Discover now makes it easier than ever for cardmembers to get their CashBack Bonus® whenever they want at any amount. In addition, CashBack Bonus rewards will never expire.

Giving our cardmembers easier access to their rewards echoes Discover’s commitment to help our cardmembers get more value from their credit card. Cardmembers can now redeem their Cashback Bonus for as little as a penny in the following ways:

  • Apply rewards to their statement balance
  • Deposit rewards directly into their bank accounts
  • Purchase items directly from several online partners
  • Make charitable donations

And, rather than have rewards forfeited at account closure or for inactivity, we'll credit the cardmember's account with their Cashback Bonus balance.

“We know our customers want the most rewards possible, but equally important is their ability to use them when they want,” said Heather L. Roche, vice president of rewards at Discover. "We are excited to give our cardmembers more redemption flexibility."

Since 1986, when Discover was the first company to offer cashback rewards, cardmembers have earned over $12 billion in Cashback Bonus.

Apart from the more flexible redemption program, another way Discover taps in to consumer needs is that it was the first major credit card company to provide its customers with free FICO® Credit Scores on monthly billing statements and online.
