AADVANTAGE PROGRAM

Your MCB AAdvantage Visa Platinum card allows you the opportunity to earn AAdvantage miles for your purchases under the AAdvantage program of American Airlines. Each month, your American Airlines AAdvantage account will be credited with AAdvantage miles equivalent to the US dollar value of purchases posted to your MCB AAdvantage Visa Platinum card monthly statement less the US dollar value of purchases credited to your account on the same monthly statement. If purchases credited exceed purchases posted on your MCB AAdvantage Visa Platinum card monthly statement, no AAdvantage miles will be credited to your AAdvantage account. The excess purchase credits will be subtracted from purchases posted to subsequent statement(s) for the purpose of determining miles to be credited to your AAdvantage account. The MCB AAdvantage Visa Platinum card is for personal use only, therefore the use of the MCB AAdvantage Visa Platinum for commercial use does not entitle the cardholder to accumulate miles.

During that period, the cardholder must support the claim as required. No payment will be made until the Visa Auto Rental Insurance Program Administrator has received all necessary documentation at its offices.

What else should the cardholder do?Normally, nothing else. In normal circumstances, the claim will be paid within a period of 15 days from the date the Claims Administrator receives all required documentation. However, as soon as the claim is paid, all rights against any person in connection with the damage or theft will be transferred to the Insurance Provider.

This means that the Insurance Provider will have the right to file suit on its own in the cardholder's name. The cardholder will assist the Insurance Provider in any way, as reasonably requested by Insurance Provider, in order to help the Insurance Provider enforce any rights or recourse the Insurance Provider may have, including the execution of all documents required by the Insurance Provider to file suit in the cardholder's name.

General Program ProvisionsThe cardholder will do his best to avoid or reduce any losses or dama- ges to the property insured under this program. Please keep in mind that the Insurance Provider will not apply this provision unreasonably to avoid a claim. If the cardholder makes any claim knowing it to be false or fraudulent in any respect, he will no longer be entitled to the benefits of this protection, nor to the payment of any claim made under this policy. This insurance is subject to the terms and conditions described and includes certain restrictions, limitations and exclusions. In the event of any discrepancy between the policy and the description of the

We are empowered to cancel or decline renewal of any MCB AAdvantage Visa Platinum cardholder's insurance coverage. If we do so, we will give cardholders at least 60 days advance notice. If the Insurance Company does not renew or cancels any coverage provided to Visa cardholders, cardholders will be notified at least 60 to 120 days prior to the date the policy expires. In the event a substantially similar coverage becomes effective without interruption, said notice will not be required. The Auto Rental Insurance will continue to apply to rentals that were effective prior to the date of cancellation or non-renewal, provided all other terms and conditions of coverage are met.
