This Cardholder Agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions under which a AAA Card (“Card”) has been issued to you by Pathward, National Association. By accepting and using this Card, signing the back of the Card, activating the Card, or authorizing any person to use the Card, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. In this Agreement “You” and “your” mean the person or persons who have received the Card and are authorized to use the Card. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean collectively, Pathward, a federally-chartered bank, Member FDIC, and its divisions or assignees. You should sign the back of the Card immediately upon receipt. The Card may be canceled or revoked at any time without prior notice, subject to applicable law. Please read this Agreement carefully and keep it for future reference. This Agreement applies to both the purchaser and any other user of the Card.

ABOUT YOUR CARD

The Card is a prepaid Card loaded with a specific amount of funds, redeemable to buy goods and services at AAA and is redeemable in the United States ONLY. No additional funds may be added to this Card. The Card is NOT a credit Card. The Card is not a checking account or connected in any way to any account other than a stored value account where your funds are held. Pathward, N.A. will act as custodian of your funds upon its receipt of your funds. Once your Card is activated, you will be able to provide Pathward, as custodian, with instructions about the funds accessible through the Card. Activation of the Card authorizes us to hold your funds at Pathward or as custodian to place your funds at one or more participating banks (each a “Program Bank”). If you do not agree to your funds being held by us at Pathward or placed by Pathward as custodian at other Program Banks, please immediately spend all the funds on your Card [or contact Customer Service above to cancel the Card and request your funds in the form of a paper check at no charge]. Card funds are not FDIC insured.

USING YOUR CARD

• Accessing Funds and Limitations
  You may use your Card at physical AAA retail locations within the United States ONLY. Each time you use your Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available on your Card by the amount of the transaction. Your Card cannot be: (1) redeemed for its cash value, except as required by law; (2) used to obtain cash in any transaction; (3) used for illegal transactions; (4) used to make foreign transactions; or (5) used for purchases where recurring payments may occur, such as subscriptions, memberships, rentals, etc. For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of transactions you can make on your Card. We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EXCEED THE

• BALANCE OF THE FUNDS AVAILABLE ON YOUR CARD. If you attempt to use the Card when there are insufficient funds associated with it, the transaction will generally be declined. Nevertheless, if a transaction that exceeds the balance of the funds available on your Card occurs due to a systems malfunction or otherwise, you will remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction. If you do not have enough funds available on your Card, you may be able to instruct the merchant perform a “split transaction” to charge part of the purchase to the Card and pay the remaining amount with another form of payment.
  Your card is valid in the U.S. only. It cannot be used at physical AAA retail locations or the AAA website outside of the United States.

• Obtaining Card Balance Information
  You may obtain information about the amount of money you have remaining on your Card, along with a history of Card transactions, by visiting our Website. This information is also available at no charge by contacting Customer Service.

• Authorization Holds
  You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase transaction originated by use of your card. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds.

• Returns and Refunds
  If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card, the return and refund will be handled by the merchant. If the merchant credits your Card, the credit may not be immediately available. While merchant refunds post as soon as they are received, please note that we have no control over when a merchant sends a credit transaction and the refund may not be available for several days after the date the refund transaction occurs.

• Receipts
  You may wish to retain receipts as a record of transactions. You may need a receipt in order to verify a transaction with us or the merchant.

You may not use the Card after the “Valid Thru” date. However, even if the “Valid Thru” date has passed, the available funds on your Card do not expire. You will not be charged a fee for replacement cards that we send due to the expiration of the Card.
