In return for a monthly fee ("Imagine Credit Protection Fee") and under certain conditions as described herein, we will make your minimum payment for a period of time or cancel certain portions of your Account balance as described below. In this Imagine Credit Protection Plan Addendum ("Addendum"), "you" and "your" refer only to the Primary Cardholder of the Imagine credit card account ("Account") that is protected under this Addendum. No other person shall be considered a party to or protected under this Addendum for any Protected Event.

Minimum Payment Benefit: During a Minimum Payment Benefit Period, your responsibility to make a minimum payment on your Account is eliminated (excluding any past due or over-limit amounts) as a result of your activation of a Benefit for Involuntary Job Loss, Disability, or Hospitalization. We will not bill your Account for Imagine Credit Protection Fees, and we will make any minimum payments due on your behalf during the Minimum Payment Benefit Period. However, finance charges will continue to accrue during the Minimum Payment Benefit Period. Any scheduled annual fee provided for in your Agreement will be deferred until the Minimum Payment Benefit Period has ended. Once the Minimum Payment Benefit Period has ended you will be obligated to repay the amount outstanding on your Account, including any charges posted during the Minimum Payment Benefit Period.

3. Imagine CREDIT PROTECTION FEE. The Imagine Credit Protection Fee is $.89 per $100 of your total outstanding balance for Purchases and Cash Advances. The Imagine Credit Protection Fee will be shown on your Account billing statement and added to the outstanding balance due on your Account each Billing Cycle. If the total outstanding balance on your Account for Purchases and Cash Advances for a Billing Cycle is zero, no Imagine Credit Protection Fee will be imposed for that Billing Cycle. Your enrollment in Imagine Credit Protection will automatically renew each Billing Cycle, at the then current rate, unless you contact us to cancel. See Section 9 below.
4. SPECIFIC CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH PROTECTED EVENT. To activate a Benefit for any Protected Event, you must meet the specific conditions and requirements for the Protected Event as described below and not be subject to any of the exclusions.
5. GENERAL CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ALL PROTECTED EVENTS.
5.1 General Activation Requirements. "You or a Responsible Party must notify us of the occurrence of a Protected Event in accordance with all applicable guidelines. Benefits are contingent upon (i) your active enrollment in Imagine Credit Protection (including your satisfactory payment of the Imagine Credit Protection Fee), (ii) the occurrence of a Protected Event, (iii) your compliance with applicable activation requirements and (iv) the expiration of any applicable waiting period for Benefit activation.
5.2 No Addendum Waiting Period. A Benefit may be activated for any Protected Event occurring after your Enrollment Date.
5.3 Benefit Activation. To request activation for a Protected Event, you must contact Imagine Credit Protection and request a Benefit Activation Form. You may call the Imagine Credit Protection Program toll free at 1-866-816-7025, Monday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Written requests for Benefit Activation Forms should be sent via U.S. mail to Imagine Credit Protection, P.O. Box 105415, Atlanta, GA 30348-5415. Imagine Credit Protection will send a Benefit Activation Form within 15 days of the request. You or a Responsible Party and any other required persons or officials must complete the Benefit Activation Form as required for the applicable Protected Event. We will not activate a Benefit until the Benefit Activation Form is completed by all required parties and returned to the Imagine Credit Protection with the required documentation.

If you elect to terminate a Benefit early, you forfeit the right to any further Benefit for Protected Event.

To avoid additional Finance Charges and Late Payment Fees on your Account, you or a Responsible Party must continue to make the scheduled Minimum Payments on your Account, until your request for a Protected Event is approved and a Benefit is activated.
6. GENERAL LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS, MULTIPLE PROTECTED EVENTS AND MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES.
6.1 General Limitations and Monetary Limitations on Benefits. Your Account must have an outstanding balance to activate a Benefit under this Addendum. No amounts will be paid directly to you.
There are specific monetary limits for Loss of Life listed in Section 6.2 below.
6.2 Limitations on Balance Cancellation Benefits. For Loss of Life, the only Benefit provided is a Balance Cancellation Benefit.
6.3 Limitations on Minimum Payment Benefit. The only Benefit provided for Involuntary Job Loss, Disability, or Hospitalization is a Minimum Payment Benefit.
- During the Minimum Payment Benefit Period, your responsibility to make a Minimum Payment on your Account is eliminated (excluding any past due or overlimit amounts) as a result of your activation of a Benefit for Involuntary Job Loss, Disability, or Hospitalization. We will not bill your Account for Imagine Credit Protection Fees, and we will make any minimum payments due on your Account during the Minimum Payment Benefit Period. However, Finance Charges will continue to accrue during the Minimum Payment Benefit Period. Any scheduled Annual Fee provided for in your Agreement will be deferred until the Minimum Payment Benefit Period has ended. During a Minimum Payment Benefit Period, your ability to make Purchases, take Cash Advances, or have any transactions (including preauthorized debits) charged to your Account will be suspended.
-
If your Account is thirty (30) days or greater past due when a Benefit for Involuntary Job Loss, Disability, or Hospitalization is activated, you will not be eligible to activate a Benefit for any other Protected Event that provides a Minimum Payment Benefit during the same Enrollment Year, if your Account is past due at the time of the second request. For example, you enroll in Imagine Credit Protection on October 1, 2017 and activate a Benefit for Hospitalization in November 2017 at a time when your Account is greater than thirty (30) days past due, you may not request Benefit Activation for Involuntary Job Loss, or Hospitalization until October 2, 2018, the start of a new Enrollment Year, or your Account status is brought current.
When a Minimum Payment Benefit Period ends, the normal terms of your Agreement will apply, Minimum Payments will be required from you, Imagine Credit Protection Fees and other Account fees will be charged, and Finance Charges will continue to accrue.
Following a Minimum Payment Benefit Period, you must first make a minimum payment before you will be allowed to use your Account for new Purchases, Cash Advances or pre-authorized debit transactions.
6.4 Multiple Protected Events and Multiple Occurrences. You may only activate and receive a Benefit for one Protected Event at a time under this Addendum, except in the event of Loss of Life. The occurrence of simultaneous Protected Events only entitles you to one Cancellation or Deferment Period. For Involuntary Job Loss, Disability and Hospitalization, at least 365 days must elapse between the end of one Deferment Period and the beginning of another for the same type of Protected Event. However, if you have already activated a Benefit for a Protected Event and Loss of Life occurs during the Minimum Payment Benefit Period, your Account will remain eligible to activate a Balance Cancellation Benefit for Loss of Life.
7. POSSIBLE TAX CONSEQUENCES. The Benefits provided under this Addendum may be taxable to you or your estate as income. This means that you may be required to pay federal and/or state income tax on the Benefits provided. We will NOT pay any income tax owed by you or your estate. You (or any Responsible Party) should consult your own tax advisor regarding the consequences of any Benefits received under this Addendum.
8. CHANGES TO THIS ADDENDUM.
