Discover Credit Card 0.00% APR for 12 Months Via Online Chat Session For Current Card Holders

+67 Deal Score
31,385 Views
My Son In Law chatted with Discover online via their chat customer service on their website and asked if he could get a lower APR and they gave him for 12 months for 0.00% APR.

This is perfect time for the holiday season and they even gave it to me as well!

He suggusted I told my other family members about it so I thought I would share it here too.

Good luck all and I hope everyone else gets it too! I am sure not all will be able to get it but worth the try!

I did this a few years ago where I got the 0% rate for a year and I invested the money instead of paying the balance. I noticed my credit score which was over 800 took a pretty substantial hit because I was carrying a large balance. I can't remember how much it went down though. I had a lot of unused credit on other cards so it was only a small portion of my credit used and I was surprised that it affected my score as much as it did.
What investment platform let you charge a credit card?

0% Promo APR popped upon login but it has 5% transfer fee. egregious.. sorry, I'm so outdated , don't like more than 1.9% fee.

I'm experiencing this right now. I have a balance with just a single credit card, but my credit score has dropped 80 points.

I did this about 6 months ago and it was a simple chat. There were no fees or finance charges but I believe I there was a small minimum monthly payment I had to make against my balance and the 0% apr only applied to new charges.

A couple cons from my experience was that I ended up spending much more than normal and my credit score dropped quite a bit. Last month I had a utilization of about 80-90% and after paying it off, my credit score increased by 30-50.

One of the things I did was whenever I went to buy groceries at Safeway, I would withdraw $100 at checkout and just deposit it into my bank and transfer to my savings. I believe this is store dependent but a good way to get an "interest-free" loan albeit at very low amounts.
Isn't this cash advance which is not interest-free?

That's not what I did. I charged everything I could on the Discover card for a year even though I had the cash on hand to pay the bill. I invested that cash I would have used to pay the bill. Then after a year I withdrew from the investment and paid the bill.

I can't remember how much mine dropped but I think it may have been around 50 points. I'm thinking it was probably because I always pay my balances each month and carrying a large balance set off a red flag because it was so different from my normal credit pattern.

What do they pay 1st? Forgive my ignorance, but when you do this promo and you're already carrying a balance, what does your monthly payments go to pay off first? So just to clarify my question. If I'm carrying a $2000.00 balance and I have this 0% for future purchases promo applied to my account, then I put another $2000.00 in purchases on the card and I pay $400.00 a month payment on the card. How does Discover apply my payments? Is it 200.00 to the old balance and 200.00 to the new 0% balance? Is it new balance first? I've always wondered this.

Easy peasy, got me a year 0% purchases. I have gotten same offer in past years as well. For reference I do spend quite a bit through a couple different Discover cards each month, always paid in full.
