    They actually have 3 tiers:

    16.9%
    19.9%
    24.9%

    Your credit score wasn't high enough for the top APR, but there again it wasn't bad enough for the bottom APR, so your in the middle.

    The 16.9% is there typical rate, not the one you may end up with, take a gander at

    I think you'll find alot of credit companies use the line 'TYPICAL APR' but this may not be the APR you will end up with. Im not going to mention a certain High APR credit with a typical APR of 39.9% :whistle:
  • i know what card you are talking about got wrong with to many people the other day regarding the big V card..:)

    Typical APR has to be given to 66% of applicants. You're not in that 66%!

    Your credit score is different with every lender. Different lenders put differet levels of importance on different information.
