Submit my application. I have read the terms and pricing disclosures (see below) for this account and by electronically transmitting this application, I indicate my agreement with each of the terms and conditions.

I have read this application, and everything I have stated in it is true. I authorize MBNA America Bank, N.A. (MBNA), to check my credit, employment history, or any other information and to report to others such information and credit experience with me. I understand that the acceptance or use of any card issued will be subject to the terms of this application and the Credit Card Agreement that will be sent with the card, and I agree to be responsible for all charges incurred, according to such terms. I am at least 18 years of age and a U.S. resident.

I consent to and authorize MBNA, any of its affiliates, or its marketing associates to monitor and/or record any of my telephone conversations with any of their representatives to better ensure quality service.

I understand that all credit decisions are made at the sole discretion of MBNA America, and that if my application for the Platinum Plus Card is not approved, this request constitutes my application for the Preferred Card. I accept that on a periodic basis I may be considered for an automatic upgrade to the Platinum Plus Card at the discretion of MBNA.

†-MORE APR INFORMATION-
The current promotional Annual Percentage Rate (APR) offer for cash advance checks and balance transfers is 5.9% through your first five statement closing dates, commencing the month after your account is opened.

MBNA may allocate your payments to balances (including new transactions) with lower APRs before balances with higher APRs.
