[On-screen]: Applied Approved Purchased

[Voice over]: I’ve applied, been approved, and completed my purchase on the same day, plus the payment options were surprisingly reasonable.

[Voice over]: Not only did I get the credit that I needed to make the purchase, but I could avoid borrowing costs by sticking to the payment schedule.

[Voice over]: First, I had to make sure I could afford the monthly payments.

Payment in Full/Equal Payments. The payment will be the amount required to pay the initial purchase balance shown on the Cardholder’s monthly billing statement in full during the special terms period. Because of rounding, the final payment could be less than other payments.
