My husband and I each opened a Discover account last fall under an offer for a $100 bonus for each if we spent $500.00 in the first 3 months of having the card. We both did so but when we called Discover to ask for our bonus to be applied, it said it knew nothing about such a bonus. When we asked for a supervisor, the supervisor said the same thing. I guess there’s nothing we can do since we didn’t know we should print out and save the ad for the card that we applied for–we though Discover was reputable!

Curious Cat: Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Discover. I have only had my Discover card for a few months, and haven’t had any problems yet. My wife, on the other hand, has had a Discover Card rewards card for the last 10 years or so, and she has never had any problems receiving her cash back.

I read your article and the cash back seemed like a weird technicality based on their rules (I’m not agreeing with it at all, however!).

Any time there is money on the line, someone will try to find a way out of it – look at all the legalese on every credit card agreement, checking or savings account, loan, contract, rental agreement, etc. It’s a pain.

I wouldn't trust Discover Card. They have refused to pay the money they owed me (earned as a cash back bonus over several years). And still have failed to do so over a year later: Incredibly Bad Customer Service from Discover Card. Now credit card companies are often know to provide bad service, but, to me, just refusing to pay the money they owe is a bit too much to ask me to accept and still trust such a company.
