Analysis

On the face of the filing
This page covers the agreement Comenity Capital Bank filed for Burlington Credit Card Current Credit Card Agreements. The filing runs 22 pages.
The filing is explicit about a purchase rate, an annual fee line and a late payment maximum. A cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and a penalty rate are not stated.
Parsing confidence here is medium, so treat the figures as indicative of the filing rather than a substitute for it.
The purchase APR against the corpus
The purchase APR of 33.99% places this agreement around the 79th percentile of the set — it comes in above the median.
What a balance actually costs
The purchase rate turns a $1,500 revolving balance into roughly $607 of annual interest.
On a median-priced agreement from this index (21.99%) the same $1,500 would run about $369 a year, so this card costs in the region of $238 more annually for the identical balance.
Small balances do not get a proportionally small bill — the agreement imposes a $3 minimum interest charge in any month where interest applies.
Treat this as an illustration of what the disclosed rate does, not as a projection of a real account, which would be shaped by payments and by the fees described elsewhere in the filing.
When a payment is late
The maximum late fee is $41 — roughly the 89th percentile of the late fee ceilings disclosed across this index.
Charges beyond interest
The annual fee is $35.88, charged whether or not the card is used. Against the filings here that disclose a fee, that sits at roughly the 84th percentile.
For scale, $35.88 is approximately what $106 of revolving balance would cost in interest over twelve months at this card's 33.99% rate.
Paying in full
A minimum interest charge of $3 applies in any cycle where interest is due, which makes very small revolving balances disproportionately expensive.

What you cannot learn from the filing
Absent from the captured terms: anything about cash advances, balance transfer terms, a foreign transaction fee and a grace period. The original document is the place to look for any of these.
What this analysis can address is bounded by the filing: rates, fees and the terms around them. Everything a card issuer might advertise — rewards, benefits, bonuses, who qualifies — falls outside the document and outside this review.
Reading the agreement yourself
The filed PDF is linked from this page and runs 22 pages. It is the authority for every figure summarised above; where this page and the document disagree, the document is right.
In short
The pricing here is middling by the standards of the index — 33.99% on purchases is near enough to typical. The $35.88 annual fee is charged regardless of use, so it is a cost that applies even to an account that never revolves. Given the parsing confidence on this filing, read the agreement itself before treating any of these figures as settled.
The source document
This page is a reading of one document: the cardholder agreement Comenity Capital Bank filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Where the two disagree, the filing is correct and this page is wrong.
