THE GARLAN’S CREDIT CARD
How does the Garlan’s Credit card work?
Very simple. The Garlan’s Credit card program is a revolving charge account that works in much the same way any major bank or department store charge accounts work today. You are assigned a credit limit based on the information you provided when you applied and you can charge your purchases to your account up to the provided credit limit without leaving any type of down payment or deposit. Your available credit is reduced by the amount you currently owe and your available credit increases by the amount of payment or return that you make. At present Garlan’s charges a 23.99% annual or 1.92 monthly interest rate and we use the average daily balance method to calculate finance charges. Minimum payments are determined by the balance of your account at the end of the billing cycle. All payments are due by the 23rd of every month. We do not charge annual membership fees.
