    Discover's dispute policy doesn't favor its clients. I closed my account with Discover after 3-4 years because of a dispute claim where Discover ruled five times in favor of a company I was scammed by. I proved through receipts, phone and email records, and legal documents sent by the scam company that I was owed a refund, and Discover still refused to rule in my favor. Not to mention its automatic rewards never went through, and I couldn't transfer my cashback to my bank account (pictured). Overall, horrible experience dealing with this company. It's apparent they want their money at whatever cost (despite Discover Financial Services making a net income of $4.5 billion in 2024).

    Worse company that I ever had a card with. I had a false recurring charges from one company. I filed a dispute and was told that we will wait for 1 month for the company to provide a proof and if they are unable to provide us with any proof then these charges will be reversed permanently. Yesterday I saw those charges came back, so I called Discover and now they are telling me that the merchant never got back to us or provided us any proof but we didn't get any proof from you. I asked what kind of proof you want from me when I never signed up or bought anything from this merchant, so how could I have any proof. She kept on repeating herself that if both parties do not provide any proof we put those charges back on our customer card. I never heard anything more stupid than this. I have other cards and never had such a bad experience. I will be closing my cards with Discover and will be advising everyone to be careful with this scam company.

    By far the worst company I’ve banked with. I think this company should be advertised for teenagers because all of the restrictions that it has. They stay doing maintenance on their site and maintenance causes you to not be able to use your funds because they lock everything. They have a low limit cap on the money you can send. And they restrict you from different websites and places you want to shop in store. This is by far the worst company I’ve had and I expressed that every time I call them I asked to leave a customer complaint.

    Absolute worst credit card in the world. Do not use!!! After 20 years of being a equal client paying my bill every single month for 20 years and then ultimately completely paying it off over a year ago. Properly contacting me and making sure that I was aware that they were gonna close my account for inactivity after 20 years. They hurt my credit by closing the account and then when I found out within 90 days would not reinstate the account or have anything or offer me anything to actually deal with what they’ve done to my credit and me as a customer. Mess up your credit! Work with the Discover card. Totally terrible business practices. There should be laws to protect us against them hurting our credit report, especially if you’ve paid your bill a month for 20 years. Absolutely unacceptable I will take every opportunity to speak poorly of Discover card every opportunity and every chance I get for the rest of my life..

    Discover is the worst. Don't do it. I have had their card for almost 7 years. I have 2 interest rates at the same time. They won't take one off or even convert them together. I pay about $10 more than minimum and the whole payment gets eaten up by the interest charges so the amount owed never goes down. They refuse to put a hold on charging interest so I can pay down the amount owed.

    I received multiple letters from Discover (pre-approved) trying to get me to apply for a card. After receiving one telling me that I was ‘approved’ and to just activate my account, I decided to do it. Not only did they immediately tell me that I was not approved, they also caused a 67-point drop on my credit score. Calls to Discover were pointless. Do like I should have done and shred any offer you get. It is a hard lesson learned.

    As an account holder, I receive emails offering me as a "valued customer" expedient loan rates with fast approval. Beware! When you respond to an already approved offer, and don't react then but respond later a "do not lend" is put in your credit rating data just for looking and then later actually apply. That flags your credit profile as multiple seeking and then your "approved loan" response is cancelled. And automatically rejects your application elsewhere. No matter one's FICO score is almost 800. The fact you compared offers from competing sources results in being barred from loans all over.

    Discover should not be using loan approvals to "valued customers" as it is fraudulent and will in fact your ability to confirm your intent with Discover (an owned card company by CapitalOne whose business model is based upon "for every customer we lose, we get 5 new ones" which means they can celebrate getting 5 new ones.

    I paid off my Discover credit card in full several months ago and believed my account had a zero balance. An unauthorized charge was made in October 2025, but because my account was paperless and I received no alerts, I was completely unaware of the charge or that payments were due despite Discover having my contact information.

    Late fees were allowed to accumulate without any attempt by Discover to contact me, which is especially frustrating given my 10+ years as a customer with a PERFECT payment history. A single notification after the first missed payment would have resolved this immediately. Once I discovered the issue, Discover refused to help. I paid the balance in full again and closed my account. I’m leaving this review to warn others that this experience showed a serious lack of customer communication and accountability.

    Discover is absolutely insane. The customer service agents are rude and insist they cannot help with the simplest matters. Zelle payments do not go through instantly (even though they advertise as an instant service- both zelle and discover). I have had a discover account for 3 years and they still have insanely low deposit limits/withdrawal limits and essentially hold my money hostage. They lied to my face about a limit having been set by zelle instead of them, and then when I 3-way called with zelle back, they admitted it was a limit set by them and refused to remove it.

    Let me preface this by saying I've been a loyal Discover user since 2017, I've never once missed a payment, and that I did previously have an account closed years ago for fraudulent activity after I lost my wallet. Fast forward to the beginning of 2025, I ran up my credit card in December of 2024. Naturally, my monthly payments were higher because I didn't pay everything off right away. I don't thoroughly check my account regularly. I sign in, pay the monthly payment each month and then move on. Come October of 2025, I notice that my balance has gone significantly up. I figured maybe it was the interest payments, but then I started looking through my history.

    In January of 2025, somebody got access to an old account I had that was ALREADY MARKED AND "CLOSED" for fraudulent activity. They used my account for $1200 WORTH OF DOORDASH PURCHASES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. Naturally, I was.... unhappy. So, I called Discover customer support and filled them in on what happened. They reviewed the charges and decided to refund my money, which only makes sense because the account that was being used to purchase DoorDash was one I was told was already closed years prior.

    Wonderful! What an awesome company that I respect for making things so easy. But wait, there's more. A month later, I log back in to find that the $1200 worth of charges were put back onto my account. What? Must be a mistake. They wouldn't do that right? Nope. They told me they reviewed the charges and had no evidence of fraud because I was being charged since January and didn't mention it before. So, I tried to explain that I didn't know I was being charged because I don't get notifications from that old account BECAUSE THEY CLOSED IT. YEARS AGO. YEARS. As far as I'm concerned, I firmly believe that somebody working in their fraud department found my old fraudulent account and reopened it to dine on Wendy's three times a day. I hope the heart disease comes early, truly. What a disgusting company.

    So, I have no option but to make my payments so I don't tank my credit score. Thanks, Discover. I'd love to lay down a long line of expletives here to really pour my feelings into this review, but I don't want to risk robbing people the ability to read how you've taken me from the back repeatedly over the last several months. Thanks.

    I am very disappointed in how Discover helped with a dispute I had with a company called Vitality. I supplied them with multiple messages showing that I have been trying to get a refund since December 8th and have just been put off. I even included the return policy. There are multiple reviews showing others have had issues getting a return label and refund. Very disappointed that Discover found the dispute in their favor. Why are you allowing scam companies to take advantage of your customers? So at this point, all I can do is use the money and keep this defective product.

    I have had a credit card with them for 10 years, and always paid on time. I paid off my credit card back in August 2025. The remaining amount was interest fees, so I assumed that this was finally paid off, so I removed my auto pay because they will take money out of your account even if there is no balance owed. I checked my account today (January 2026) and they have been charging me a late fee with NO NOTICE, which was $200 in late fees - I have not received any emails, any notifications in my mail, NOTHING about this.

    I called asking for a one time courtesy to remove these fees and I'd be happy to pay off my balance immediately, and unfortunately they will not waive fees. Shame on you Discover. I have now closed my account as I can't stomach giving this company any more of my money as I am sure they have already made thousands off me throughout the years, they should give customers a one time courtesy on this, especially when there is no notification.

I always pay off my entire balance every month so I went to check my bank to see if the payment had cleared. Nope. So I call customer service hoping that since I've been a loyal pay-on-time customer since 1992 and never had a problem that they would find the problem and hopefully refund me the $30.00 late charge.

Here I am again, 23rd and paying January bill so I have no idea what happened in Dec but I will start to write down the confirmation number they provide when making a payment.

    Did the payment fail to make on their system and I didn't catch that or was it my error? I don't know what happened but I would think they would have a better system in place for any honest mistake with a payment history like mine! 34 years I've been with Discover....So needless to say I will do very little business with them in the future and I have nothing nice to say about them!

    If you have a 0% APR charge and you happen to have a late fee, they'll treat it as a purchase under different terms and charge a high APR on the fee itself to charge interest on it. Any attempts to get customer service to assist you with waiving the fee or paying of the interest carrying balance will result in endless run around without the actual solution so they can continue making money off of you.

    As a loyal customer, I am completely shocked by the treatment at Discover. Annually, I use Discover to the tune of $40K - $50K per year plus kids' student loans. I attended an MLB game several months ago and noticed that an imposter parking attendant ran my card for a $3,000.00 charge. This was determined when a second (legit) attendant asked for $30 for payment no less than one minute later. I checked the Discover app and sure enough, noticed an unknown merchant for a $3,000 charge. I immediately froze the account and called the 800 number on the back of the Discover card to report it. They instructed me to file a police report and send documentation to Discover.

    After several months of back and forth, they determined that their fraud department found no evidence of fraud and that I would be better served going to through their billing department. Discover did not speak with the police nor the fraudulent merchant. After sending documentation to billing, I received a letter saying that dispute had been resolved in my favor and I would receive a $3,000 credit. 6 weeks later, still no credit. Upon inquiry, I was told that I was out of luck, that the system reversed the credit and not an individual person, the fraudulent merchant received payment for $3,000 despite never being contacted by Discover and that I would have look for remedy outside of Discover since the matter is now closed. They never even received a response or any documentation from the criminal merchant that could prove validation of the charge. I now have to contact an attorney to go after the $3,000.

I will never encourage anyone using this credit card. They will decline your purchases each time you use their card to purchase anything more than a thousand. Horrible and racist credit card department.

    Discover has been sending me a preapproved offers for a very long time so I finally decided to get one and after they did a hard draw on my credit, they could not approve my application because all of my forms with my physical address they wouldn’t approve any of them. They accept none of my proofs of physical address in a rural area of Alaska. They already did the hard draw in credit which they will not reverse and they won’t give me an extended amount of time to get the proper documentation so I will not be able to get the card.

    Customer service was nice enough saying sorry for this and sorry for that but they wouldn’t accept any of my forms of Documentation for my physical address because of the format. Why send me preapproved offers if I’m not really preapproved?? Total scam. They obviously don’t want my business. I am a capital one customer with three other credit cards with them and they couldn’t use any of that information to verify who I am. You should skip discover and get a better card imo.

    Discover is now under management of Capital One after it is bought by Capital One. Before, it used to be so anxious to keep cardholders with it that in previous 5 years, if my credit card was sitting empty for 3, 4 months and I have no Balance transfer offer, I will pick up phone and 100 % my call goes to an operator who happened to be ethnically Philippine descent. She will give the balance transfer within seconds. When Capital One was taking over, a year ahead, it went to American-speaking customer service then to replies No Offer. My card is sitting empty for a year and called 5 times but no offer. Contacted Capital One Chairman, no offer. Capital One is known for looking bad credit or poor credit people so they can get them for 30% interest game, not me who paid off 5 times and have 700 plus SCORE.

    My husband and I opened a Discover card in 2020 to help build our credit. We started with an unsecured card and, after a year of making every payment early, we were upgraded and given a small credit increase of $200. Unfortunately, in 2025, our business was affected by the economy and we fell behind on payments. We contacted Discover to explain our temporary financial hardship, but instead of working with us, they immediately suspended our card. Despite this, we paid the balance off in full within two months.

    After the payoff, we reached out several times to ask when the card would be reinstated. Each time, we were told the same vague response—that although they see our $0 balance, they have “no idea” when or if the card would be reopened, and that it would be reviewed monthly with no timeline. Nearly three months later, nothing changed.

    Today (12/1/2025), after receiving the same unhelpful response again, I decided to close the account. I refuse to keep a $500 limit card—nothing special like a Gold or Platinum—just sitting unused while waiting on Discover’s inconsistent decision-making. Based on our experience, I will not be returning to Discover, and I do not recommend them for business owners or anyone hoping for flexibility and clear communication during financial hardship.

    It is with a combination of rage, profound regret, and a crushing sense of acceptance that I write this. I am so unbelievably mad at myself for ever opening a Discover credit card account. I honestly believe this was the single worst financial decision I have made in my life, and while I have to accept that life has its bumps and move forward, I feel compelled to warn every potential customer out there: This company is a complete scam and gives zero value to its customers.

    I fell for the initial promises of cash back and friendly service, but all I found was a predatory system designed to keep customers trapped in endless debt cycles. The benefits and perks they advertise? They are complete BS when stacked against the reality of their operations.

    The Debt Trap is Real and Intentional. The most infuriating "fact" I must share comes from real-world experience, both my own and a friend's. Discover shows absolutely no grace or understanding if you are struggling. They never help you if you are having difficulty with even one payment. Instead, they suddenly and drastically increase their interest rates and penalties, making it mathematically impossible to catch up.

    I recently checked my own statement, and for a credit card balance of approximately \$8,000, my minimum monthly payment is now a staggering \$880. This is not help; it's financial suffocation. And my story is not unique. I spoke to a man recently who told me he has been paying over \$400 a month for over 12 years on an initial balance of \$7,000. After over a decade of high payments, he still owes the original \$7,000 balance! This is clear evidence of a predatory, value-destroying business model that should be illegal.

    Zero Concern for Your Financial Health. Discover doesn't just neglect struggling customers; they actively harm your financial future. They do not care about your credit score, and you must be constantly vigilant to ensure they haven't unfairly reported a missed payment—a situation my friend tragically experienced. They are completely unwilling to work with you to find a viable payment plan or reduce the crippling interest rates, even for loyal customers. They are liars by omission, operating under the guise of a consumer-friendly bank while acting purely in self-interest. I don't blame their customer service representatives. I believe they are simply following strict corporate mandates and have no actual option or authority to help you or exercise discretion. The problem is institutional.

    Close Your Account Now. If you currently own a Discover card account, please, for the sake of your financial future, take action now. Close the account immediately. Get another credit card—almost any other major provider—that offers flexible options, hardship programs, and, most importantly, actually cares about maintaining your credit score and helping you during difficult times. Do not be fooled by their benefits. Do not be drawn into their trap. I encourage every reader and viewer of this review: Do not use this credit card company. You may regret it for over a decade, just like my friend and I. Learn from our pain and move forward with a different, more ethical provider.

    I used Discover as a credit card for business. Then Covid hit and I was unable to pay my bills. I was able to get a home equity line of credit to pay off my business debts. I tried to settle with discover 6 years ago with what cash I had to pay my debt. They would not take the money, they proceeded to file a judgement against me and when I got a 9 to 5 job so I could pay my responsibilities they proceed to garnish my wages 60 days at a time 3 times a year. To the point I am borrowing more money to just pay my monthly obligations like a mortgage and food. Supposedly this is disposable income that I make and when I call to tell them I am a sole provider they said they do not care if I live under a bridge or eat they want their money. Which by the way is not that much. But they charge me 40 percent interest and whatever they take from my checks is not paying down the card.

    I then proceeded to hire an attorney who was told by their attorneys that they don’t care, they will not negotiate and will not settle for any amount for less than what I owe. Which that’s fine, I managed to scrape together what I owe without interest. It they tacked on an additional 20k in interest and I am paying them 1500 a month in interest when my wages are garnished with my supposed disposable income. Do not use discover for a credit card period. They are the most uncaring, horrible people I have encountered. Btw…all my other business debts were all settled 6 years ago and they have been paid in full. The only company that keeps pulling me down is discover and they keep reporting it month after month. This is all for less than 10k. They are doing all kinds of illegal things. And because of this little amount of money I am having to file bankruptcy all because they refuse to settle or work with me or my attorney.

    BEWARE of this company—I was scammed by a company that I had dealt with for years.

The company was Sundance Living—look them up on the Better Business Bureau. I was sent one out of five items in an order. Sundance Living sent "data"—basically a printout of my order. In spite of a mountain of evidence proving my case, the company sided with Sundance Living because of "data" that was meaningless. Every individual I spoke with at Discover apologized and said they would feel as I do—but that company policy is about dollars, not people.

    After beginning my federal career in the early 1990s, I opened my Discover Card account in 1991. For 34 years, I remained a loyal customer — until today, when I finally decided to close my account. The decline in Discover’s customer service didn’t start today; it began about a decade ago. Around ten years back, I requested a credit limit increase, and the agent, after a brief glance at my name, flatly denied it without consideration or explanation. That was my first glimpse of how Discover’s customer service had shifted — from supportive to dismissive and prejudiced. Today’s experience confirmed that nothing has changed. I called to request that late fees and interest charges be waived for a single missed payment — a payment I missed only because I was furloughed. The representative, ID 10113310, rejected my request immediately, without any empathy or willingness to help.

    After decades of loyalty, I expected basic courtesy and understanding. Instead, I was met with indifference and cold professionalism that perfectly reflects how Discover now treats long-term customers. Ten years ago, when Discover turned me down for that credit increase, I opened an American Express card — and I’ve never regretted it. Now, as I cut ties with Discover after 34 years, I feel nothing but relief. Thank you, Discover, for reminding me — through your poor, heartless customer service — that loyalty means nothing to you.

    They are both 1 star: How the account operates and 5 star: 24-hour customer service, 1% cash back, high yield savings and IRA accounts. 1 star: They force high amount holds at gas stations making some block your card use there as they don't want to hassle with the difficulties of how a Discover account operates. They hold your money in pending for more than a week after a credit was issued, not the normal 2-3 business days like all other major banks do. They are really upsetting me right now with that last part these days. I have $147.20 tied up with them since last Friday, a week and a day ago, and Amazon confirms they did a refund exactly one week ago.

    The agent with Discover a few days ago told me I'd see it fall off today, but calling them back the guy now tells me, "oh, wait till Monday". What!? These guys are a bunch of numbskulls when it comes to being able to use your money properly. I guess their 1% back and high yield 3-4% savings makes it up to you in their minds. And a $100-$175 hold on your account for using a gas station pump, RIDICULOUS!! All other banks do it at $1. Even at $40-$50 I'd be okay. I'd understand that. Every time I gas up my usual 9-10 gallons it's between $35-$40, and the ARCO near my work Discover makes the hold $175.

    Discover always points the finger at the vendor, and the vendor points the finger at Discover, but I know it's Discover. Also, sounds like they use Fiserv in Ohio for their customer service. I like the 24-hour availability, but fiserv is a bad company. I used to work for them when I lived out in Ohio. They're based in Columbus if I recall correctly. They help many other banks too. I don't like them. They have bad protocols and treat their employees like dirt.

    5 star: They have free online banking and billpay, but so does pretty much every other bank. Their billpay feature isn't the most user friendly but works. My old credit union and Bank of America had better billpay features. Also Discover gives 1% cash back every month on your card purchases automatically which is nice, and you don't have to report it on your taxes apparently. Also they have high yield savings accounts though it seems to go down every other month. It was at 4.5% or around there when I started about 2 years ago. Now I'm sitting at 3.4% which is still high, but yes, it keeps on going down over time. They also have 24-hour customer service over the phone, but getting to them is a pain as the robot gives you a hard time getting to them at times.

    I am absolutely disgusted with the lack of cardholder protection provided by Discover Card. I purchased a $200 Macy's Gift Card for a friend at an HEB store on 8/19/2025, only to discover the card was defective—the PIN code was damaged and completely inaccessible, rendering the card worthless. What followed was weeks of frustration: HEB (the retailer) refused to exchange the card, forcing me into a blame game with Macy's, who confirmed the exchange had to be handled by HEB as the point of sale. I was passed back and forth, holding a receipt for a useless piece of plastic. When the merchant refused to resolve the issue, I filed a dispute with Discover citing Defective Merchandise. Shockingly, Discover denied my legitimate claim.

    Discover chose to side with the merchant who sold a non-functional product, rather than protecting their loyal customer. The primary reason I use my Discover card is for purchase protection, and I was completely abandoned when I desperately needed it, forcing me to absorb the financial loss. I urge other consumers to consider this serious failure when choosing a card with reliable protection.

    I have been a Discover card customer for almost 10 years, and I am very disappointed with the way they handled my recent dispute. I submitted all the documents and proof they requested, but after waiting a long time, they told me they would not take my dispute because the amount was “too big.” This is completely unfair and unprofessional. A credit card company should protect its customers no matter the size of the dispute. I trusted Discover for many years, but this experience has made me lose confidence in their customer service.

    Discover is by far the worst credit card company I’ve ever dealt with. They stuck me with a $42.78 Walmart charge that Walmart confirmed never happened. I even made a three-way call with Walmart, Discover, and myself on the line, where Walmart told Discover directly there was no transaction — yet Discover is still denying this and refusing to remove the charge. They promised to fix it, remove the fees, and refund my money, but then went back on their word. This is blatant dishonesty and bullying toward their own customer. On top of that, instead of removing, they added late fees and interest charges, and the balance became $120 from $42.78. If you want a card company that stands by you, avoid Discover at all costs. No charges in my purchase history from may 24th from Walmart.

The customer service agent was extremely snarky and rude who I contacted and demeaning. Being on time for YEARS of payments to be met as a loyal customer with such rude customer service and zero willingness to waive the late fee has me assuming that if you had larger credit issues you would be in major trouble with this company. They claimed that I had a previous waive of payment but when I went through all statements it is shown nowhere.

    They also said their system determines who gets to have their late fees waived or not but would not tell me what factors go into determining whether or not an individual gets the waive on their account. The agents seem very irritable and unhelpful so I will steer clear of recommendations for this card for individuals in the future.

    At first my chip wouldn't work at the gas stations, but the card would read at retailers. Then my card wouldn't work any place. I called them, and the service representative (SR) checked my numbers and assured me my card would work. It didn't. I contacted Discover a few more times but got nowhere and nothing. Finally, I asked for a replacement card, but the SR said that she couldn't issue me a replacement because there was a fraud alert. I told her I hadn't been notified of a fraud alert by e-mail like I usually am. After a few more days talking to SR's who hadn't been properly trained, I finally talked to an SR who said the fraud alert wasn't a Discover fraud alert but what she called an "external fraud alert" meaning that it was a fraud alert by one of the three major credit companies. (Why did it take so long to find someone who would recognize an "external fraud alert"?)

    She gave me the name, TransUnion, and a phone number. I called Transunion and there was no talk of a fraud alert. All they did was ask me questions like my height and previous address. (I don't know if they were filling in their blanks about me, or just going through an incredible verification that I was saying I was who I said I was.) After their questions, they told me that the "external fraud alert" had been lifter.

    I contacted Discover and they said I could use my card now. I couldn't. I called Discover again and finally was given to a specialist it "external fraud alerts". She said that they only update their "external fraud alerts" monthly so that I would have to wait until after the Fourth of the next month before Discover could issue me a new card.

    To only update once a month is a management decision made to be user vicious rather than user friendly. To have so many SRs untrained to recognize and deal with "external fraud alerts" is a poor management decisions. I do not want to do business with a company run by poor management.

I never authorized this and I've called customer service 3 times and none of them will change it to just leaving those dollars there to accumulate. What's the point of offering something if Discover is going to decide how it's used? Absolutely the worst service of any credit card... Can't wait to pay it off and dump it!

    I had never had a problem with Discover until this month, when I was penalized for paying early. I had a small balance in April, which I paid on May 2, 2025. Made a couple of purchases at Lowe's and Amazon. Since I had already paid my statement for May, I paid another payment for the upcoming statement, which came on July 2, 2025. However, when I looked at it, I was assessed a $30 late fee for missing the June payment. When I tried to get them to apply the payment properly, they did not. At this point, I became so enraged with them and what they'd done, I paid my balance and closed the account.

    I applied for a Discover Card since someone else I knew who had one, was very happy with it with no complaints. I even liked that you can change the design to your liking and it even offered 15 months of "no interests" to boot...and with my credit score of 835, I was instantly approved! However, I waited 2 weeks and the card never came. In addition, I had to submit either a Driver's License or Passport and a photo for account verification before using the card. At this point, it's off to a bad start and I don't need this card when other CC's such as Chase, BoA, Amex, Citi, don't give me a hard time and give me a much higher credit line. I would avoid this at all cost!!!!

I called the Just Fly company's CS number and was on hold over an hour, I emailed them and never received an answer until after I disputed the tickets, then they emailed me back saying they sent tickets and why did I dispute them. I told Just Fly I didn't have actual tickets with useful confirmation numbers. I went back and forth with emails with the Just Fly company and they NEVER sent me working tickets. Since I Disputed the tickets with my discover card I provided proof of all the emails I exchanged.

    After ongoing disputes for a year, I was told today (one year later) that Just Fly said, "She purchased non-refundable tickets" So even though they NEVER gave me what I purchased which was 3 airline tickets. The Just Fly company provided false documents to the Discover card saying I flew on the airline. I never did because I never received tickets. I proved that I was in another state flying out of a different airport with NEW tickets I bought from an actual legit company. Just Fly is a scam, it lies, cheats and steals your money. Do NOT book with them.

Well, after 10 minutes, I couldn't do it. It wouldn't take my pic. So I said, forget it and send me the check.

So by the time it arrives it could be 9 or 10 days from the time I close it - and who knows how long of a hold is on the check. After the process was done, I found out they were sending the check out TODAY while it was supposed to be sent out in 3 weeks, when the CD matures. Thank the Lord they have taped conversations.

    We used to be so happy with Discover customer service. My wife sang their praises for years and years - until tonight. My parents call me by my middle name and always have given me checks using that name. I also receive checks using my initials and using my full name (especially from insurance and the government). Discover never has had a problem depositing these checks. I have plenty of evidence of that - checks deposited for many years. (I always endorse them the same way.) All of a sudden, Discover has decided they won't deposit checks that don't match my name exactly as it appears on the account - like somehow I can control how checks are issued. That is beyond stupid.

    Maybe this is something new because of the merger with Capital One. Whatever the reason, it's terrible customer service and is making us think seriously about switching banks. They rejected a large check we deposited over the weekend, and the only way we found out is because my father told me it hadn't cleared his account. We were counting on that money. Yes, it would have had a hold, but now we're going to wait at least 5 days longer because we have to take the check to another bank.

    When I first got my Discover credit card, everything seemed fantastic. They offered me a high limit and attractive rewards. However, things started to decline after that. My biggest frustration is that they don’t allow you to lock your card, which means recurring charges automatically go through. This became a significant issue for me as a business owner. After closing my business, I lost access to the email and information tied to that account, making it impossible to cancel those recurring payments. I ended up paying $75 just to close my Discover card.

    One of those recurring charges went through, and I couldn’t dispute it, so I felt compelled to cancel my card altogether. I find their practices quite disappointing and unethical. My hope is that Discover either gets acquired by a more responsible company or goes out of business entirely. I plan to sell the small amount of stock I have in Discover, as I typically like to invest in companies I do business with, but this experience has changed my mind. If your credit score qualifies you for a Discover card, it’s likely good enough for an American Express card, which I highly recommend.

They enrolled me in a program that required me to make consistent payments to bring my balance below the minimum due. I stuck with it, paid every month for over a year, and successfully brought the account below the threshold they told me was required. They promised that once I completed the program, my card would be reactivated. I held up my end of the deal — but even after completing the program and continuing to pay on time, my card is still suspended. They refuse to reactivate it, despite everything. Bottom line: Do NOT trust Discover Card’s recovery programs.

How do I prove a negative? They won't tell me. This was all the money I had but they don't care. My account was compromised a year ago and the hacker changed my profile info to his own, so it's obvious it's possible.

    I have been a customer for over 30 years and have never been so irritated at Discover. They've charged me retro-active interest rate fees for signing up for promotions and now, a few years later, when the balances are not paid off in full due to them charging me these extra rates, they say that they can't do anything to help me. They say that I signed up for these promotions and therefore, I agreed to the terms. Yes, I agreed to a promotional term but not to paying whatever interest rates they want for an unspecified amount of time. They are ripping me off with charging these crazy interest rates and then acting like it's my fault that the balance is not paid off. I have never had a credit card company do this and am not sure how Discover can do this to a long time customer. Stay away from Discover!

    Discover's dispute resolution process is awful. One of the main reasons to give your business to a credit card is to ensure that in the event you have an unauthorized or problematic transaction, the credit card company has your back. Discover does not have your (the consumer's) back. I initiated a dispute because a merchant failed to provide goods that I had paid for. I spoke to a Discovery agent, explained what happened, and the agent agree I had been wronged. The charge was reversed.

    Eight months later, I received a letter from Discover saying that they had reversed course and were reviving the disputed charge. They took at face-value the self-serving and entirely disingenuous statement from the merchant, crediting their version of events because they happened to be in writing while my statement had been given orally to a dispute resolution agent over the phone. Suffice to say, I was not advised at the time the dispute process began that written documentation was necessary to prevail. Again, Discovery told me the dispute had been resolved in my favor, removed the charge, and left me to believe the matter was, for all intents and purposes, settled.

    One of the selling points of having a credit card is protection against unscrupulous merchants. Discovery has failed to provide that service. It does not take much looking around the Internet to confirm that Discovery has an awful reputation for its dispute resolutions. They hire pleasant staff, but that is a small comfort when they rule consistently in favor of the merchants. They won't get my business anymore. They shouldn't get yours. Many competitors do disputes better. Find one and get a card from them.

    I sent two separate ACH contributions to my Roth IRA. Immediately after submitting the contributions, I discovered that I was not legally able to submit any funds to my Roth IRA for 2024 and 2025 and contacted Discover to see if the transactions could be stopped but was told that they couldn't. I advised Discover that these payments were considered excess contributions and was told by a Discover agent to submit two separate "IRA Distribution Form for Traditional, Roth, and SIMPLE IRAs" forms and to complete the "Correction of Excess Contribution for Tax Year" section of the form for 2024 and 2025.

    I was told that after the funds posted that I would immediately be sent the funds. I was told this by at least two different agents. On 02/05/2025 I received a phone call from another agent who told me that Discover wouldn't be able to return my funds for 60 days and that they would not honor my requests to return the excess funds until the 61st day after the deposits were made.

    The person I spoke to made it sound like it was a government rule but after doing some research I discovered that there was no such rule. I contacted Discover again and asked for the IRS rule that says that they couldn't return my funds for 60 days and was told that it wasn't due to a government rule but it was their policy. When I asked for them to send me the exact policy or where I can find it to read it for myself, I was given some vague reference to their deposit agreement that was available on their website but when I read the agreement it is silent on an policy that says that they can keep my funds for 60 days. If I ask for my money back they have no right to keep it if the funds have been validated and are legitimate. Do not do business with this bank.

I wasted time disputing the charge and, somehow, Discover sided with the Boston Globe. They gave me zero insight about why they decided to side with them. In fact, in their denial statement, they actually said, "We also attempted to obtain transaction records from the Boston Globe," but were unable to do so. Why that is my fault, I have no idea.

    Discover will do a thing where you pay "x" amount of money to stay within your credit utilization range. They will then say they've gotten your payment (while keeping the right amount of money until it processes) and then you'll have to wait for an extended amount of days for things to catch up on record (balance & available credit update). Then suddenly, they will send all your money back and also say you owe more money than before. This will immediately impact your credit score within 3-5 days; but remember you must wait "x" amount of business days for it to reprocess. Then when you try and pay it off it will say you're not allowed to pay it off unless you risk eating your credit line. When you call customer service they tell you all the things you'd like to hear as a concerned customer, but they give vague solutions and nothing actually gets done.

When I called to rectify it I was bounced between departments for over a month, with promised callbacks to no avail. No person ever responded to me, not a supervisor, acquisitions or customer service.

    Buyers Beware! We have had a relationship with Discover for 35 years. We have used our credit card for most of our household expenses totaling around $3500 to $4000 per month. Our account has been in good standing the entire time BUT when asked to support us, Discover totally let us down. On 28 Oct 24 I telephoned Blue Host and spoke to a Joyce regarding my desire to transfer my web hosting of a nonprofit from I-Page to Blue Host. I gave her my email address and my Discover card number to charge $149.99 for a set-up fee and $466.20 for 3 years of service. She stated she sent me an email with a secret code to get started only the email did not come in. After several attempts my wife asked her to read the email address to us—yep, she had entered an incorrect email address. She said she could not change the address- even though she had just entered it a few minutes earlier.

    She then gave me another phone number to try since we could not get the security code and then finalize the information Blue Host needed. When I called the number I got a non-native English speaking representative that started telling about all the copies of information they would need to prove that I was the person who requested the service. I had JUST started the service with Joyce a few minutes earlier. - - This was unacceptable to me. I immediately called Joyce’s number and someone answered and said she was at lunch but she would call back - which she did within the hour. I explained that I did NOT want the services and requested that she immediately cancel my work order. She said she would “take care” of it. Of course, both charges ($149.99 and $466.20) were already on my Discover bill. On 8 Nov 24 the charges were STILL on my account so I called Discover company and disputed the charges.

    The charges were removed from my bill, but they reappeared because Discover received a message from Blue Host that I had been told that all charges were non-refundable. I had NEVER received verbal information nor an email telling me that information. I NEVER received an email of ANY kind from Blue Host (they had an incorrect email address they were sending it to (their fault) nor was I told by ANY telephone conversation with Blue Host that the charges were non-refundable! When I told Discover all this information they stated I needed to send in written information from Blue Host. That is a HUGE problem because I NEVER received ANY type of written information from Blue Host.

    Discover would not remove the charges so I am screwed by both Blue Host and Discover. If I do not get my money returned by one or the other companies, I will next report them both to the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureaus, etc. - Buyers BEWARE. I have to pay $616.19 for not one second of a website! Thank you Discover!

    Discover does not protect your credit card from scammers. They are not out for you and do not protect your money. My card got scammed. Unbeknownst to me, a total of $150 was taken from my bank account after a one time payment of $0.99 for what was supposed to be a fun online test (apparently a "subscription" was attached)).

    Fast forward, after realizing these charges, I gave a dispute to Discover. Discover dismissed my case stating I didn't have documents showing communication with this merchandise. Discover wanted me to show them the "emails" this merchant claimed they sent me showing the merchant warning me of their charges. I looked at my email, my spam box---No emails. (How would I be able to provide non existent "email" documents to Discover, which Discover demanded from me in order to continue my dispute?). (Upon the red tape tasks Discover told me to do) I called this scam merchant 20 times: the number hangs up in less than a second.

    I tried logging into their website to "unsubscribe": An infinite spinning loop---a webpage that never loads. Well, of course this will happen. This merchandise is a SCAM and they LIE. That's the whole point of a scam, Discover. So the fact that they take the word of Scammers (professional liars), over the word of their customers is baffling. Discover is not capable of protecting your money. They treat their customers like liars and idiots. I recommend Capital One. This same experience of being scammed happened to one of my friends: Capital One refunded them right away with no questions asked. Discover couldn't even stop the payments of the scammer. Discover made me contact this merchant to cancel my subscription instead of taking care of stopping these scammers from continuing to make payments from my account, but let me reiterate, it's a scam, they don't pick up.

    Discover takes the word of scammers over their customers and uses red tape excuses to dismiss and ignore their customer's concerns. They lack the necessary effort and care required for protecting your credit card account. I cancelled my Discover card (because this scamming merchant would still have access to my credit card and would still be able to take money from my credit card, because Discover can't even help with that), and I am moving to Capital One, where I'm confident my money will be protected (as per my friend's experience).
