    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!

    I have automatic payments set up but apparently Discover thought it was cool to be like "Automatic payments + minimum due" so I ended up paying $242 instead of $130 which was what I scheduled. I have payments set up according to my budget. This really screws me over and caused my bank to overdraft. I managed to find out how to fix it but I am really mad about Discover doing this to me so when I pay off my balance I am closing the account.

    Discover is a real scam, I am canceling my card. For years they take money that I never allowed the transactions. They have a strategy: the balance in the application is never updated so I get surprised with amounts to pay that I have no idea where they came from. It’s late so you can’t track. Also, the dispute is never an option. They make you tired. I called to say DO NOT ALLOW ANY MORE TRANSACTIONS. They said, "It’s not at our level." They reported wrong Information to Experian bureau credit and they said I have to call the bureau directly Experian to escalate. They are AGAINST their customers and not working in their favors.

    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.

    Discover advertises that you are not responsible for fraudulent charges. I have been a card holder for close to twenty years. Every billing dispute (about 4 now) has been denied by Discover. This company is "in bed" with merchants and puts their interests over their cardholders. I am still getting charged by a merchant after I put a freeze on my card and canceled my card!

I activated it and set it all up. A few days later I tried to use it and couldn't. When I called they said I needed to wait for an email because they needed to confirm my information. The email didn't come. I called again and was told this time that I need to complete tax documentation so they could verify my tax information as to my earnings. I cancelled my card which was not useable and was told that I have to wait for 2 billing cycles plus 7 days to get the funds back and the funds would be in the form of a check.

    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 recently "discovered" that Discover Card is not pro-customer. If you have a dispute about a charge, don't bother disputing it. The Boston Globe charged me for a renewal before the renewal date deadline, so I disputed it because I planned on canceling. 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. And this is from a loyal customer who has had a Discover Card for nearly twenty years. I would never get a credit card through them again, and you shouldn't either.

    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.

    Very nice customer service. I liked the rewards. However, after three months of having a card, they asked for my tax transcripts from the IRS for two years, under the guise of identity verification. To make matters worse, they want me to release my tax returns to Equifax! Shameful. My tax returns have all my businesses' information and my children's SS#. What the heck. That is a crazy invasion of privacy. And they said the government requires them to verify my identity so they use tax transcripts. Discover, there are other ways to verify my identity other than asking for my tax transcripts months into having a card with you. Keep in mind they also asked for my driver's license, which I gladly shared. Disgrace excuse to data mine.

I contacted the seller 1 day after the purchase and said I wanted to return the product and understand there was a 14 day return policy. There was nothing on the receipt that stated the policy it was a question I asked at the time of purchase. The vendor provided his return address, and I shipped it back requiring a signature. I waited 2 weeks and heard nothing back when I made 2 attempts to contact the vendor. I then submitted a dispute. Ultimately, discover found the vendor in favor because they produced a "no return policy". I was told this is my issue to work it out with the vendor. No product and No money!

    Discover engages in deceptive marketing practices using 3rd party websites like motley fool, where they offer you sub par terms for the same cards they have on their website. So if you’re like me and you do a month of research on cards, select the one you want and when you decide to open the card you Google the card you want (Discover It Card in my case), the third-party offer comes first. 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.

    It wasn’t til I filed with the BBB that I got a callback and was told I should open another card and transfer my balance. They opened a 6-month intro APR card instead of the 15-month advertised on the websites. The card I was given isn’t even listed as an option on their website.

    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).

    I have had my account for 4 years and have always been very happy with it. I have never been late or missed a payment; they raised my credit limit which was helpful to have available when my dog needed surgery. I purchased a home in June and used more of my credit (of which I have quite a bit) than I had in the past. Most of my open credit is unused and has been so for years. I don't close them because I don't want my score lowered.

    I just found that Discover lowered my credit limit by $1,200. Thereby also lowering my credit score. Left me a bit open so that I wouldn't go over my limit. Of course calling is pointless. It is all automated. This happened to me a while back with another card. Same story. My payments on everything I have have been current for a minimum of 10 years. In fact, not on all but typically on one a month (and I alternate) I pay more than minimum due.

    Credit Karma continues sending advice to open up more credit so that it lowers my percentage of usage (which is also a mystery to me. Why have it open if you can't use it.) This is terrible advice. I have opened up one or two simply for promotions, paid them off and left them. When you do that, if you have a lot of open credit things like just happened with Discover occur because you have too much open. It's a no win situation. My solution (as I did with another large bank) is that I will cut the card up, pay it off and that will be the end of my relationship with Discover. This is unfortunate as my past relationship was a good one.

I did no such thing and asked Discover to open a dispute.

    A month or so later Discover informed me that they had investigated and that the charges were valid. They provided me with documentation that the merchant claimed would show that the charges were valid. The documentation included purported links to eMails the merchant said would support their contentions. When I tried to follow one of those links (numerous times) it simply would not work.

    I told Discover those facts and asked whether they had tried following the link that I tried or whether they just accepted the merchant's word about the situation. NO ANSWER was forthcoming. I hate being cheated and that is what this seems to be. Discover did not investigate thoroughly on my behalf. I have cancelled my Discover card and will never use them again.

    I've had Discover for a very long time but it will be coming to an end. Discover disputes will always go in favor of the company which you purchase from unless you get a statement from them saying they will give you a credit back. How fair is it for me to dispute car labor done incorrectly on my vehicle, with a vehicle check from another company stating repairs are incorrect. Well Discover has rules that they still go with the other company and just squash their customers. I can't wait to pay off and close out this card 2025.

I received a preapproved offer for an additional card with miles rewards. I accepted and the card arrived approximately two weeks later. Soon after I started getting request from Discover for access to my Income Tax Records. They already had all my personal information, including employment and all my debts. I declined allowing them access to my Income Tax files as they contain unrelated information that isn’t needed for their credit determination. They closed my new account as failure to comply. I just received a letter telling me that additionally they closed my longtime Discover Cash Back card. I have had it for years with a credit line of $11,000.00. I have never been late, missed a payment or encountered any account issues. There was no warning and zero empathy by when I called to inquire.

    The Customer Service Representative was short and not helpful in explanation the need for my personal income files. I was willing to provide check stubs, pay ledgers, etc. for proof of my submitted income. My Human Resource Department was on board with providing any details they might need. All to no avail. I’m actually better off without their name on my list of creditors. I was minimally impacted by their decision. I simply called my other creditors and asked for a small limit increase and every single account complied. That allowed my utilization percentage to lower. Discover also added a note to my file that said they made the decision to close my account not me the customer. My only thought for them is, “How did that work out for you?”

    To anyone reading my review, inquire at Chase, Citibank, USAA, Capital One, etc., before you ever consider Discover. You’ll find folks that celebrate loyalty, responsibility and a passion for great, fair customer service. I will certainly never refer my family or friends to discover, no matter the cost.

The merchant fraudulently advertised .22 caliber magnum switch guns for $69.95 each, so I ordered two for a total of $142.70. The merchant had a 30-day money back guarantee if not satisfied. I received the switch guns on July 12, 2024, and come to find out they were overpriced plastic toy guns, so I immediately emailed the merchant requesting a refund. The merchant was only willing to give a 5% refund, which would have been approximately $7 or $8 dollars, nor was the merchant willing to give me a return address for the switch guns.

    Long story short, I then contacted the Discover Card dispute center and gave them all information and documentation about the transaction. Bottom line, Discover sided with the merchant and Discover NEVER sent me any correspondence (letter nor email) as to the outcome of the dispute, in spite of all my documentation submitted to Discover. Because of this, I paid off my entire balance and closed my account.

    Zero Stars – Discover Will Not Stand Behind You. If you have a dispute over a product you purchased with your Discover card, beware. While you can file a dispute, they won’t tell you that you can only win if the merchant doesn’t respond. Discover seems more interested in protecting the merchant than the customer. We had a dispute with a company that provided a defective product. Despite having proof that the company agreed to refund us— including a signed document from the owner—Discover refused it, claiming they couldn't consider it because it was a legal document, and "they're not lawyers." This was ridiculous since the document was meant as proof, not for legal judgment.

    It didn’t matter to Discover that the product was damaged or that the refund was agreed upon; they simply sided with the merchant. Their dispute process exists, but it seems designed to shield businesses, not consumers. Discover is a predatory company, and with so many credit cards out there, consider this a warning.

    Discover Personal Loans has truly lost its way. I've been a loyal Discover customer for over 10 years, never missing a payment on my credit cards, mortgages, and HELOC loans. But over the last 3 years, something has changed, and not for the better. Recently, I applied for a consolidation personal loan to simplify my finances during a temporary setback caused by external factors. With a credit score of 760 and a DTI around 31%, I expected Discover to understand my impeccable history and be willing to work with me. Instead, I had to deal with an underwriter who could barely understand English, which is a huge issue when making a major financial decision. This isn't a criticism of where they're from—it's just a fact that clear communication is crucial in underwriting a loan.

    Despite being a long-time, responsible customer, Discover treated me like a risk they couldn’t take. Meanwhile, I was offered the exact same loan from LightStream at a rate that was 4% better! That's a massive difference that speaks volumes about Discover’s attitude toward customer loyalty. If you're considering a personal loan, do yourself a favor: stay far away from Discover and check out other lenders like LightStream. They’ll treat you with respect and give you a better deal. If this review helps even one person avoid the disaster of dealing with Discover, it'll have been worth every second of my time.

    I was initially attracted to the Discover Card because of its claim of "no foreign transaction fees." However, I was disappointed to find that the card charges a much higher foreign exchange rate than what was originally shown at the time of purchase. This effectively cancels out the benefit of not having a foreign transaction fee. I filed a few complaints and provided proof that a much lower rate was shown at the time of purchase. However, online customer service couldn't explain why I was charged a different rate and simply blamed the merchant. After filing a complaint with the CFPB, the CEO's office responded by saying they can charge whatever exchange rate they like per their terms of service. This is definitely the worst bank you can ever deal with. If you're planning to use this card for international purchases, be aware of the hidden costs and lack of accountability.

    After being customers of Discover Credit Card Services for more than 6 years, we just found out our Credit Card was cancelled. We had no help at all on the phone. "Not using as intended." As a customer with very good credit and 100% paying our bills, we should be able to decide how and when/where we use the Credit Card at our own discretion, no? That is at least how one uses cards to shop and purchase services. At least we thought so. Vague statement by agent on the phone: "I have never seen such a remark on anyone's file." We have cut up and destroyed our cards and continue on.

    We pride ourselves in being truthful and have a stellar credit report, just have no clue. Because Discover decided to cancel our line of credit with them, we are confident that our report speaks for itself. My personal guess is, they are not making money on us, as we have paid our bills on time or before due date in full. Could be wrong, because the current economy seems to like people in endless debt.

    I missed one payment on accident while out on vacation. I make the payment when I get back but am told it wont go through for another 2 business days (usually happens immediately). And that I can't use my card until the week of business after that happens. Effectively, they froze my card for a whole week for being barely late on one payment after years of regular and on-time payments. And the customer service I received when trying to get it resolved was absolutely horrible. Closing my account immediately and getting a new card elsewhere.

    I don't know how you still have people working for your company. Your managers can't handle when their reps have questions regarding their quality scores and say they are being argumentative. Even when their scores are great you still criticize them for having perfect scores. When they say they don't know what can be done better you then again criticize them. How do you expect people to stay working for you when all your managers do is criticize and never say hey you got good scores great job. Here's a reward for good work done like other companies do. And then when people quit you can't be bothered to respond to them to get the equipment sent back. How professional is that? What a joke Discover is.

    Well, as long as you use your card and make your payments, no problem. But once you run into a problem with a merchant that sent you rotten moldy flowering bulbs, there is no support. Discover has been proven to be the most merchant friendly credit card company. If you call the phone number to dispute a charge

    You end up with a girl who is more interested in taking care of her crying baby than helping you.. Nobody can tell you where and how to post documentation for the problem. Then you get the notice that they sided with the merchant. That is pitiful for the buyer who was scammed out of his money. I am not using the Discover card anymore unless it is a face to face transaction with 5% cash back. I need to be safe. Other credit card companies have way better customer service and they help you, and you can talk to knowledgeable people.

    As a former customer of Discover Credit Card, I am compelled to share my disappointing experience with their abysmal business practices. My account was unceremoniously closed by Discover simply because I did not use the card for a few months. This heavy-handed approach to customer relationships is nothing short of appalling.

    Instead of valuing long-term customers and fostering relationships, Discover chooses to penalize individuals who may not use their card frequently for whatever reason. Not only did Discover close my account abruptly, but they also failed to consider any extenuating circumstances that may have led to the lack of card activity. As a customer, I expect a certain level of communication and understanding from a financial institution, especially one that claims to prioritize customer satisfaction.

    This experience has left me deeply disillusioned with Discover Credit Card. I cannot in good conscience recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and customer-friendly credit card provider. There are plenty of other options available that treat their customers with respect and understanding, unlike Discover. In conclusion, Discover's decision to close my account due to inactivity is a clear demonstration of their shortsighted and customer-unfriendly business practices. Save yourself the frustration and disappointment by steering clear of Discover Credit Card.

    My relationship with Discover started out great.

I never thought it would apply to me and hoped it never happened. Well, unfortunately it now has happened and as helpful as they seemed and sounded in the beginning, they have now done the exact opposite. Basically saying, "We are done investigating, you are now responsible as we have put charges back on your card from months ago. And if you choose to continue your fight and investigation you will need to do that on your own."

    Meanwhile, these charges will remain until paid in full. Even though I’ve sent in all proof and receipts and spoken to “experts” who specialize in these situations who have looked over my documents and said, "Oh my gosh I see exactly what you are saying and the proof you’ve sent in is correct to back up your dispute in plain black and white." Now all of a sudden, nothing makes sense and they closed my case with no progress or results in my favor. I always recommend Discover and thought highly of the company and customer service. Well, not anymore! I think small claims court and lawyer are what’s next.

    I've had my Discover card for 5 years. I use credit cards because I like the convenience and always pay off at the beginning of the month. After this last debacle won't be using my Discover card. Last month they sent me a notice of late payment. Which is impossible since I pay my balance off each month. When I called support they couldn't explain why I received the notification. They brushed it off by saying since they forgive the first missed payment there was no late charge. So I'm good. (RIGHT!) Truth is Discover should not have flagged me for a late charge in the first place!

    This month I checked the Discover web portal to be sure my payment posted. So I went to the Discover web portal and the dashboard still shows that I have a balance still pending. I thought WHAT! I'm sure I made that payment. So I went to my bank to see and sure enough my bank shows that amount had posted the previous day. So I dug further. I went my account using Discover's web portal, clicked the dropdowns to access recent payment history and Discover's own portal contradicts itself in that the posted payment history does reflect the fact that payment was posted the same day my bank says it posted, but when I talk to the Discover customer support person the support she tells me that my payment has not yet posted even though their web portal says it's posted. They have no explanation for that!

    The issue is that as long as there is a balance on my account Discover will try to charge me interest. They have done this to me before. I'm tired of it. I think Discover's accounting systems are flawed and their customer service needs to be better informed. There are better credit card companies than Discover. I would not recommend Discover to anyone.

They held it temporarily then charged me again later when I wasn't paying attention. I just had a plumbing company (Young's Water and Sewer) make an unauthorized charge. I contacted Discover seconds after the company did this and Discover said I had to wait until it went through.

    I absolutely hate Discover. I have reached a point in which I don’t know what to do. 2 months ago, I applied for an Secured Credit card, in the hopes to improve my credit score. I signed up on Credit Karma and got approved. When signing up, I clicked the button to deposit $100 into the account. I remember clearly there was an option to click:

    -$100
    -$200
    -$300

    -$400

    I have even gone back through the process to make sure. Within the hour, I received an email saying that Discover was requesting to withdraw $1000 from my bank account. I immediately called discover telling them I could not afford putting $1000 into the card. The teller was kind and basically told me that I would have to call my bank to stop all payments from discover. I did so and within 3 days, the money had still been withdrawn. I called multiple times and was told that I would have to wait until the card came in, then cancel it, and request my refund. I waited a week until the card arrived, canceled the card, and was told I would receive a check in the mail within a week. It has now been two and a half months and I have yet to receive my money back. I am BEYOND LIVID. None of the employees are on the same page and I have been given a lot of wrong information by almost every employee. Here is a basic outline of my experience:

    1- waited a week on check
    2- called a week later after not receiving check and I was told to wait another week.

    3- waited another week and didn’t receive refund. Called again and was told that whoever told me that was wrong and that I would have to wait two months until I could receive a refund. I then asked to have it expedited and they approved.

    4- I was told I’d have to wait a month to receive the money.
    5- I waited a month and STILL DID NOT RECEIVE THE MONEY.

    6- I called again and was told that I would have to wait ANOTHER month in order to request a refund, which would ultimately be a direct deposit into my account.

    I waited another month and I have called. I was able to give the teller my information and was approved for a direct deposit refund. The lady told me I would receive my money within 3-5 days. It has now been five days and NOTHING. I called today and was told that the teller gave me wrong information and that I would receive the refund within 16 days. Then, they proceeded to tell me that if I didn’t receive my refund, to give it another month until I could request another one. I am FED up.

    As a college student that works full time in order to survive and can barely make it, this has SEVERELY impacted my ability to pay for basic human needs and bills. I am so upset and I greatly recommend that no one ever use discover. Making this post is something that is way out of my comfort zone, but I am genuinely at a loss for words.

In December, we were using a lot of Amazon for Christmas presents and also several different credit cards and I lost my Discover card, and went to make a claim and they put the money back in my account only to have it taken back out again. When I called them, they told me that it was because they had a recording of me changing my story saying that I gave my card to my son to use which was a lie, my son has his own Discover card which is backed off of my card so he wouldn’t need to use mine.

    I asked them to send me the recording. They said I had to get a subpoena. I have spoken to literally four different people and each time had to start over with my story. They asked me to prove that I didn’t make the charges and I told them how would I do that? If I don’t even know what the charges are. I have over $100,000 in available credit from different credit cards, including a platinum American Express and many other cards such as Citibank and Capital One, which none of them have ever given me the trouble this company did. They always supported me when I had a fraud claim.

    I am really advising you to not use this company. They made me feel like I was a liar and a criminal, when I did nothing wrong except get taken advantage of. They will not support you. No matter what you say, they will twist it and make it into something else. I am not going to give up but at the same time reading everyone else’s comments, which is very similar to mine.

    I've always wanted a Discover card. Well I finally got one and after having it for almost 5 years they are putting me under a review saying the reason is because I haven't filed my taxes since 2021, which is a lie. I believe that they target certain people and although I've turned in all the review paperwork, which required notary (who obviously didn't do it correctly). Now they are threatening to shut my card off. They said it was my responsibility for what the notary put at the bank and that it didn't match my bank statements that were sent (dollar amount for account ending balance). This is not my fault that the notary did not do her job correctly and making me go do It again when I have clearly filed my taxes every year.

    I applied for Discover card and was accepted with an $8000 credit limit not long after I received the approval. I also got a request from them in my email asking them for access to my IRS information which I found to be a little bit discerning, but because I wanted the credit card, I went ahead and I gave them access, so then my card was activated no problem so I thought I use my card with the department of motor vehicles at one charge for $654. Then I want to make another charge and was declined so I called Discover to ask why it was declined. I need to go through another verification process. I’ve given them access to my tax return for for a couple of years, I didn’t understand what more information they could possibly need so then I was told to call back in the morning because the department need to talk to was closed when I call back in the morning, I was told that my card was fine no problems. Use as usual and I shouldn’t have any issues.

    So then I went to use my card later that evening to purchase something for my daughter. It was a $40 purchase. I was declined once again. I called was told to call back in the morning. I called back in the morning, transferred the other department and now they telling me they want me to send a copy of my ID and a selfie, I’m not doing all this. They want way too much information. I told them to close my account and send me a bill for the $654 that I was able to charge on the account. I don’t appreciate being treated like a criminal and being treated like I’m not me and I’m doing something criminal. This is the worst corporation by far that I’ve ever dealt with.

    I am a customer with Discover for form years. So is my wife. Both we have large CC with this company. When business is good and cash flows, Discover is great. They give you plenty of credit. But for heaven's sake, do not have a problem or fraudulent transaction. When I opened a Shopify store I used my Discover card to add the DropShipper Spocket to my apps. For 288 dollars. Which is a fee for 1 year. I then worked on getting this store going, but it did not work the way I wanted. Lucky for me, the renewals for the second year was declined because I did not have enough funds on the card. I then spoke with Spocket and was told, that the payment was declined and I am not a member anymore. I was happy to hear and took of my payment method of the account (Discover) thereafter.

    On 11 11 2023 I received an email that my transaction went through. I renewed Spocket for 288 dollars. I was shocked. I did not even have my Shopify store anymore, they did not have a payment method on file and still charged my card. But what was the more shocking and upsetting is that Discover Card despite me not having enough money and despite there was not authorization paid the 288 $ and then blamed me.

    From there on I pay so much more interest that I was not able to make it below my limit and they keep on charging. I tried communicating a couple times. They absolutely do not care and keep saying it is my fault. I keep writing reviews now and Spocket gets reported to BBB and Attorney General. Discover Card in short paid an unauthorized transaction and blame that on me! There is no attempt otherwise to help to get balances down or any offers to help for loyal customers. Discover is about Discover even if you paid thousands of interest without any complaint or question. If you ever get one. Keep it low and never take an over to increase credit!

    I had my card for three years. I got sick in January of 2024 and fell behind two payments. I willingly entered the Discover "pay off" program as I was anxious to pay off the debt. I paid off the whole full debt within two months. Despite a pay off of less than one year, Discover continues to hold my account under suspension. Recently, I discovered fraudulent activity on my account. Because they removed all control over account management functions, I cannot replace cards, change authorized users, or utilize any other card management features to manage the fraudulent activity. Someone initiated a fraud review and Discover cannot account for that. Someone tried to apply for a credit increase in my name and they can't figure that one out, either. I have spent countless hours passed around customer service/supervisors/fraud and back again with no resolution.

    Don't fall for the "lower interest rate" scheme. Your account will be "reviewed" once a month for the full year to "decide" whether to unsuspend the account or not. It all leads to further problems until the situation becomes impossible to resolve and you close your account out of sheer frustration. Recently, the Better Business Bureau had to get involved when Discover tried to charge me 69.09 after the full debt amount was paid off. They tried to pass off the extra charges as "residual interest". Once the Better Business Bureau stepped in, they removed those charges. Now, due to the fraud on my account, a new account has to be set up and the cards. I have been informed that I still can't replace my card or manage the new account.

    I now have no card, no means to replace or manage a new card, and no control over my account. At this point, I feel like scammers have more access and control to my account than I have. The company is too compartmentalized, the customer service is institutionalized and ineffective (non existent, honestly), and there seems to be no accountability for Discover to protect its customers. For this last reason, customers should understand what Discover's pay off program entails in order to make an informed decision.

    I recently switched bank accounts. I had a zero balance on my Discover card so hadn't updated my bank information yet on my account. I initiated a balance transfer last week. Your form did not mention the bank it would be going to - if it would have I would have caught my mistake and fixed it. Today I get the email that the $9k posted to my Discover account and that email listed my old bank which is how I learned of my mistake. I (mistakenly) thought I could call Customer Service and get this fixed. NO. So to recap we are at a point now that this could be fixed and I not out money (and Discover not out money as I am **NOT** paying back money I won't get. I will just file bankruptcy.

    Discover told me that I need to call back March 17 so I can go through some kind of "punishment" period where I do not sleep and worry 24x7 about being out this money. Only on March 17 will they bother to help me. I bet the person I talked to is giving himself time to divert this money to HIS PERSONAL ACCOUNT during this 8 days. I am already under a lot of stress and this has put me over a mental health threshold. I will track down whoever steals my $9k and "deal with them" since Discover could easily reverse this today but won't. 8 days for punishment? I have been punished enough under the Biden Administration as have many others. I made a mistake. I will never pay this balance back. I will come after your employee who is giving himself time to divert my money to his prepaid debit card!

    Beware of Discover's Shocking Lack of Customer Empathy. I recently had the most astonishingly terrible customer service experience with Discover, and I feel compelled to share my story to warn others about the shocking lack of empathy and assistance I encountered. Despite being in the Executive Office of Customer Advocacy, Joseph and the Discover team openly acknowledged their ability to address a late payment issue but callously declared they were "unwilling" to do so. This response, or lack thereof, left me questioning if their role truly encompasses advocating for the consumer. The complete disinterest in resolving my concerns reflected poorly on Discover's commitment to its customers. It is abundantly clear that they have zero regard for their customers as individuals. This has undeniably been the worst customer service experience I have ever encountered.

    I want to emphasize that I will not rest until this unfortunate experience with Discover's customer service is widely known. It is my responsibility to ensure that others are made aware of the lack of support and empathy they may encounter as Discover customers. Discover's handling of my situation has been nothing short of a disgrace, and I implore others to reconsider choosing them for their financial needs. No customer should be subjected to such callous treatment, especially when it could have been a straightforward matter for them to do the right thing.

    I have a Discover credit card. No problems. I have a Discover savings account. No problems. They touted their new cash back debit card. I applied and was sent one in short order...but...problems. I tried to activate the debit card online. Problems. I called a rep and patiently, verbally verified my identity. That wasn't good enough. He wanted me to upload my driver's license (and possibly other docs) but I interrupted him only to say no. I understand that they want to protect themselves, but uploading docs online wouldn't protect me. I told the rep that I was going to cut the debit card into pieces. I did so immediately after the call.

    Document uploading demands are increasing with more and more companies. Even after complying, they still tend to refuse service. I'd had that negative experience with another company, and will never upload docs again. I'd rather divorce myself from any company that states such a demand - even if that means having no credit card at all. Therefore, even though the debit card is listed on my Discover account, it remains at zero. I've zeroed my savings account, too. Depending upon the possible merger Discover may have with Capital One, I may rid myself of the Discover credit card as well. Discover has sadly gone downhill. If you are considering doing business with them, this would be a very bad time, and possibly a very bad decision.

    Deceptive and total lack of transparency! Don't explain what interest saving balance will be, and no way to have payments go to interest accruing balance. Instead, they apply all the payments to the 0% interest balance transfer. No way to pay off the interest accruing purchases other than pay off the entire balance, including the 0% balance transfer. What is the point of a balance transfer unless you buy nothing? Fine, but they need to explain all of this carefully. The card stinks. Notice the difference in number of stars between this and Chase. I have loved Chase, always very clear and transparent. Never had a problem. Also, Discover has an upfront fee for balance transfers which isn't made explicit until the transaction is completed.

    I had Discover for about 8 years and when I first got them, I loved them! But the longer you're with them the more screwed you become. I had to use my Discover in 2020 after I lost my job… just to be able to eat. And well they took full advantage of that and charged a ton of interest and then as interest rates rose, obviously so did my interest rate to a staggering 29%. I could barely afford the minimum and the interest literally made the minimum I was paying not even scratch the surface of what I owed. Basically, my min was $182, and my interest was $178 each month… so it was going down… by like $4. I tried calling multiple times and saying I’m going through a hardship I need help, I can’t pay this. They froze my account and lowered the min to $100 and the interest to $50 a month for 2 months…. Okay thanks that really helped me.

    Mind you, according to the pay off prediction it would take 30 years to pay off if I paid the minimum, why would 2 months at that rate do anything??? You froze my account, just leave it like that for a least 6 months, a year??? Like I have never been late ever and I have been a customer of theirs for years but because I got screwed over cause of a global pandemic and I needed to eat, I am now screwed… Well I eventually got approved for a loan to consolidate my debt and get a lower interest rate and the bank that approved it took a while to approve it. So by the time the payoff amount came the payoff number that bank had was $30 more than paying off Discover.

    The bank wouldn’t let me change it cause it was what was approved so they told me to send it anyway… I then had a credit of $30. I called and asked for that credit back. They said, "You need to wait until the 25th for the new billing cycle." (Mind you this is the beginning of that month), well I waited!!!!! And guess what???? My balance which was -$30 and THEY owed me… they charged me interest!!!! $55 of interest!!!! So now I owe them again!!! I called them and after being on hold forever while they figured out why this would happen and they were talking to their manager they said the manager will have to look at it and refund me this money and then I need to call back in 48 hours to then request my $30 check!!!

    You have my address, you have my bank… why do I need to request something that should be automatic…. Well I am not sure if they will move this forward because they’re saying that there justified in charging me the interest of $55 because from the 25th of the last month to the beginning of the next… when I paid it all off… I still had a balance so for a week in that billing cycle I had a balance, so that $55 is the back pay from when I still owed… like how crooked can that be!!! To be fair the people you talk to are super nice and understanding, I truly believe this is the higher-ups at Discover that don’t care about their customers… well besides getting new ones.. thanks for screwing me Discover…

    I was the victim of credit card fraud/unauthorized use for nearly two years. I called Discover immediately after noticing suspicious activity. Calling Discover was stressful and not helpful. My calls were transferred and dropped on numerous occasions, and the dispute process was confusing and overwhelming. Some representatives were belittling, and it seemed like they were trying to upset me. One representative even laughed at me. I was also placed on hold for over three hours. It felt like Discover was trying to make it difficult for me to get information and dispute charges.

    I called Discover regularly and disputed nearly $6,000 of charges. However, Discover only credited me for several charges. Discover canceled my cards and issued new ones on several occasions, but fraudulent activity continued to occur. After nearly two years, someone from a different credit card company suggested that I change my account password. Once I did that, the fraudulent activity ended. If Discover had informed me of this earlier, many of the charges could have been prevented. Discover advertises that its services are safe and customers have fraud protection. However, that was not what I experienced. Discover’s treatment of elderly and handicapped customers, such as myself, is inadequate and abusive.

    What is the point? If I want to stop "new charges" I will just decide not to use my card. The only reason to block purchases is to stop recurring charges. If I had fraud, I would just get a new card number so there is literally no point in suspending all my purchases. If I get a new card number the purchases will continue on my new card.
