Analysis
Preferred Credit's filed agreement for Retail Charge Agreement UR35 R discloses a purchase APR of 17%–18%. That purchase rate ranks near the 34th percentile across this corpus of 4,587 filings.
The disclosed terms
Preferred Credit filed this agreement for Retail Charge Agreement UR35 R with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The filing runs five pages.
Terms captured from the document include a purchase rate, a late payment maximum and a grace period. It is silent on a cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and a penalty rate.
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
Rather than a single purchase rate, the document gives a band — 17% at the bottom, 18% at the top, 1 points wide. The agreement discloses the range without disclosing how an account is placed within it.
Read against the index, the low end ranks around the 45th percentile and the high end around the 34th — the band straddles a wide stretch of the market this corpus describes.
The agreement labels the purchase rate variable, so the quoted figure reflects the index at the time of filing rather than a locked-in price.
What a balance actually costs
Put $1,500 on the card and never reduce it, and twelve months of interest at the disclosed purchase rate comes to approximately $296.
The corpus median purchase rate is 21.99%, which on the same $1,500 would cost about $369 a year. This filing saves roughly $73 annually against that benchmark.
Broken down to a single thirty-day cycle, the same balance accrues roughly $22.35.
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.
Default pricing
Late payments are capped at $35 under this filing, about the 54th percentile of late fee maximums in the corpus.
Grace period and minimum charge
Anyone clearing the statement balance inside 25 days pays no purchase interest at all under this filing. That matches the 25-day median across the corpus almost exactly.
What the filing does not tell you
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.
It is worth being explicit about scope: these filings record terms and pricing. They say nothing about rewards programmes, cardholder benefits, promotional offers or who the issuer will approve, and this review does not speculate about any of it.
Against the rest of Preferred Credit's filings
Preferred Credit has 124 agreements indexed on this site. Across that lineup purchase rates span 17.99% to 21.99%; this filing's 18% sits above 53 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
The pricing here is middling by the standards of the index — 18% on purchases is near enough to typical. Extraction confidence here is not high, so the conclusions above are provisional on the PDF agreeing with them.
