The Special Interest Term is calculated based on Cardmember statement cycle. Regardless of the date the balance transfer amount is debited from the Card Account, the date of the Card Statement issued immediately after such debit shall be calculated as the 1st month. Upon the approval of the Cardmembers application to participate in the Program, the amount equivalent to the Outstanding Balance to be settled will be earmarked from the Cardmembers Credit Limit for this purpose and shall not be available for use by the Cardmember until settlement of the Outstanding Balance transferred pursuant to the Program. The Cardmember shall continue and remain liable to the other credit and/or charge card issuers in respect of the cards issued by them in accordance with their respective terms and in allowing the Cardmember to participate in the Program, no obligations or liabilities are assumed by the Bank vis a vis the other credit and/or charge card issuers.
