Earn Up To $500 With Discover Credit Card Refer a Friend Program

Do you have a Discover credit card?  If the answer is yes, you can earn cash for referring the Discover card to your family or friends (if they apply and are approved using your referral).  If you refer a friend who becomes a new Discover cardmember, you could both get $50 Statement Credit.  If you do not yet have a Discover card, make sure you use a referral link to earn a $50 sign up bonus as a statement credit.

How to use Discover Refer a Friend to Generate/Share Referral Link

Here are step by step instructions for generating a Discover credit card referral link:

1. Log into your credit card account at discover.com.

2. Click on the “Rewards” column at the top and then click on the “Refer a Friend” option.

4.  There are 4 options for sharing your referral link with friends and family.  You can have Discover send an email to your friend on your behalf, or instantly share your referral link on facebook, twitter or facebook messenger.

You will receive a $50 Statement Credit referral reward if your friend applies for the specific offer you send via the link provided and is approved by December 31, 2020.

Rules For Discover Refer a Friend Bonus

According to Discover.com, following are the rules for earning a Discover refer a friend bonus:

• Each eligible friend will receive a $50 statement credit after making a purchase within three months of opening a new Discover account.
• There is a maximum of 10 referral rewards ($500) per calendar year.
• You are not eligible to refer a friend if you have a Discover it® Secured Credit Card, or Discover it® Business Card.
• Your account must be in good standing to receive your referral reward.
• Existing Discover cardmembers and those who have opted out of receiving market communications from Discover are not eligible referrals.
• You will not be notified whether a specific referral was approved or declined.
• Allow up to 1-2 billing periods for the statement credit to post to your account after each referral is approved.
• Statement Credits you receive may be taxable to you.

If you are interested in applying for a Discover card and do not know anyone to send you a referral, we would be grateful if you use our referral link.  Once you have a Discover card you can then generate your own referral bonus in the future. You are also welcome to leave your referral links or email in the comments below.

    Please consider using my referral link.

    Here are the details: You will receive a $50 Cashback Bonus after you make your first purchase within 3 months of being approved. The bonus will be available within 8 weeks. The bonus will then be doubled after 12 months, so you will receive $100 total ($50 initial plus another $50 at the end of 12 months).

    Discover It offers a 5% Cashback Bonus for every dollar you spend in rotating categories up to each quarterly maximum of $1,500. Categories have included gas, restaurants, Amazon, and grocery stores. You will receive 1% on all other purchases. Right now they have an offer where after 12 months of having your card, all of the rewards you earn will be doubled, so at a minimum you are earning 2% cashback for every purchase and 10% cashback for revolving categories the first year of having your card.

    You may redeem your rewards for cash (in any increment), use them to shop at various stores such as Amazon, or use them to purchase discounted gift cards to places like Macy’s, Marshalls, Kohls, Dominos, and Lowes. There are a ton of places to choose from.

    In addition, Discover has one of the best buying portals around called Discover Deals where you may earn additional cashback. The portal has over 150 stores to choose from. Offers have included 10% cash back for Macy’s, 25% cash back for Papa Johns, 5% cash back for Kohls, 10% cashback for Dell purchases, and 5% cashback for Walmart purchases. This cashback will also be doubled after 12 months. Earning 10% cashback at Walmart is awesome!

    I have two Discover It cards. The customer service is excellent! I highly recommend this card. It is one of the best rewards cards on the market.

    Sadly discovering must have tired of doubling the $50, so now we only get $50 statement credit, effective Jan 1, 2018. I’d still be very thankful if you use my link. I have not referred anyone this year 🙁

    Also, Discover really is fantastic. I’m a big fan. They’ll give you 0% APR for your first 6 months, and they always give you at least 1% cashback, 5% if it matches the months category! Not to mention the cool card designs

      Become a Discover Cardmember and get a $100 Statement Credit when you make your first purchase within three months. Then, earn rewards with every purchase after that.

    Referral link still valid! Sign up for Discover Card (the best credit card, if you ask me) with referral link below and get a $100 statement credit after first purchase when made within three months. Easy as that for $100 free. https://refer.discover.com/s/SUZANNE477
