MyWay Installment Payment FAQs

MyWay Installment Payment FAQs

1. Where do I see what offers my purchase qualifies for?

expand accordion toggle

Log into digital banking and click or tap the “View Statements & Rewards” link. Once there, you’ll see an icon for “Installment Payments”. All of your eligible purchases will be listed!

2. How long do I have to decide if I want to select an installment plan?

expand accordion toggle

Purchases for the current statement cycle are eligible. Once your statement period has closed, you will no longer see offers from a past statement.

3. How is my minimum payment calculated?

expand accordion toggle

We will calculate the minimum payment as:

  1. any past-due amounts; PLUS
  2. any special payment obligations in connection with Installment Plan Offers which require repayment of the balance over a pre-selected number of billing periods; PLUS
  3. the larger of

    a. $XX (or total amount you owe if less than $XX); or

    b. the sum of X% of the new balance (excluding any installment plan balances which require special payment obligations to ensure repayment of the balance over a pre-selected number
    of billing period).

    The above example does not factor issuers who add overlimit amounts, billed interest, or other fees to the Minimum Payment Due (MPD) calculation.

4. How are payments applied?

expand accordion toggle

Up to the MPD: When you make a payment, generally, we first apply your minimum payment to the monthly obligation for any Installment Plan offer balances with special payment obligation which require repayment of the balance over a pre-selected number of billing periods, and then to the balance on your monthly statement with the lowest APR.

  • Excess of MPD: Amounts paid in excess of the MPD would generally be applied to the balance on your monthly statement with the highest APR first.

If you do not pay your New Balance, or Interest Avoidance Balance, as shown on your statement, in full each month, you may not avoid paying interest on your new, regular (non-installment) purchases. We apply payments to balances as they appear on your monthly statement before being applied to new transactions. An example of a new transaction is a recent purchase made that is not included in the New Balance as shown on your statement.

5. I usually qualify for Skip Pay each year, so I do not have to make a payment in January. Why did I not get this offer in X year?

expand accordion toggle

Accounts will fail Skip Pay qualification controlled in the Product Control File (CP PO SP) if they are carrying an installment promotion, regardless of the balance. This is to allow them to pay the installment balance according to agreed terms

6. When does interest begin to accrue on installment balances?

expand accordion toggle

For installments created from Cycle-to-Date purchase transactions, interest begins to accrue on the day after the first billing cycle with the installment transaction and continues until paid in full. Once interest begins to accrue, there is no grace period on the installment balance (like cash advances).

7. I paid off my installment. Why did I see additional interest billed on the next billing statement?

expand accordion toggle

You may see trailing interest when you pay off the principal balance during a cycle. When this happens, we will charge interest from the first day of the billing cycle until the date the principal balance is paid in full.

For example, assume your account statements on the 10th of every month. On August 20th you pay off your installment balance. On the September 10th statement, you will see trailing interest billed on the balance from August 11th through August 19th.

8. My transaction posted on the date my statement generated. Why do I not see any installment offers?

expand accordion toggle

Processing an installment on a transaction that has already billed to the statement will cause interest to accrue on the first installment cycle. As a result, transactions that post on the statement date will not be eligible for offers to prevent cross-cycle installment adjustments that may conflict with disclosures around interest accrual.

9. When do Installment offers expire on transactions?

expand accordion toggle

Offers Expire based on the Next Statement Date on the account at the time of the offer.

*Your ability to create each new installment plan will depend on an assessment of eligibility made at the time you seek to create an installment plan. In order to create a new installment plan, your account must be in good standing and you must have a minimum $100 purchase or statement balance on your eligible card. We may also limit or otherwise restrict your ability to participate in the installment program based on your account's available credit or for any other reason.
