"you can request that we cover overlimit transactions by opting in as instructed below.....we will charge you $39".

This doesn't make since in the fees section it states that they will charge you up to $35.

Some things to ponder.
I've never seen a Visa Signature or World Mastercard that charged for going over your credit limit. Also, the point remains that one has much more protection when using credit than debit.
