DISCOVER INTRODUCES NEW CREDIT CARD DESIGNS CHOSEN BY STUDENTS

Riverwoods, IL, Sept. 6, 2018 – Two new card designs voted on by students are now available. The new designs—Frenchie—a fierce French Bulldog wearing aviator sunglasses—and Iridescent—a lustrous splash of pastel hues—were the winners of a poll that asked students to vote for their favorite of six unique designs.

“Card designs are one way for cardmembers to define themselves and express their individuality,” said Emina Dautovic, senior marketing manager at Discover. “We are continually looking for ways to tailor our products toward our customers’ wants and needs, including by providing an array of card designs that speak to their unique styles.”

Frenchie and Iridescent are available to both new and existing Discover cardmembers and can be ordered online or by calling 1-800-DISCOVER.

Discover it^® Chrome for Students features 2 percent cash back at gas stations and restaurants on up to $1,000 in combined purchases each quarter, automatically.¹ Discover also offers the Discover it^® Student Cash Back that features 5 percent cash back at different places each quarter like gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants or Amazon.com, on up to $1,500 in combined purchases each quarter, when activated.

Both cards offer unlimited 1 percent cash back on all other purchases, as well as the Good Grades Reward—a $20 statement credit each school year for students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher for up to the first 5 years². Additionally, all Discover credit cards offer no annual fee³ and Cashback Match^TM for new cardmembers, an unlimited dollar-for-dollar match of all the cash back they earn at the end of their first year⁴.
