i've got this card and in the account benefits section when you online it says:

Quote:

Calculate the award for each billing period based upon the annual level of Net Purchases.


(notice nothing about first 3 months, 6 months or 1 year, looks like forever). Also this confuses me.. does that mean i get ALL that or just the one that gives me the most money per billing cycle? could someone explain?

Every one of these has an * by it saying to please refer to my rewards brochure for specific details.

In my brochure is says:
Quote:

You will earn 5 points per $1 spent on Net Purchases made at retail establishments that classify their merchant location for Visa/Mastercard as a gas station, grocery store or drugstore and 1 point per $1.00 spent on Net Purchases Everywhere else


notice it says nothing about the first 12 months or anything of the sort.

so does that mean if you go into a store/gas station etc etc and they have the Visa/Mastercard logo on their window then that means they classify themselves for Visa/Mastercard or what does that mean?

also what does that mean for me as far as all the benefits online via my account versus what this brochure says. i am thoroughly confused.
