Important Credit Account Changes – New Fetti Account
-
What is happening?
We are issuing you a new credit account. We’re required to do this because our agreement with our current financing partner is ending. This is a business formality, it’s not because of anything customers did. We are changing the name on the credit account too.
Welcome to the Fingerhut Fetti credit account! Fingerhut is still the store where you build your credit with your Fingerhut Fetti credit account and buy all the items you and your family need. The new name Fetti comes from the word confetti because we’re excited to celebrate your credit building success more than ever before.
And remember your credit account continues to have no annual fee.2
-
What is the Fingerhut Fetti credit account?
Fingerhut Fetti is the name of our new revolving credit account, which was previously called Fingerhut Advantage. Because our agreement with our financing partner for the Fingerhut Advantage credit account has ended, we wanted to continue to offer you the same benefits as you had with your Fingerhut Advantage credit account. This is how Fetti started! You’ll have two separate accounts now, and as of April 11, 2022, no purchases can be made with your Fingerhut Advantage credit account. You’ll continue to make your payments on this account until the balance is paid in full. Starting April 12, 2022, you’ll use your new Fingerhut Fetti credit account to make all your purchases.
-
Do I need to take any action now?
You don’t need to do anything today, but on April 12, 2022, you’ll need to complete two simple, but important steps for your new account:
- Sign into My Account to verify your account and payment information. If you have saved payment methods on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account, they will be available for you when you sign into your Fingerhut Fetti credit account.
- Download the newest version of the Fingerhut Mobile App.
You should continue to use your Fingerhut Advantage credit account through April 11, 2022.
It’s important that you continue to make payments on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account until your balance is paid in full.
-
Do I need to apply for a new credit account?
No, as a current Fingerhut Advantage credit account holder with an open account, you do not have to reapply. Starting on April 12, 2022 customer accounts that are in good standing will be transitioned to a Fingerhut Fetti credit account issued by WebBank.
It’s important that you continue to make payments on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account until your balance is paid in full.
If for any reason your Fingerhut Advantage credit account was not transitioned to a Fingerhut Fetti credit account, WebBank will communicate with you as necessary to continue to administer, make payments and service your Fingerhut Advantage credit account.

Will my credit line change?
No, your credit line will not change and will reflect the last credit line assigned to your Fingerhut Advantage credit account.
-
What is a ‘restricted line’?
Our mission is to help you build a better financial life. You do the hard work, but we are here to help. A restricted line is when a portion of your available credit is not currently available to make purchases. Your Fingerhut Fetti credit account may have a restricted line based on factors such as your balance, credit line and account history on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account.
The restricted line doesn’t change your credit line and provides you with the same available credit as you had on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account at the time of account transition. The restricted line will show up on your My Account page, with your Credit Line, Statement Balance and Available Credit.
The restricted line will be reduced, increasing your available credit, upon making at least one purchase and one payment on your new Fingerhut Fetti credit account. If you have a conditional credit line increase offer, please allow up to two weeks after the completion of your conditional credit line increase offer for the restricted line release to reflect in your available credit. We will make further reductions in your restricted line at our discretion.
The restricted line is not reported to the credit bureaus and does not factor into your credit score.
-
Will I need to update anything else in My Account?
All of your billing and shipping information from your Fingerhut Advantage credit account will be transferred to your Fingerhut Fetti credit account.
While payment methods that you saved to your Fingerhut Advantage credit account will transfer over to the Fingerhut Fetti credit account, you will need to set up new recurring scheduled payments.
Your payment information will not change on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account and it’s important that you continue to make payments on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account until your balance is paid in full.
-
How long can I keep using my Fingerhut Advantage credit account?
You should continue using your Fingerhut Advantage credit account through April 11, 2022. On April 12, 2022, the account will no longer be able to be used to make purchases. However, after this date you should continue to make payments on your Fingerhut Advantage account until the balance is paid in full. Your Fingerhut Fetti credit account will be available for use starting April 12, 2022.
There is a small possibility that orders you place on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account are charged to your Fingerhut Fetti credit account due to a delay in shipping.
You will continue to be able to access your Fingerhut Advantage credit account to make payments, through My Account as you do today. If you have previously set up payment information or recurring payments for your Fingerhut Advantage credit account, these will remain unchanged.
-
Will my monthly statement look different?
Yes, your new monthly statement will look different and will be sent from Fingerhut Fetti credit account. Look for the new Fingerhut Fetti logo to easily tell it’s the statement from your new account.
The preference you set for eStatements or paper statements on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account will be transferred to your Fingerhut Fetti credit account. You will continue to receive your Fingerhut Advantage credit account statements as you do today.
-
What will change about my due date, payments or interest rates?
There will be no changes to your current Fingerhut Advantage credit account due date. When you make a Fingerhut Fetti purchase, your Fingerhut Fetti credit account will have the same due date as your Advantage account. You will need to continue to make payments on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account until the balance is paid in full.

-
How will this impact my credit score?
As you know, there are many factors that go into your credit score. It’s very difficult for us to provide a definitive impact to your credit score, but illustratively it is possible:
- Opening a credit account typically boosts the account holders’ credit score. This is because you now have two tradelines reporting to the bureaus.
- However, an unused credit line may be closed for inactivity, which may negatively impact your credit score.
- A history of on-time payments over time will have a positive impact to your credit score.
- Similarly, it is very important to continue to keep making payments on your Fingerhut Advantage credit account. If this account becomes delinquent it will negatively impact your credit score.
People sometimes think closing an account takes away from a person’s credit history and hurts their FICO® Score, but that’s not true. Your FICO Score looks at the length of both open and closed accounts. Closed accounts will be a part of your credit history on your credit report for many years. This info is from a great FICO Blog article. You can read it here. https://www.fico.com/blogs/more-scoring-myths-closing-credit-cards

-
¿Cómo afectará esto mi puntaje crediticio?
Como usted sabe, hay muchos factores que se tienen en cuenta en su puntaje crediticio. Es muy difícil para nosotros brindar el impacto definitivo que tendrá en su puntaje crediticio, pero de manera ilustrativa es posible:
- Abrir una cuenta de crédito normalmente aumenta la puntuación de crédito de los titulares de la cuenta. Esto se debe a que ahora tiene dos líneas de crédito reportando a las agencias.
- Sin embargo, una línea de crédito no utilizada puede cerrarse por inactividad, lo que puede afectar negativamente su puntaje crediticio.
- Un historial de pagos puntuales a lo largo del tiempo tendrá un impacto positivo en su puntaje crediticio.
- Del mismo modo, es muy importante que continúe realizando pagos en su cuenta de crédito Fingerhut Advantage. Si esta cuenta cae en mora, tendrá un impacto negativo en su puntaje crediticio.
Las personas a veces piensan que cerrar una cuenta le resta historial crediticio a una persona y perjudica su FICO® Score, pero eso no es cierto. Su FICO Score analiza la duración de las cuentas abiertas y cerradas. Las cuentas cerradas formarán parte de su historial de crédito en su informe de crédito durante muchos años. Esta información es de un excelente artículo del blog de FICO. Puede leerlo aquí. https://www.fico.com/blogs/more-scoring-myths-closing-credit-cards

States requiring sales tax are subject to change. We reserve the right to charge or collect applicable sales tax for your order. Therefore, your final sales tax charge may vary from what you see on the Order Review page of checkout. Sales tax amounts are calculated based on the address the purchase will be shipped to. Please note the type of product you purchase may affect the sales tax rate, additional sales tax might be charged by local governments, and sales tax laws change frequently. For states imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase is subject to tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it was made over the Internet, by catalog, or by other remote means. Many states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. It is possible that you may be responsible for the payment of sales/use taxes on your orders, even though we are not required to collect sales/use taxes from you. In these situations, our listing of $0 tax at time of order does not mean that you are not responsible for the payment of taxes on the order. Rather, it means that we are not required to collect sales/use tax at the time of the order. It is your responsibility as the purchaser to pay sales/use taxes. Details on how to file these returns may be found at the state taxing authority's website. Also see: Individual States/Sales/Use Tax Information

Products sold in sets must be returned as complete sets; partial returns will not be accepted. Face masks, hand sanitizer, and all Clearance sales are final sale and not eligible for return or exchange. Personalized/customized products may be returned for credit if they are damaged or defective only; exchanges are for the exact item only.
Mattresses, mattress sets, box springs, and foundations that are delivered through our Premium In-Home Delivery (Ship Codes O-R) must be inspected upon delivery, before removing the packaging, and signing a shipping receipt. These items can only be returned for a refund if unopened and delivery is refused.

Shipping
-
Why can't I ship my order to an address besides my billing address?
When you place your first order with us, and you use your Fingerhut Credit, the billing and shipping address need to match. We do this for your protection as we want to ensure the order is being shipped to you, the account holder. Subsequent orders, you have the ability to change your shipping address.
If you would like to change the address on your first order, you can use an alternate method of payment, i.e. Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.

You may view the shipping and handling charges here.

Deferral Periods
You may be eligible for Deferred Payments, which are periods of time when you are not required to make payments on a specific purchase.

Deferred Payments:
Monthly payments on the deferred purchase are not required during the Deferral Period.
Interest will be charged at the monthly periodic rate on your deferred purchase from the date of purchase. Interest charged during the Deferral Period will be added to your deferred balance, even if you pay off your deferred balance before the expiration of the Deferral Period.

-
Why was I charged interest while my order was on deferral?
The deferral period can be a helpful tool to manage your monthly budget while there are no monthly payments due. The deferral period is a time where we don't require a minimum payment due from you. However, interest will still be charged at the monthly periodic rate on your deferred purchase from the date of purchase. The deferral period only applies to the purchase you applied the offer to. Please remember payments may still be due for existing balances on your account.
-
Why isn't my balance going down?
Paying more than your monthly minimum due can help pay down your balance faster. The time it takes to pay your entire balance down will depend on factors such as how much more than your minimum you are paying, how often you make additional payments, any fees like late fees that are assessed, services you have enrolled in, and additional purchases you make over time.
-
Is there a penalty for paying more than my minimum balance?
No, if you wish, you may pay more than the minimum payment and at any time you may pay the entire new balance, without penalty.
-
Is there a fee to keep my account open?
No, you are not charged a separate annual fee to maintain your account.

What is a Credit Score?
A credit score is a rating that results from looking at several pieces of information about your credit. A credit score is used by a lender to help decide whether or not you should be approved for a credit card, loan, or service.
A credit score helps lenders decide the risk involved in extending a line of credit. Usually, the lower the score, the higher the risk.
You can request a free copy of your credit report each year from each of the three credit bureaus.
Go to www.annualcreditreport.com/or call 1-877-322-8228.
You may also contact the nationwide consumer credit reporting bureaus:
Equifax - www.equifax.com/or 1-800-685-1111

What is debt-to-income ratio?
A debt-to-income ratio is one way to measure how financially stable you are. You divide monthly minimum debt payments (excluding mortgage or rent payments) by monthly gross income. Your monthly gross income is what you make before taxes and anything else are taken out.
The lower your debt-to-income ratio, the better off you are. A good debt-to-income ratio is less than 36 percent. If it's higher than 36 percent, you should think about making some changes for a better financial situation.

SafeLine Account Protection

I want to cancel SafeLine®
SafeLine® Account Protection Plus is an optional benefit on your account and you may cancel at any time. You can cancel your coverage by: visiting safelinesupport.fingerhut.com and choosing the option to cancel, by calling SafeLine Services at 1-800-701-2546, or by writing to SafeLine Services, P.O. Box 740237, Atlanta GA 30374-0237. If no benefits were honored, at the time of cancelation your credit account could be refunded the current month's SafeLine fees.
-
How does SafeLine® "cover my current month's minimum payment" on my account?
The term "cover your current month's minimum payment" applies when your benefits are approved for a qualifying event, like involuntary unemployment or having a disabling accident. This means that WebBank will credit the current month's minimum monthly payment of principal and interest due (referred to in the SafeLine Terms & Conditions as "Monthly Benefit Payment"), which does not include any past due or delinquent payments, on your credit account during the benefit activation period. You will not be required to make a payment on your credit account while your benefits are active. In addition, late, over limit, and SafeLine Account Protection Plus fees will not be assessed during a billing period in which benefits are active. Your account will be suspended, which means you will be unable to use your credit account while benefits are activated. Interest will continue to accrue on your outstanding balance, and during those billing periods no reports reflecting a deteriorating credit status with us will be sent to any credit reporting agency

¿Cómo SafeLine® "cubre el pago mínimo de mi mes actual" en mi cuenta?
El término "cubrir el pago mínimo de su mes actual" se aplica cuando se aprueban sus beneficios para un evento elegible, como el desempleo involuntario o un accidente incapacitante. Esto significa que WebBank acreditará el pago mínimo mensual del mes en curso del principal y los intereses adeudados (a los que se hace referencia en los Términos y Condiciones de SafeLine como "Pago de Beneficio Mensual"), que no incluye ningún pago vencido o atrasado, en su cuenta de crédito durante el período de activación del beneficio. No se le pedirá que haga un pago en su cuenta de crédito mientras sus beneficios estén activos. Además, los cargos por pagos atrasados, por exceso de límite y de SafeLine Account Protection Plus no se cobrarán durante un período de facturación en el que los beneficios estén activos. Su cuenta quedará suspendida, lo que significa que no podrá usar su cuenta de crédito mientras los beneficios estén activados. Los intereses seguirán acumulándose en su saldo pendiente y, durante esos períodos de facturación, no se enviarán informes que reflejen un deterioro del estado crediticio con nosotros a ninguna agencia de informes crediticios.

Military Lending Act
-
Will my MLA protections still apply if I graduate from a WebBank / Fingerhut FreshStart® Credit Account?
Whether you will receive MLA protection for your WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account upon graduating from a WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart® Credit Account will depend on when you graduate and your status as a covered borrower at that time.
If you graduate from a closed-end WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart® Credit Account before October 3, 2017, the MLA protections will not apply to your new open-end WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account.
If you graduate from a closed-end WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart® Credit Account after October 3, 2017 and you are a covered borrower at that time, the MLA protections will apply to your new open-end WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account.
If you graduate from a closed-end WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart® Credit Account after October 3, 2017 and you are not a covered borrower at that time, the MLA protections will not apply to your new open-end WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account.
-
What protection does the MLA give me as a covered borrower?
If you are a covered borrower, your protection includes:
A 36% interest cap. Your total monthly interest cannot be more than the 36% Military Annual Percentage Rate (MAPR), which is calculated by including all of the following costs:
interest
fees
credit service charges
credit renewal charges
credit insurance premiums
other fees for credit-related products sold in connection with the loan
Written and oral disclosure. We must share the interest rates and other fees you owe, both orally and in writing, before your loan is issued.
No mandatory waivers of consumer protection laws. We cannot require you to waive any state or federal law that protects you from being sued while on active duty.
No mandatory arbitration. We cannot require you to arbitrate disputes about your account.
No mandatory allotments. We cannot require you to make automatic paycheck deductions to repay your balance.
No prepayment penalty. We cannot charge a penalty if you pay your balance early.
-
What is the Military Lending Act (MLA)?
The Military Lending Act (MLA) provides credit account protections for service members placed on active duty and certain members of their family. The active duty service members and their families who are eligible for MLA protection are referred to as "covered borrowers."
-
When is covered borrower status determined under the MLA?
For closed-end accounts, like the WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart® Credit Account, whether you are a covered borrower is determined at the time you make a purchase.
For open-end accounts, like the WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account, whether you are a covered borrowed is determined at the time you open your account.
-
Who is a "covered borrower" under the MLA?
For closed-end credit accounts, like the WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart® Credit Account, you are a covered borrower if you are an active duty service member, their spouse, child, or other dependent at the time of purchase.
For open-end accounts, like the revolving WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account, you are a covered borrower if you are an active duty service member, their spouse, child, or other dependent at the time you open your account.
-
Where can I find more information about the MLA?
To learn more about the MLA and how it may apply to your specific circumstances, you may contact your local Judge Advocate General's (JAG) office.
-
Do I have to be a covered borrower to get MLA protection?
Yes. You must qualify as a covered borrower to get MLA account protection.
-
How long do the MLA protections last?
The MLA protections remain in place as long as you continue to be a covered borrower.
-
FICO Scores
-
How often will I receive my FICO® Score?
Scores are updated monthly.
-
Will receiving a FICO® Score impact my credit?
No. The FICO® Score we provide to you will not impact your credit.
-
How do I check my credit report?
Because your FICO® Score is based on the information in your credit report, it is important to make sure that the credit report information is accurate. You may get a free copy of your credit report annually. To request a copy of your credit report, please visit: http://www.annualcreditreport.com. Note: Your free credit report will not include your FICO® Score.
-
Why are you providing FICO® Scores?
Reviewing your FICO® Scores can help you learn how lenders view your credit risk and allow you to better understand your financial health.
-
Why do credit scores fluctuate / change?
There are many reasons why a score may change. FICO® Scores are calculated each time they are requested, taking into consideration the information that is in your credit file from a particular consumer reporting agency (CRA) at that time. So, as the information in your credit file at that CRA changes, FICO® Scores can also change. Review your key score factors, which explain what factors from your credit report most affected a score. Comparing key score factors from the two different time periods can help identify causes for a change in a FICO® Score. Keep in mind that certain events such as late payments or bankruptcy can lower FICO® Scores quickly.
-
What are FICO® Scores?
FICO® Scores are numbers that summarize your credit risk. Scores are based on a snapshot of your credit file at particular consumer reporting agencies at a particular point in time, and help lenders evaluate your credit risk. FICO® Scores influence the credit that's available to you and the terms, such as interest rate, that lenders offer you.
-
How are FICO® Scores calculated?
FICO® Scores are calculated from many different pieces of credit data in your credit report. This data is grouped into five categories as outlined below. The percentages in the chart reflect how important each of the categories is in determining how FICO® Scores are calculated:
35% Payment history
30% Outstanding debt
15% Credit history length
10% Pursuit of new credit
10% Credit mix
-
Where does the information used to calculate my FICO® Score come from?
A FICO® Score is based on the credit information in a credit file with a particular consumer reporting agency (CRA) at the time the score is calculated. The information in your credit files is supplied by lenders, collection agencies and court records. The FICO® Score that we provide to you is based on data from your report as of the 'pulled on date' shown with your score.

Is it safe to receive a package from a warehouse in an area where COVID-19 has been reported?
According to the CDC, it may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but the CDC is still learning more about the virus. We suggest you check the CDC website for the most current information and advice.
