Analysis
The Hannoush Jewelers Credit Card Agreement and Pricing Addendum filing from Synchrony Financial sets out a 34.99% purchase APR and a 39.99% penalty rate. That purchase rate ranks near the 84th percentile across this corpus of 4,587 filings.
On the face of the filing
Hannoush Jewelers Credit Card Agreement and Pricing Addendum is one of the agreements Synchrony Financial has on file with the CFPB. 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.
Where the purchase APR sits
Set beside the rest of the index, the purchase APR of 34.99% lands at the 84th percentile; it lands high in the distribution.
What the rate means in dollars
Carry $2,500 on this card for a year without paying it down and the purchase rate alone generates roughly $1,047 in interest.
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.
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 23 days' grace on purchases, meaning a statement balance paid in full within that window attracts no interest. That is shorter than the 25-day corpus median.
The $2 minimum interest charge means the effective cost of carrying a very small balance is far higher than the quoted APR implies.
The downside terms
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 34.99% to 39.99% costs an extra $218 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.
Against the rest of Synchrony Financial's filings
There are 212 filings from Synchrony Financial in this index. The issuer's own range is 0%–34.99%. At 34.99%, this agreement is dearer than 35 of its siblings.
What the filing does not tell you
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.
What this analysis can address is bounded by the filing: rates, fees and the terms around them. Everything a card issuer might advertise — rewards, benefits, bonuses, who qualifies — falls outside the document and outside this review.
Go to the source
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
The defining fact about this filing is the purchase rate: at 34.99% it is in the expensive band of this corpus, and that cost only materialises for someone who revolves a balance.
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.
