What this filing discloses
What follows is drawn entirely from Synchrony Financial's CFPB filing for Blish Mize Credit Card Account Agreement and Pricing Addendum. The filing runs five pages.
Terms captured from the document include 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.
The purchase APR against the corpus
The purchase APR of 34.99% places this agreement around the 84th percentile of the set — it sits in the expensive end of the corpus.
What a balance actually costs
Carry $2,000 on this card for a year without paying it down and the purchase rate alone generates roughly $837 in interest.
Against the corpus median of 21.99%, that is approximately $346 a year of extra interest on the same $2,000.
Month to month it reads as about $58.32 per cycle on that balance.
Note the $2 minimum interest charge, which overrides the arithmetic above whenever the calculated interest falls below it.
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.
When a payment is late
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.
The maximum late fee is $41 — roughly the 89th percentile of the late fee ceilings disclosed across this index.
The no-interest path
Anyone clearing the statement balance inside 23 days pays no purchase interest at all under this filing. That is shorter than the 25-day corpus median.
A minimum interest charge of $2 applies in any cycle where interest is due, which makes very small revolving balances disproportionately expensive.
The limits of this document
This page cannot tell you anything about cash advances, balance transfer terms, an annual fee and a foreign transaction fee, because the filing's disclosure table as read does not contain them.
More broadly, a CFPB agreement filing is a legal and pricing document. It does not describe rewards, benefits, sign-up offers, eligibility or approval criteria, and nothing of that kind has been inferred on this page. Where a card has features of that sort, they live outside this document entirely.
Inside Synchrony Financial's filed lineup

The filed PDF is linked from this page and runs five pages. It is the authority for every figure summarised above; where this page and the document disagree, the document is right.
In short
This is an expensive agreement by the standards of the corpus, driven by a 34.99% purchase rate that is inert for a transactor and punishing for a revolver.
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.
