Checking your eligibility for card offers won’t hurt your credit score. Just select “Check My Eligibility” on this page to get started.
Review your card offers and accept the one that’s right for you.
If you’re approved and make a payment with your card in the first 3 months, you and your friend both get a $100 statement credit.
How do I check my eligibility?
Select “Check My Eligibility” below to get started—it won’t harm your credit score. You’ll know which cards you’re eligible for in as little as 90 seconds. And you can compare offers to find the right one for you.
How do I participate in the referral program?
Select the “Check My Eligibility” button and complete the form. To be a part of the refer-a-friend program, you must apply from this page. If you leave this page for some reason, just be sure to come back here to apply. Otherwise your friend won’t get their bonus.
How do I know my friend will get credit for this referral when I’m approved?
Don’t worry. Your referral information will be automatically passed to the application. The person who referred you will get credit for the referral if you’re approved.
Will Capital One tell my friend if I’m approved or not?
We won’t tell anyone whether or not you have applied for a credit card or if you have been approved or declined. But, just remember that we may give your friend a referral bonus if your application is approved and, as a result, they may be able to tell that your application was approved (especially if they didn’t refer anyone else).
Will the status of my application affect my friend?
The only potential impact your application could have on your friend is that—if you are approved—they might receive a referral bonus. Other than that, we cannot disclose any information on who has applied or been approved, so your friend will not be notified of the status of your application.
Referral terms and conditions
Terms apply. See Refer a Friend Program Terms & Conditions for Discover Cards for full eligibility and additional details.
Up to $200 Combined Offer: To earn up to a $200 total value, you must meet the requirements for both the $100 referral bonus and the limited-time $100 Early Spend Bonus (ESB).
$100 Early Spend Bonus: Earn a $100 statement credit when you open a Discover it® Student Cash Back card and spend $300 in the first 3 months. This limited-time, one-time bonus is available by clicking the "Check My Eligibility" button on this page, and may not be available if you navigate away from or close this page. Once you qualify for this bonus, we will apply it to your statement within two billing cycles. Existing or previous cardmembers may not be eligible for this product if they have received a new cardmember bonus for this product in the past 48 months.
$100 Referral Bonus: You will receive a $100 statement credit referral bonus if you apply online for the specific offer sent via the digital link provided and are approved. Each eligible referred friend will receive a $100 statement credit after making a minimum payment (exceeding $0) that is posted to their account within 8 weeks of opening a new Discover account. A Balance Transfer or Cash Advance does not qualify as a purchase. Phone, mail-in, and other digital applications are not eligible for referral bonuses. Existing Primary Discover cardmembers and those who have opted out of receiving marketing communications from Discover are not eligible referrals. Please allow up to 1-3 billing periods for the statement credit to post to your account after approval.
We'll match all the rewards you've earned on your credit card from the day your new account is approved through your first 365 days and add it to your rewards account within two billing periods. You earn rewards only when transactions are processed, which may be after the transaction date. We will not match: rewards that are processed after your match period ends; statement credits; rewards transfers from Discover or Capital One checking or other deposit accounts; or rewards for accounts that are closed. This promotional offer may not be available in the future and is exclusively for new cardmembers. No purchase minimums.
You earn rewards which are stored in your rewards balance and must be redeemed in order to spend. See terms for more details.
