Analysis

Retail Charge Agreement CT17 W, as filed by Preferred Credit, carries a 17.99% purchase APR. Against the 4,587 filings on this site, that rate lands around the 28th percentile.

What the document actually states

Retail Charge Agreement CT17 W is one of the agreements Preferred Credit has on file with the CFPB. The filing runs five pages.

The filing is explicit about a purchase rate and a grace period. A cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and a penalty rate are not stated.

These figures carry medium extraction confidence — they are reproduced as read from the filing, which remains the authority.

How the purchase rate compares

17.99% puts the purchase APR near the 28th percentile across 2,280 agreements, so it sits below the middle of the distribution.

What the rate means in dollars

The purchase rate turns a $3,000 revolving balance into roughly $591 of annual interest.

Measured against the 21.99% corpus median, the same $3,000 costs approximately $146 less per year here.

Month to month it reads as about $44.68 per cycle on that balance.

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.

Paying in full

The filing gives 25 days' grace on purchases, meaning a statement balance paid in full within that window attracts no interest. That matches the 25-day median across the corpus almost exactly.

A minimum interest charge of $0.50 applies in any cycle where interest is due, which makes very small revolving balances disproportionately expensive.

What is outside the disclosure

The disclosure parsed here does not state anything about cash advances, balance transfer terms, an annual fee and a foreign transaction fee. 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

Preferred Credit has 124 agreements indexed on this site. Across that lineup purchase rates span 17.99% to 21.99%; this filing's 17.99% sits above 0 of the comparable ones.

Reading the agreement yourself

This summary stands or falls on the linked PDF — five pages. Agreements are amended over time, and the filing reflects the terms as submitted rather than as they stand today.

In short

At 17.99% the purchase rate is close to ordinary for this corpus; nothing in the rate table sets this filing far apart from its peers. Given the parsing confidence on this filing, read the agreement itself before treating any of these figures as settled.

The source document
