HOW WE WILL CALCULATE YOUR BALANCE:
We use a method called "daily balance (including new transactions)."
HOW WE CALCULATE VARIABLE RATES BASED ON THE PRIME RATE:

We use the highest U.S. Prime Rate listed in the online The Wall Street Journal (www.wsj.com) on the last business day of the month. For the purchase APR, we add from 9.74% to 18.74% to the Prime Rate based on your creditworthiness. When we evaluate your creditworthiness, we consider your credit report, all the information you provided and other information. Customers with the best credit profiles receive the lowest rates. Some customers may receive higher rates and may be offered an account with different rates or terms, including no introductory rates but the same cash back rewards offer. For the cash advance APR, we add 21.74% to the Prime Rate. Your variable APRs will never be less than zero or higher than 29.99%.

BALANCE TRANSFERS:
This offer applies to balance transfers that post to your account by 3/10/2024. It takes at least 14 days after your account is opened to process payments to your other accounts. You may cancel a balance transfer at any time prior to that by calling 1-800-347-3085. Continue to make all required payments to your other accounts until you confirm that the balance transfers were made. Balance transfers may not be used to pay any Discover accounts and do not earn rewards. You may transfer any amount, up to your credit available for transfers, which may be less than your total credit line. If your balance transfer request will exceed your available credit, we will process your transfers for less than the amount requested, in the order requested. You may only make balance transfers to accounts that list you as an accountholder. The minimum payment requirement can cause promotional balances to be paid in full prior to the end of the promotional period. There is no grace period on your balance transfers. If you take advantage of this balance transfer offer, you will be charged interest on purchases unless your purchase APR is at a promotional 0% APR. To avoid interest on new purchases after you transfer a balance, you must pay all balances on your account, including any balances you transfer under this offer, in full by the first payment due date. See your Cardmember Agreement for details.
PAYMENT ALLOCATION:
We apply payments and credits at our discretion, including in a manner most favorable or convenient for us. Each billing period, we will generally apply amounts you pay that exceed the minimum payment due to balances with higher APRs before balances with lower APRs as of the date we credit your payment.

REWARDS:

We will send full terms and conditions with your card. You earn a full 2% Cashback Bonus® on your first $1000 in combined purchases at Gas Stations (stand-alone), and Restaurants each calendar quarter. Calendar quarters begin January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Purchases at Gas Stations and Restaurants over the quarterly cap, and all other purchases, earn 1% cash back. Gas Station purchases include those made at merchants classified as places that sell automotive gasoline that can be bought at the pump or inside the station, and some public electric vehicle charging stations. Gas Stations affiliated with supermarkets, supercenters, and wholesale clubs may not be eligible. Restaurant purchases include those made at merchants classified as full-service restaurants, cafes, cafeterias, fast-food locations, and restaurant delivery services. Purchases must be made with merchants in the U.S. To qualify for 2%, the purchase transaction date must be before or on the last day of the offer or promotion. For online purchases, the transaction date from the merchant may be the date when the item ships. Rewards are added to your account within two billing periods. Even if a purchase appears to fit in a 2% category, the merchant may not have a merchant category code (MCC) in that category. Merchants and payment processors are assigned an MCC based on their typical products and services. Discover Card does not assign MCCs to merchants. Certain third-party payment accounts and digital wallet transactions may not earn 2% if the technology does not provide sufficient transaction details or a qualifying MCC. Learn more at Discover.com/digitalwallets. See Cashback Bonus Program Terms and Conditions for more information.

Redeem your Cashback Bonus® – any amount, any time. Rewards never expire. We reserve the right to determine the method to disburse your rewards balance.

You may redeem your Cashback Bonus in any amount, starting at a penny, for a Statement Credit to your Account, as an Electronic Deposit to an eligible checking or savings account that you designate, as a charitable donation to select charities, or Pay with Cashback Bonus at select merchant(s). Visit Discover.com/redeem for a list of current merchant(s). Redeem Cashback Bonus® for gift cards at popular brands, starting at $5.

We may prevent you from redeeming your rewards based on your account status. Your Account must also not be used for any illegal transactions. We apply security measures before clearing a redemption that may limit your ability to redeem in certain channels or result in a delay. All redemptions are final. If your card is reported lost or stolen, you may not be able to earn or redeem rewards for approximately 24-48 hours.
