The Offer
No direct link to offer, must use a referral link
- Some Discover it cardholders are being offered the ability to refer for a $100 bonus to both parties. Must make one purchase within 3 months of being approved
Card Benefits
- No annual fee
- Card earns 5% cash back on rotating categories (up to $1,500 in spend per quarter)
- Earn double cash back for your first year as a member (doesn’t apply to the sign up bonus as that is statement credit rather than cash back)
- Offer valid until December 31, 2021
Our Verdict
Bonus is significantly more interesting if a friend/family member is referring you and/or if you can take advantage of the 5% rotating categories. It is nice that this is a cash bonus and only requires a single purchase for those that struggle to meet minimum spend requirements and there is usually only a sign up bonus of $75 on this card. Because of that we will be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses. Do not share your referrals in the comments below, share them in these linked post instead.
Hat tip to US Credit Card Guide
No saying ‘click my name’ for the link. Only leave a comment here if it’s actually relevant to deal. No sharing your link
The referral for $100 seems to be alive: “You will receive a $100 Statement Credit after making a purchase within three months of account opening. You must apply through your friend’s referral link and be approved by December 31, 2022 in order to be eligible for the $100 Statement Credit offer. Offer may not be combined with any other introductory offer. Promotional award will be applied within 8 weeks.”
It’s definitely still alive.
still alive
Yep
Can I refer my friend to the Discover it card if he has a Discover Miles card already? Will both parties get the bonus?
I just got a mailer about this from Discover. Included some “referral tickets” with a link and QR code to my referral link. $100 statement credit for both parties as long as you referred friend makes a purchase in the first 3 months after approval.
Interestingly enough, on Discover’s website I don’t qualify for the referral link… Saids my account doesn’t qualify for this offer.
Still alive, share links again? 😊

I don’t think it ever left. Some people only see the $50 referral though. Mine is $100.
I second this.
I’ve updated the post but won’t be opening it up to referrals.
This doesn’t actually seem to be expired as I can still see it available and worked for P2 to refer P1 recently. Perhaps YMMV?
Just received this offer in email today. Was not targeted previously.
Here’s a snippet of the terms. Looks like expiry is 12/31/2022. Will share a referral in the linked post.

1. You will receive a $100 statement credit referral reward if your friend applies for the specific offer you send via the link provided and is approved by December 31, 2022. Maximum of $500 in referral rewards 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. Each eligible friend will receive a $100 statement credit after making a purchase within three months of opening a new Discover account. Existing Discover cardmembers and those who have opted out of receiving marketing communications from Discover are not eligible referrals. You will not be notified whether a specific referral was approved or declined. Please 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. Please contact your tax advisor. Offer may not be combined with any other introductory offer.
I’ve got two ITs now. Wonder if I can close one of them out and open a new one. Anyone try this?
I closed 1 of my 2 Discover cards several years ago and successfully opened a new Discover card right after.
