Took me filing a complaint with the CFPB to get my $50 bonus. They kept telling me they had to send it to their special promotions people to confirm I’m eligible even though I sent them all the confirmation they needed. Finally got the bonus but I’ll be closing my accounts as soon as I can and never do business with Discover again.

My husband and I both applied for accounts. I was the one with the mailing; he just gave them the same code. He received his $50. I only received $25. I have called five different times and have filed 2 complaints…still haven’t received a response! I told them I am ready to close this account and both my credit cards. Really frustrating that it takes more than three months to rectify an error. I told the last person I talked to that if this is any indication of how they address an error, maybe I don’t want to do any banking with them!

The e-mail that you posted has code save3515, not save315.

Two different e-mails, one is 3515 other is 315

Ok – I’m trying my luck. After you start the new account process, it asks for your code (it’s pre-filled), on the next screen, it mentions it again. Note that if you have to go back to the previous screen (where the code shows up), it will be blank and you’ll need to re-enter that code. On the last page, it says “Offer Code SAVE315 applied. The $50 offer is valid through 5/15/15. Offer limited to new customers only. Limit 1 per customer and 1 per account. Offer good on Discover Online Savings Accounts only. To receive the $50 offer, Offer Code must be used when applying by 5/15/15 and a minimum deposit of $5,000 in new funds must be received by 5/31/15. Online Savings Account must be open at the time the bonus is paid. Bonus is considered interest and will be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT. Offer may be withdrawn at any time without notice.”
The wording “Offer limited to new customers only” is confusing, since it’s a targeted offer for customers of the Discover card. Perhaps, technically, Discover Bank may be a different company, so perhaps I can’t get the $50 bonus since I already have a Discover checking account.

I think they mean new customers to Discover savings. Let us know if the bonus posts or not.

When I go to the link, I don’t get anything about a $50 bonus. Perhaps they have nixed this? I’ve already gotten a Discover checking account. Something else I read said that people with checking accounts weren’t eligible, so I’m not sure.
