What this filing discloses
This page covers the agreement Synchrony Financial filed for House Hassan 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. It is silent on a cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and an annual fee line.
Pricing the purchase rate
Set beside the rest of the index, the purchase APR of 34.99% lands at the 84th percentile; it is costlier than the large majority of filings here.
Translating the rate into money
Put $2,500 on the card and never reduce it, and twelve months of interest at the disclosed purchase rate comes to approximately $1,047.
Against the corpus median of 21.99%, that is approximately $432 a year of extra interest on the same $2,500.
Month to month it reads as about $72.91 per cycle on that balance.
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.
That is 5 points above the standard purchase rate. On a $2,000 balance, the shift from 34.99% to 39.99% adds something like $145 of interest over a year — the real cost of the default, quite apart from the fee itself.
Late payments are capped at $41 under this filing, about the 89th percentile of late fee maximums in the corpus.
The grace period
The filing gives 23 days' grace on purchases, meaning a statement balance paid in full within that window attracts no interest. With a corpus median of 25 days, this window is narrower than the norm.
Where interest applies at all, the filing bills at least $2. On a tiny balance that floor can dwarf the rate itself.
What you cannot learn from the filing
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.
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.

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.
