Hello All, I recently just noticed my credit card apr went from 11.99 % to 16.74 % gradually over the course of a year. I contacted discover via chat to ask why, ( I obviously know why) but I wanted to see what they would say and if there was any promotions they can offer. 2 years ago I caught this promotion 0% apr for 12 months. I didn't think they would be able to do this again, but they did. this is actually pretty good in my eyes. This is something that you have to chat with them and ask for. I have the basic discover it card and have been with them since 2018 and use this as my main card. Thought it would be good to share. Thanks for reading.

Wow - glad to see this offer again. Many years ago, I took the same offer (0% and no fee on new purchases) and bought a new car while I really needed a car to drive across the country to take a contract job after being laid off for a while. Because I was paying cash (a cash advance check from Discover), I was able to negotiate a good deal at the car dealership.

I also bought a car, used, right on the card back a few years ago when I just happened to have had the offer active at the time. Bought me free money for half a year and then paid it off when offer expired. I don't feel too bad for Discover, they make the 2-3% off the top regardless.

Heads up, I've had big purchases come up a couple times the past 3-4 years that I could have paid in full, but would be much easier to put on a 0% CC. Both times I called up discover and asked if I would be able to get an APR of 0% for a year, and both times they were more than happy to. I dont know if it makes a difference, but I've been with them since 2013 and have very good credit (over 750). The 2 times were a little over a year apart

I've been with Discover for over 20 years and they couldn't offer me any deal. Guess I'll look for another card.

Got the promo through chat yesterday. Is there anywhere in my online account I could confirm it is actually active?

I hope folks are aware that there is a 14 months 0% instead of the 12 months. I would at least ask CS for the 14 months instead of the 12 months. I can see that the 14 months @ 0% has a 5% transfer fee.

It is not 0%. There is a 5% transfer fee. Check your credit union before you transfer. My home equity rate is 2.99 for the first 6 month then 7.2. So, the first year rate is 5%, but you don't need to pay super high rate if you can not repay within 12 month.

Hi,
Which credit Union May I ask? Also are you talking equity loan or equity line of credit? Soonest response greatly appreciate. Thank

Thx OP.

the fee is 5%, BOA has one with 3% fee

THERE IS NO FEE.

This is not a balance transfer offer (which typically has fees).

This is a new purchase offer. There are no fees as long as you pay off the balance before the promotional term is up.

Awesome! I was looking for 0% CC to add my remodeling expenses while I stow away my cash in a 4.75% no penalty CD. This works out perfectly because I already have the Discover IT card. They gave me 0% for 12 months, new purchases begin 04/01/2023 and promo ends 05/01/2024.

Thanks OP!

"The promotional rate of 0.00% will apply to new purchases made during the promotional period between transaction start date 04/01/2023 through transaction end date 03/31/2024. After rate expiration date 05/02/2024, your standard purchases APR, currently 24.49% will apply to any remaining balance. This APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate. Please note that purchases that post to your account after the promotional period will be subject to your standard purchases APR. You will receive a written confirmation of this offer. Would you like to accept this promotion?"

I've been a Discover client since 2006 and they said there were no promotions available. I have over 800 credit score. Ridiculous!!
