4 Scenario listed above is just an example, and savings/rate/amount and term will vary for each member and savings are not guaranteed. The payment examples listed above were calculated as follows: 2% of Credit Card balance of $6,500; 2% Department Store Credit Card balance of $4,009.54; Finance company has a rate of 36% APR, a term of 18 months, and a balance of $3,163.31. The consolidated payment of $305.82 was calculated with a rate of 12.24%, a term of 60 months, and balance of $13,672.85, resulting in 12.29% APR. APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Not everyone will qualify for the advertised APR. Estimated payment may vary if credit protection products are added to loan.
