Analysis
Comenity Capital Bank's filed agreement for Overstock Current Credit Card Agreements discloses a 35.99% purchase APR, a $35.88 annual fee and a 39.99% penalty rate. That purchase rate ranks near the 97th percentile across this corpus of 4,587 filings.
What this filing discloses
Comenity Capital Bank submitted the terms for Overstock Current Credit Card Agreements to the CFPB's agreement database; this is what they contain. The filing runs 15 pages.
Terms captured from the document include a purchase rate, a penalty rate, an annual fee line and a late payment maximum. A cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and a foreign transaction fee are not stated.
Pricing the purchase rate
Ranked against the corpus, this purchase APR — 35.99% — sits at approximately the 97th percentile and is about as high as anything filed here.
Translating the rate into money
A $1,500 balance left untouched for twelve months accrues about $649 in interest at this purchase rate.
The median purchase rate across the corpus is 21.99%; the same balance there would cost about $369. The gap — roughly $281 a year on $1,500 — is the price of this particular filing over a typical one.
Per statement cycle that is on the order of $45.01 on $1,500, which is the number that actually shows up on a bill.
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.
What the card costs before you borrow
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.
One way to size that fee: at the card's own purchase rate of 35.99%, $35.88 is roughly the interest a balance of about $100 would generate in a year. The fee is a fixed cost that behaves like perpetual interest on that much debt.
When a payment is late
If the account defaults, the filing permits a rate of 39.99%. Among disclosing agreements here that ranks near the 86th percentile.
Measured in money, moving from 35.99% to 39.99% costs an extra $175 or so annually on $3,000 — a far larger number than any single late fee.
On the fee side, a late payment can cost up to $41, which is around the 89th percentile here.
Grace period and minimum charge
Where interest applies at all, the filing bills at least $3. On a tiny balance that floor can dwarf the rate itself.
What is outside the disclosure
The disclosure parsed here does not state anything about cash advances, balance transfer terms, a foreign transaction fee and a grace period. Those gaps are gaps in what could be read from the filing, and the PDF may well address them in prose the rate table does not capture.
An agreement filing is not a marketing document. Rewards, perks, welcome offers and eligibility rules are not in it, are not in this dataset, and are therefore not discussed anywhere on this page.
The issuer's other agreements
Comenity Capital Bank has 100 agreements indexed on this site. Their disclosed purchase rates run from 14.74% to 35.99%, and this one at 35.99% is more expensive than 47 of them.
The document itself
This summary stands or falls on the linked PDF — 15 pages. Agreements are amended over time, and the filing reflects the terms as submitted rather than as they stand today.
In short
The defining fact about this filing is the purchase rate: at 35.99% it is in the expensive band of this corpus, and that cost only materialises for someone who revolves a balance. Against that sits the $35.88 annual fee, which is unavoidable once the account is open.
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.
