Dell Preferred Account is a revolving line of credit which allows you to pay for your purchase all at once or gives you the flexibility to make monthly payments. This account is offered by WebBank and serviced by Dell Financial Services. With this account there is no prepayment penalty. You may also qualify for promotions and discounts on future purchases.

You can use your Dell Preferred Account to shop online at Dell.com, including refurbished online at DellOutlet.com and over the phone at 1-800-WWW-DELL.

Interest will be charged to your account from the transaction posting date if the promotional balance is not paid in full by the end of the promotional period, or if you make a late payment. Minimum monthly payments are required but may not pay your promotional balance by the end of the promotional period due to purchase amount, promotion length, additional purchases or allocation of payments in excess of the minimum payment (see minimum payment question for additional information). If not paid by the end of the promotional period, account balance and new purchases will be subject to your Standard APR rate as found on your DPA Credit Agreement. Offers subject to credit approval and may be changed without notice. Minimum purchase amount may be required.

No, we are unable to transfer balances to this account from other credit cards. The Dell Preferred Account is solely for purchases of products offered on dell.com or other Dell participating retailers. For more information please see the information provided in response to “Where can I use my Dell Preferred Account?”.

No. When pre-qualifying for a DPA, your credit report is requested from a credit reporting agency. This is a soft inquiry that won’t impact your score.

If you decide to open a DPA you will need to submit a complete application. Your credit will be pulled at the time of submission. This is a hard inquiry which may have an impact on your score.

No. Unlike some other popular forms of payment, you don't need to re-apply every time you use your DPA. DPA is a revolving line of credit, available for use as long as the account is open and in good standing.

Most customers receive a credit decision within seconds of submitting their DPA application.

No. DPA does require minimum monthly payments, but customers can pay more than the minimum amount at any time to fit their situation. Interest will continue to accrue on any unpaid balance on the account.

Yes, minimum monthly payments are required. Your Minimum Payment Due is the greater of either $20 or 3% of the New Balance shown on your billing statement (excluding any balance on a Planned Payment Purchase prior to its expiration date) rounded up to the next dollar, plus any Monthly Planned Payment Due, plus the sum of all past due amounts. If your purchase qualified for a financing promotion, the required minimum monthly payments may not pay off your purchase in full by the end of the promotional period due to purchase amount, promotion length, additional purchases or allocation of payments in excess of the minimum payment.

During the last two months of any promotional offer consisting of a No Interest if paid in full Credit Plan, amounts paid over the Minimum Payment Due will be applied to the remaining balance of the No Interest if paid in full Credit Plan about to expire.

Approval is based on creditworthiness, as determined by WebBank. Customers not eligible for the lowest available rate or a promotional financing feature may still be offered financing. Increasing the amount paid each month can reduce the total finance charges on your account.
