RIVERWOODS, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Discover announces the launch of a new and innovative rewards program
for its Cashback Checking product where customers can earn cash back for
making everyday debit card purchases. Discover Cashback Checking®
customers now earn 1 percent cash back on up to $3,000 in qualifying
debit card purchases each month.1 The new rewards program is
one of the many distinctive features that set this product apart in the
industry, including no monthly fees, no minimum balances and access to
no-fee ATMs in the U.S.
“We know customers are looking for something truly different, which is
why we created a checking account that not only rewards customers with
cash back when they use their own money, but also helps them save by not
charging any fees,” said Arijit Roy, vice president of Deposits at
Discover. “Discover Cashback Checking was developed with the same great
features and benefits for which our company is known, such as award
winning, 100% U.S.-based customer service and the peace of mind knowing
we take proactive steps to safeguard your money and information.”
Customers can redeem their Checking Cashback Bonus via a credit
to their Cashback Checking account or transfer it to a Discover credit
card Cashback Bonus account.
