Discover has great communication with customers regarding benefits, promotions, text when purchases are made. Only negative is that I have had my card for quite a few years, always paid on time & have been a outstanding customer, but my interest rate never goes down.

If there were 0 stars, I would give it deservingly. I have been a loyal member of Discover since October 2011. In those 9 years, I have missed a total of 2 late payments due to forgetting the due date. I have paid them off in full immediately. Fast forward to October 2020, I have not used the credit card in the past 7 months (recent activity was on Feb 2020) due to COVID. I had no balance and was in good standing. Discover decided to close my account without any prior NOTICE or warning.
I received an email (after the closure of my account) stating that my account was now closed due to inactivity and it was a permanent decision. I called them to find out what this was all about as it was not stated in their terms and conditions. They stated that this was a new policy that they were implementing and Discover had no obligations to issue any prior notice of warning. This is highly UNETHICAL and ILLEGAL practice of business. I would've expected Discover to have some decent standards considering they are a large credit company and the fact that I had a clean history with them. From reading other recent comments, it looks like there is a common pattern happening with enforcing unethical practices toward consumers.
I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST GIVING ANY BUSINESS TO DISCOVER. It seems like they are having some economical trouble within their company (possibly due to COVID). It just doesn't make sense and the timing of the situation with suddenly changing their terms without notification of any kind, seemed off. Do not recommend Discover!

I had been a Discover Card holder for 29 yrs. My credit limit was $14500. At the time I closed my account I found out that I had been deceived about the 1% cash back on all purchases. In fact, I was getting .25% back on the first $3000 charged each year and 1% back after that. In all their ads and brochures, this was never made explicit. As a result, I disputed the final cash back bonus with them, causing me to be $7.00 "delinquent" for over 60 days. This is now on my credit reports for the next 7 years and is responsible for my only getting a $4000 credit limit on my newer credit card. I think this is very bad business practices for a very good customer.

I’ve applied and was accepted for the Discover Credit card roughly 2 years ago. It was my very first credit card ever. Having it has helped me build credit. It also allows me to use my monthly cashback earnings on Amazon.com. Another great thing was that my credit line had increased from $650 to $1200, then from$2700 to now $4200. With the higher credit line come more frequent transactions, so both good and bad. There’s also zero monthly fee. Not sure if it’s because I’m still a student or not, but that’s always nice to see in a credit card.

I called Discover at 10:00 pm on a Sunday and explained what happened, within 15 minutes the pending charge was stopped/frozen reported as fraudulent as well as the other 6 charges on my account.

I file my taxes jointly and my husband is not on this credit card and he refuses to give someone that access to his information and said that’s ridiculous and intrusive.
So I reached back out to them since this was supposedly to verify my identity and told them the situation and they said then they have no other choice than to close my account. I find this behavior of this company during such a hard time for our country to be less than caring for their customers. Especially one that’s trying to do the right thing and pay them back. I think someone should look into this because it sounds very unethical.

The Discover credit card is one thing, their banking is quite another. Simply put, they don't know how to conduct banking transactions. Just two examples, a) Their website is down sometimes when you're most likely to use it (!), i.e. on Sunday mornings. Or they'll do maintenance and cut off half the capabilities EVERY weekend. b) They don't know how to do outgoing wire transfers(!). You have to fax or upload the transfer request form, then call them to verify your information. Then you have to wait 1-3 business days for THEM to call you back and authenticate your transfer request. I kid you not folks. Upon speaking with a supervisor, she told me that international wire transfers take 1-3 weeks to be processed at Discover(!). Of course almost all other banks send them out in 1 or 2 business days.

After being a Discover card member for many years and having a substantial credit line with them, I was notified by Discover they have closed my account because I PAID the balance off and had not used the card for over 18 months. As a responsible, PAYING account holder, my account was closed simply because I have not made new charges since paying the balance off. Additionally, I did NOT receive notification that my account was to be closed if no new charges were made. Had I been given the opportunity I would have made minimal charges and paid them at the end of each billing cycle.
While credit card companies, lenders, etc. are waiving fees and payments during the COVID pandemic, Discover is closing an account for a customer who never made a late payment and who paid off the entire balance. After speaking with their customer service today they told me they can't reverse the decision but I can apply for a new Discover account. No thank you Discover.

I was promised an investigation and a refund of late charges as I've never been late and always pay on time and had no idea there was a balance since I wasn't using cards.
I get another bill for another charge after cards are closed. Never get new cards and said how could there be a balance. Cards closed and in fraud review. Not one person could answer why so I made the payment as they said it's in "late status" again. How could there be a new charge on closed cards? Furthermore they said I wouldn't be getting new cards due to "their intense investigation into the fraudulent charges" as if the charges were not mine. No explanation. Nothing after paying perfect for many years. Terrible service. Terrible card.

Been a Discover cardholder since back in the days when some businesses didn’t accept it. The easiest card issuer/bank to do business with of any I’ve used—and I’ve had many credit cards. Whenever they notice ‘unusual’ card activity they contact me to verify before deactivating the card—great feature when traveling. The flexibility of the Cashback Bonus program is an awesome way to save money!

I have been happy with Discover since 2009 so much so that when my son was in high school, I helped him get a card in order to build credit. However, out of the blue, they cancelled my card due to inactivity. Mind you I just sent my last payment to them in September of 2019. It would not cost them anything to simply send an email, text or letter giving me a choice. What is most disappointing is that I’ve always been punctual as it pertains to my payments and have never faltered. Silly me, I thought that would have made me a great customer. Not happy at all but hey, I’m just one customer. They don’t need me.

Their internal systems have twice flagged small purchases that weren't mine, were found to be "tests" of the card. Both times I had new cards within 48 hours and everything transferred to the new cards. Also, once there was a mysterious payment of $1 from an unknown bank. I called Discover, they determined to be safe to change the card, and did an investigation. Turned out there was a lot of that going on. To me, the only drawback to the rewards system is that certain merchants/types are highlighted just per quarter for maximum rewards. That means you have to go online and "enroll" each time they change. Would rather have a set % on everything.

I have a Discover card, it has a fairly high credit limit, and I have never paid late. When COVID-19 hit, I didn't ask Discover for any assistance. Instead, I made a large payment to reduce my balance and give my credit score a boost. Discover immediately (same day) responded by lowering my credit limit by the amount of my payment, causing my credit score to drop.

The phone associate simply told me that they were doing this right now. I asked if it was corporate policy to cancel long standing accounts with zero notice or warning, and that if I'd been informed, I would have used the account to keep it active. His reply was "yeah..

The rewards might be okay, but if you're looking for a card that will protect you from shady merchants, you're probably better off to keep looking. I ordered leather cowboys boots from a merchant online, but the boots I received looked nothing like those that were pictured in the ad. They looked like plastic, with cheap little buckles and zippers up the side for crying out loud! It was very clear they were a copy, but they weren't even a good copy!
I first tried to resolve the issue with the vendor, but instead of cancelling my second order that had not yet arrived and giving me a return shipping address for the boots I had already received as I requested, they suggested (in broken English) that I gift them to a friend or family member if I did not like them. I finally gave up and filed a dispute with Discover card customer service. I provided them photos of the boots as advertised, photos of the boots I received, screenshots of complaints from other people who had been ripped off like me, and all of my email correspondence with the company with the company trying to resolve the issue prior to filing a dispute. Slam dunk, right? Yeah, think again.
Two months later I receive notification saying the dispute for one purchase had been made in my favor but the other decided in the merchant's favor. Astounded, I contacted them by phone. I was told that the merchant had not responded to one dispute and that's why it was resolved in my favor. As for the other dispute, the merchant claimed that my money had been refunded and Discover card said I still had the boots from the first order. I explained that that yes, only because they refused to give me a return shipping address to ship them to. I explained that the return address on the shipping label when I received the boots was that of a third party shipper and they required the merchant's permission to ship them back to that address.
I contacted Discover card several times, and each time they wanted me to send another email to the company asking for a return address and to ask them what method they used to refund my money as they had claimed. The Discover card folks kept telling me that their decision must be documents based and without verification that the merchant never issued a refund they must rule in the merchant's favor. What??? How am I supposed to prove they never sent a refund? If their decisions are documents based, shouldn't THEY be asking the MERCHANT, and not me, for documents showing that they issued a refund?
Bottom line, everyone I spoke with at Discover card (to include a supervisor named Greg) seemed reluctant, scared even, to contact the merchant and ask them for proof of a refund sent, or even for a return shipping address. I thought Greg was finally going to man up and do it, but five minutes after I got off the phone with him he called me back asking ME to send the merchant another email asking them what method they used to refund the money. So, I still have a pair of shiny vinyl cowboy boots and a whole new opinion of Discover card customer service. Apparently Discover card is great as long as you never have a problem with a merchant trying to rip you off. But if you do, just keep in mind that the only way it appears that Discover card will rule in YOUR favor is if the merchant doesn't respond to the complaint.

Mom passed last year and Discover will not credit the $30 auto renew charge from another unscrupulous vendor that preys on senior citizens. It happened just like I knew it would and Discover will not do a darn thing about it. They offered to deduct the $30 charge from the cash back bonus Mom had coming, in other words, they are going to get paid for an account you can never close. Even after you die it can still go on. User's recommendation: Anyone should steer clear of Discover as they prey on vulnerable adults.
Original Review: My mother of 96 years has a Discover Card since 1988 and has "given" the card number to a few unscrupulous retailers that Discover sold her information to. Discover was agreeable to stopping payments to some of those vendors, and I thought this is a pretty good card to with. That was then, now Mom does not know where her card is, has not used it since. She went to memory care 6 months ago. One of her insurance companies' drug coverage used the card (signed up for auto payment) for a charge of 3 dollars. I get all her bills and saw Discover was owed $3. I called and Discover accepted a payment for $3 to draw from her bank account. I told them the card is gone, we will not use it, and I want to cancel it. They will not cancel the card without talking to the account holder! That account holder does not know her son, let alone a credit card number.
Discover has an entire crew of rude and cavalier phone people that will indeed take your payment, without telling you that they will withdraw it automatically if set up that way. Hence, the day I called and paid by phone, they withdrew money from Mom's checking account to double the payment. When I asked, "What if she dies?" and the answer did not change, when the card expires, they will renew it and there is no cost. They will not give me the $3 back and they will not cancel the card. They want to ensure that someone can scam her into more payments again, and they stand a good chance to get the "late" charges for tardy responses. This is the worst company for scamming elderly that I have ever witnessed and they are proud of their accomplishments, and the families of those card holders carry no weight with this collection behemoth. Worst, I had to rate this a one. No rating deserved.

The Discover card will always ask if you would like cash back during a sale. If you accidentally or intentionally hit any button other than no, this will be considered a cash advance and all charges on your account will begin accruing interest, a lot of interest. Cash advance rates are very high. The interest on your account will be skyrocketing, beginning the second you hit that button.

I never missed a payment and paid off my balance several times. I currently had a zero balance, but they cancelled my card because I had not used it in a while. They did not communicate at all and after sending me continuous letters in the mail to get a home equity line (over and over and over again), I find it rather disappointing that they could not send a letter to let me know that I had not used my card and that they might close my account if I did not use it. I called to converse with a representative from Discover and it was one of the most unpleasant individuals I have ever dealt with over the phone.
This company/bank should be avoided by all. I would very much like to see them dropped in the same manner they have dropped many of their reliable customers. The representative was terse and stated that, "oh well, this is how we do things here and yes we understand we will lose "some" customers. Stay away!!!! There are way better cards out there.... Capital One is 1% cashback all of the time. None of the B.S. with Discover deciding when and where you will get cashback. BYE, BYE DISCOVER!!!!

I am writing this to explain what it's like to do all your banking through a credit card company. I had 4 accounts with Discover - personal credit card, business credit card, savings account and checking/debit account. What I learned is that these 4 accounts are all dealt with separately and do not communicate with each other. I had been a loyal Discover member for many years and had high credit (700's). I changed how I paid my business discover card and because of a weird series of events missed two minimum payments. They never called me, they sent me 1 email which got lost in the dozens of emails I get daily from them and did not send anything by mail. They did not move money from my savings to my business credit card like any other bank would have done. Nothing.
The only reason I found out was because I called them to dispute a charge on my account. I did everything electronically and never had issues. I had ample funds in my savings/checking to cover the small minimum payment that was due. They wouldn't talk to me and shut down my business credit card and even shut down my personal credit card which had no missed payments!!! No discussion. No consideration of the years spent with them. I was beyond disappointed and frustrated that after all the time I had been with them they treated me like a criminal. I would never recommend them.

Discover Card. They will jack the interest up to astronomical levels for being one month late and not negotiate. This is greed to the next level. Beware. This is not a good card to go with. Chase is much better to work with during these tough times.

I been with Discover for about 2 years. Credit limit was around about 9000. Always paid on time. Discover sent me a consolidation Loan request and the interest rate was good so I applied for a 4000 loan and consolidated a couple of credit cards. A week later I get a email my account is froze unless I sign a 4506-T form with the IRS. I explain to them I was retired and haven't paid taxes. I was told by Discover it was only to verify my address. After signing it the IRS responded they couldn't verify my address being I HAVE NOT FILED TAXES. I BEEN RETIRED FOR 10 years. So in a nutshell Discover closed my account because of my retirement income which violate ECOA. I told them it's a lot of ways to verify an address even using the social security administration.

I’m a prior Discover customer. I just received the first garnishment for a $10k credit card balance due to non payment after being out of work for 4 months. Now back to work and trying to catch up, Discover is taking $1200+ a month or 15% of my salary. During the pandemic. I was someone who was virtually in the edge of foreclosure, Thanks Discover, you’ve made certain to seal that fate.

I had to file a dispute with Discover that was over 6 months old. I never received a wedding package that I paid for and it turns out that the company just closed. I followed up with the company and never heard a response so I thought I would call to see if I can dispute the charges. Discover was so helpful and empathetic to my situation. I was pretty emotional and they took care of my request. They reversed the charges. I’m so grateful for their assistance. I would much rather have the wedding package but since my odds are against me, I’m glad they were able to alleviate the financial burden of paying for something that I never received. Amazing experience with Discover!

I had a Discover Card for 3 years. Always paid on time and even paying off the balance a few times. Then out of the blue I get an email that I am over my credit limit. It turns out they lowered my credit limit for some reason which caused me to be $200 over my new limit. They did notify me that it was lowered several days later and after it was over the new lower limit. I tried reaching out to their customer service first via chat. After getting no response for 15 min that way I tried calling only to be put on hold for almost 20 min before finally hanging up. I have shelved the card and will pay it off once and for all and want nothing to do with Discover Card after this.

My husband and I have been loyal customers for 3 years and never had an issue with paying our bills on time because we had automatic payments set up. January of 2020 Discover decided to not take out the payment we realized in February 2020, we called and was ensured that the manager had fixed the problem. Fast forward to March 2020 and nothing has been fixed. In fact Discover reported to Equifax for miss payment which has dropped my husband's score 63 points. So we decided to pay off the entire debt February 2020 but discover have yet to report the pay off. #unsatisfiedcustomers #donewithdiscover

I have been a loyal Discover card holder since 1997. On the January, 2020 statement I double paid $5,380.00. As soon as I realized my mistake during the first week of February, I contacted customer service and requested a refund. Unfortunately I have had nothing but a terrible experience ever since. I have been calling multiple times with no satisfactory results to my problem. The information I am receiving from different account managers is contradictory and confusing. Each time I call I get a different story. "The check was already mailed", "we are sorry it wasn't mailed yet", "it was definitely mailed", "you might receive it any day", etc, etc.. I have spoken to supervisors and to the billing department. I spoke to another account manager who told me that the check was mailed on March 3, 2020. This the same check that was supposedly mailed weeks ago. This situation makes me rethink if I really want to be a discover card customer at all.

I called them to figure out my mom’s credit card dispute. They were very unprofessional. They transferred me to the wrong department and made me repeat myself so many times, and when I said that I had already explained, the customer service representative was very rude. I do not recommend that you ever open an account with them. Chase, Capital One and of course American Express are the best. The experience with Discover has been very mediocre.

I could NOT believe it, Discover CC, whom I have had for 3 years, whom I paid off 1 time and also ALWAYS paid my card on TIME, said that I was CANCELLED, because I went over my account and I didn't really do that, because they actually took off a $1000 from my account, which I have NEVER had any credit card do and also they should have WARNED me that they were going to do that BEFORE I got canceled, but they didn't they just said I went over and they canceled my card, I was in total SHOCK, so they will reap what they sow.

I asked for a line of credit increase and was privately sent a response based upon my review with my experience. My FICO score was low when I started and increased over time. I received an increase after 6 months to 1 year of $50. Paid on time and never skipped a payment, my credit score increased since enrolling and was given an unsecured card after 1 year. Privately (Discover inbox) I was told... "chances of getting an increase is slim to none" after giving my honest opinion about this consumer.

Discover card is a great credit card but it has been two years since they said they will call me for more information. I waited two years so, at that time, I going to give up on a credit card from discover and look for a better credit card. I tried calling customer service during the past two years and telling me the same thing that they sent my discover card and has arrived. The mailing is correct because I get my orders from amazon to my doorstep when I get home. So why is it so hard for them to send me a credit card? It felt like they don't care about their customers and only want to take your money and leave you in the dust which has been two years for me even though they said that I have an account all a sudden when I don't even have the credit card in hand. What a waste of my time if they keep sending me emails when I don't even have a card.

Opened card 2 years ago, was using heavily, never missed a payment on neither of my cards. One day account suspended, requested many papers including 4056 IRS form. I'm not willing to share my taxes with a credit card that's 100%, they closed an account. Will never ever apply again for this card. Worthless.

I was Discover credit card client for quite a long time. Less than a year ago the balance on the card was 0. I just decided to use other cards for a while. They closed my account before the end of the year with no courtesy call to even check if I still need the card or want to be their client. After noticing the card doesn't work, I called them to see what happened. They told me to reapply for a new card. Their TV ads really do not reflect their actual customer service. Now I see it is actually no wonder most merchants do not even accept it.
