Back to bring your Cash Balance to zero before earning any Cash Back eligible for redemption.
The Bank reserves the right to verify and adjust Cash Back as applicable, at any time.
Bonus Cash Back for Special Offers
From time to time, the Bank may make bonus offers to earn additional Cash Back ("Bonus Cash Back"). Read each offer carefully, as there may be important additional conditions or limitations, such as blackout periods, Bonus Cash Back limits, or exclusions. You may have to register to qualify for the offer. The Bank may change or withdraw an offer at any time without notice. Any such change or withdrawal will not affect Bonus Cash Back already earned. Certain offers may only be communicated via email. Tax and shipping charges are excluded from specials offers and bonuses.
Expiration
Important note: Cash Back will not expire after the date that they are posted to your Cash Back balance; however, they will be subject to the terms described in the Termination and Forfeiture section.

Misuse includes, but is not limited to, obtaining or using an Account to maximize Cash Back earned in a manner that is not consistent with typical consumer activity as determined in the Bank's sole discretion.
Issuing Rewards and Redemption
You may redeem Cash Back on Account Center. Cash Back will be redeemed on a "first in, first out" basis, such that the first Cash Back earned will be the first Cash Back redeemed. Once you've redeemed your Cash Back for a Statement Credit, your Cash Back balance will be reduced by the number of Cash Back dollars used to obtain the Statement Credit. Rewards are issued for reward purposes only.
Redeeming Cash Back for Statement Credits Statement Credits will be made available on Account Center to redeem. The amount available to redeem, starting at 1 penny ($0.01), is based on your rewards balance. Statement Credits may be requested by you at comenity.net/comenitycard and will appear on your monthly billing statement.
Once redeemed, Statement Credits redemptions may take up to 3 business days to post to your account. Statement Credits lower the account balance and do count towards your minimum monthly payment. Your minimum monthly payment will not be required if your Statement Credit is equal to or greater than your minimum payment due. Once you request a Statement Credit, your request cannot be changed or returned.
Other Terms
Cash Back may not be sold, transferred or altered in any way by you. Cash Back you earn may not be combined with Cash Back earned on any other credit account or earned by anyone else (other than your Authorized User). You may review your Cash Back balance via Account Center or billing statement. It may take up to two billing cycles for Cash Back to post. The amount of Cash Back earned is based on the date your purchase was made, which may be different than the date the transaction posts to your Account. For mail order, special order, online, and other purchases, your transaction may not post to your Account until items have shipped.
