Analysis
Drexel Credit Card Account Agreement and Pricing Addendum, as filed by Synchrony Financial, carries a 34.99% purchase APR and a 39.99% penalty rate. Against the 4,587 filings on this site, that rate lands around the 84th percentile.
The disclosed terms
The document behind this page is Synchrony Financial's filed agreement for Drexel Credit Card Account Agreement and Pricing Addendum. The filing runs five pages.
The filing is explicit about a purchase rate, a penalty rate, a late payment maximum and a grace period. No figure appears for a cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and an annual fee line.
How the purchase rate compares
At 34.99%, the purchase APR falls at roughly the 84th percentile of the 2,280 filings indexed here, which sits in the expensive end of the corpus.
What a balance actually costs
A $2,500 balance left untouched for twelve months accrues about $1,047 in interest at this purchase rate.
A card priced at the corpus median of 21.99% would charge roughly $615 on that balance. This one charges about $432 more per year.
Small balances do not get a proportionally small bill — the agreement imposes a $2 minimum interest charge in any month where interest applies.
These figures are arithmetic on the disclosed rate, not a quote: they assume the balance is never reduced, ignore any payments, and take no account of fees charged separately.
The downside terms
A penalty APR of 39.99% sits in this filing, applied when the account falls into default as the agreement defines it. Against the 794 filings here that disclose one, that is roughly the 86th percentile.
The jump from 34.99% to 39.99% is 5 percentage points, worth roughly $218 extra per year on $3,000 of balance.
$41 is the disclosed ceiling on a late payment fee, placing it near the 89th percentile of the set.
Grace period and minimum charge
Anyone clearing the statement balance inside 23 days pays no purchase interest at all under this filing. The typical filing here allows 25 days, so this one is tighter than most.
Where interest applies at all, the filing bills at least $2. On a tiny balance that floor can dwarf the rate itself.
Against the rest of Synchrony Financial's filings

The limits of this document
Absent from the captured terms: anything about cash advances, balance transfer terms, an annual fee and a foreign transaction fee. The original document is the place to look for any of these.
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.
Where the authority sits
Everything here is a reading of the filed agreement, five pages of it, which is linked above and which governs. Terms also change between filings, so the date on the document matters.
In short
34.99% on purchases is the number that dominates this agreement. Paid in full each cycle it never applies; carried, it is among the dearer prices in this index.
The source document
This page is a reading of one document: the cardholder agreement Synchrony Financial filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Where the two disagree, the filing is correct and this page is wrong.
