You have not and will not attempt to transfer or offer any interest in the Security Deposit Account or the Funds to any person other than us.

Our rights under this Security Agreement are in addition to any others we have under applicable law. We may make settlements or compromises on the Security Deposit Account, transfer the Security Deposit Account to our name, or exercise ownership rights on the Security Deposit Account. We are not required to notify you of any of the above.Return of FundsIf we determine that you qualify for return of any Funds from the Security Deposit Account, we will return these Funds to you by a method we deem sufﬁcient.

We generally return these excess Funds within ten days after the end of the second billing period following the time that Funds are initially applied to reduce your Obligations. If we mail a check to you, we will mail it to your mailing address on ﬁle with us for the Security Deposit and Card Accounts. In the event of your death, we will not release Funds on deposit unless all Obligations have been repaid and all legal documents we require are delivered to us.

If your Account, your Security Deposit Account, or your Funds become involved or are likely to become involved in a legal proceeding, you understand that the entire balance of your Funds in the Security Deposit Account may be restricted until the matter has been resolved. Such proceedings are subject to our security interest. We shall be entitled to rely upon the representations, warranties, and statements made in such legal proceedings.

INTEREST CHARGES
How We Calculate Interest 
Charges—Daily Balance 
Method (including current 
transactions)

Paying Interest

We calculate interest charges each billing period by ﬁrst ﬁguring the “daily balance” 
for each Transaction Category. Transaction Categories include standard Purchases, 
standard Cash Advances and different promotional balances, such as Balance Transfers.
How We Figure the Daily Balance for Each Transaction Category
•  We start with the beginning balance for each day. The beginning balance for the   
ﬁrst day of the billing period is your balance on the last day of your previous billing period.
•  We add any interest charges accrued on the previous day’s daily balance and any 
new transactions and fees. We add any new transactions or fees as of the later of
the Transaction Date or the ﬁrst day of the billing period in which the transaction
or fee posted to your Account.

• We subtract any new credits and payments.
•  We make other adjustments (including those adjustments required in the “Paying

Interest” section).

 When Interest Charges Begin 
We begin to impose interest charges on a transaction, fee or interest charge from 
the day we add it to the daily balance. We continue to impose interest charges 
until you pay the total amount you owe us. You can avoid paying interest on 
Purchases as described below. However, you cannot avoid paying interest on 
Balance Transfers or Cash Advances.
 How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases (“Grace Period”) 
If you paid the New Balance on your previous billing statement by the Payment Due

How We Figure Your Total Interest Charges
•  We multiply the daily balance for each Transaction Category by its daily periodic 
rate. We do this for each day in the billing period. This gives us the interest charges  
for each Transaction Category. To get a daily periodic rate, we divide the APR that
applies to the Transaction Category by 365.

•  We add up all the daily interest charges. The sum is the total interest charge for 

the billing period.
How We Include Fees
 We  add  Balance  Transfer  Fees  to  the  applicable  Balance  Transfer  Transaction 
Category. We add Cash Advance Fees to the applicable Cash Advance Transaction 
Category. We add all other fees to the standard Purchase Transaction Category.

Date shown on that billing statement, we will not impose interest charges on new 
Purchases, or any portion of a new Purchase, paid by the Payment Due Date on 
your current billing statement. New Purchases are Purchases that ﬁrst appear on 
the current billing statement.
 How We Apply Payments May Impact Your Grace Period 
If you do not pay your New Balance in full each month, then, depending on the balance 
to which we apply your payment, you may not get a grace period on new Purchases.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

please  contact  us  at  1-844-DFS-4MIL  (1-844-337-4645)  or 
if  you  are  calling  from  outside  the  US  at  +1-801-451-3730.
CLASS  ACTION  WAIVER.  ARBITRATION  MUST  BE  ON  AN 
INDIVIDUAL  BASIS.  THIS  MEANS  NEITHER  YOU  NOR  WE  MAY 
IN  ARBITRATION  BY  OR 
JOIN  OR  CONSOLIDATE  CLAIMS 

AGAINST  OTHER  CARDMEMBERS,  OR  LITIGATE  IN  COURT  OR 
ARBITRATE  ANY  CLAIMS  AS  A  REPRESENTATIVE  OR  MEMBER 
OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. 
The  arbitrator  may  award  injunctive  relief  only  in  favor  of  the 
individual  party  seeking  relief  and  only  to  the  extent  necessary 
to  provide  relief  warranted  by  that  party’s  individual  claim.    If 
a  court  decides  that  applicable  law  precludes  enforcement 
of  any  of  this  paragraph’s  limitations  as  to  a  particular  claim 
for  relief,  then  after  all  appeals  from  that  decision  have 
been  exhausted,  that  claim  (and  only  that  claim)  must  be 
severed  from  the  arbitration  and  may  be  brought  in  court.  
Only  a  court,  and  not  an  arbitrator,  shall  determine  the 
validity,  scope,  and  effect  of 
the  Class  Action  Waiver. 
Your Right to Go To Small Claims Court. We will not choose 
to arbitrate any individual claim you bring in small claims court 
or your state’s equivalent court. However, if such a claim is 
transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we may then 
choose to arbitrate.
Governing Law and Rules. This arbitration agreement is governed 
by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Arbitration must proceed only 
with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS. The rules 
for the arbitration will be those in this arbitration agreement and the 
procedures of the chosen arbitration organization, but the rules in 
this arbitration agreement will be followed if there is disagreement 
between  the  agreement  and  the  organization’s  procedures.  If 

the  organization’s  procedures  change  after  the  claim  is  ﬁled,  the 
procedures  in  effect  when  the  claim  was  ﬁled  will  apply.  For  a 
copy of each organization’s procedures, to ﬁle a claim or for other 
information, please contact:
•  AAA at 1101 Laurel Oak Rd., Voorhees, NJ 08043, www.adr.org
(phone 1-877-495-4185) or
• JAMS at 620 Eighth Ave., Floor 34, New York, NY 10018,www.
jamsadr.com (phone 1-800-352-5267).
If both AAA and JAMS are completely unavailable, and if you and
we cannot agree on a substitute, then either you or we may request 
that a court with jurisdiction appoint a substitute.
Fees and Costs. If you wish to begin arbitration against us but
you cannot afford to pay the organization’s or arbitrator’s costs,
we will advance those costs if you ask us in writing. Any request
like this should be sent to Discover, PO Box 30421, Salt Lake City, 
UT  84130-0421.  If  you  lose  the  arbitration,  the  arbitrator  will
decide whether you must reimburse us for money we advanced
for you for the arbitration. If you win the arbitration, we will not
ask for reimbursement of money we advanced. Additionally, if you 
win the arbitration, the arbitrator may decide that you are entitled 
to  be  reimbursed  your  reasonable  attorneys’  fees  and  costs  (if
actually paid by you).
Hearings and Decisions. Arbitration hearings will take place in
the federal judicial district where you live. A single arbitrator will
be appointed.

ARBITRATION

The arbitrator must:
• Follow all applicable substantive law, except when contradicted 
by the FAA;
• Follow applicable statutes of limitations;
• Honor valid claims of privilege;
• Issue a written decision including the reasons for the award.
The arbitrator’s decision will be ﬁnal and binding except for any
review  allowed  by  the  FAA.  However,  if  more  than  $100,000
was genuinely in dispute, then either you or we may choose to
appeal to a new panel of three arbitrators. The appellate panel
is  completely  free  to  accept  or  reject  the  entire  original  award
or  any  part  of  it.  The  appeal  must  be  ﬁled  with  the  arbitration
organization not later than 30 days after the original award issues. 
The appealing party pays all appellate costs unless the appellate
panel determines otherwise as part of its award.
Claim Notice and Special Payment. If you have a Claim, before 
initiating an arbitration proceeding, you may give us written notice 
of  the  Claim  (“Claim  Notice”)  at  least  30  days  before  initiating
the  arbitration  proceeding.  The  Claim  Notice  must  include  your
name,  address,  and  account  number  and  explain  in  reasonable
detail the nature of the Claim and any supporting facts. Any Claim 

Notice shall be sent to us at Discover, P.O. Box 794, Deerﬁeld, IL 
60015 (or such other address as we shall subsequently provide to 
you). If, and only if, (1) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance 
with this agreement on your own behalf  (and not on behalf of 
any other party); and (2) an arbitrator, after ﬁnding in your favor 
in any respect on the merits of your claim, issues you an award 
that (excluding any arbitration fees or attorneys’ fees and costs 
awarded by the arbitrator) is greater than the value of Discover’s 
last  written  settlement  offer  made  before  an  arbitrator  was 
selected, then you will be entitled to the amount of the award or 
$7,500, whichever is greater.  If you are entitled to the $7,500, you 
will receive in addition any arbitration fees or attorneys’ fees and 
costs awarded by the arbitrator.    
Any  arbitration  award  may  be  enforced  (such  as  through  a 
judgment) in any court with jurisdiction.
Other Beneﬁciaries of this Provision. In addition to you and 
us, the rights and duties described in this arbitration agreement 
apply  to:  our  Afﬁliates  and  our  and  their  ofﬁcers,  directors  and 
employees; any third party co-defendant of a claim subject to this 
arbitration provision; and all joint Accountholders and Authorized 
Users of your Account(s).

Survival of this Provision. This arbitration provision shall survive:
• closing of your Account;
• voluntary payment of your Account or any part of it;
• any legal proceedings to collect money you owe;
• any bankruptcy by you; and
• any sale by us of your Account.
You Have the Right to Reject Arbitration for this Account.
You  may  reject  the  arbitration  agreement  but  only  if
we  receive  from  you  a  written  notice  of  rejection  within
30 days of your receipt of the Card after your Account is
opened. You must send the notice of rejection to: Discover, 
PO Box 30938, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0938. Your rejection 
notice must include your name, address, phone number, Account
number and personal signature. No one else may sign the rejection 
notice for you. Your rejection notice also must not be sent with
any other correspondence. Rejection of arbitration will not affect
your  other  rights  or  responsibilities  under  this  Agreement.  If
you reject arbitration, neither you nor we will be subject to the
arbitration  provisions  for  this  Account.    Rejection  of  arbitration
for this Account will not constitute rejection of any prior or future 
arbitration agreement between you and us.

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:
Discover
PO Box 30421
Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0421.
You may also contact us on the Web: https://discover.com/billingerrornotice

In your letter or on the Web, please give us the following information: 
• Account information: Your name and account number.
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
•  Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong

and why you believe it is a mistake.

You must contact us:
• Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.
•  By 5:00 P.M. ET on the date an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the 
amount you think is wrong. You must notify us of any potential errors in writing or electronically. You
may call us, but if you do we are not necessarily required to investigate any potential errors and you 
may have to pay the amount in question.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter or Web Submission

When we receive your written or electronic notice, we must do two things:
1.   Within 30 days of receiving your notice, we must tell you that we received it. We will also tell you if

we have already corrected the error.

2.  Within 90 days of receiving your notice, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we

believe the bill is correct.

While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
•  We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
•  The charge in question may continue to appear on your statement.
•  While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of

your balance.

• We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.

After we ﬁnish our investigation, one of two things will happen: 
•  If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees

related to that amount.

•  If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with
applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date 
payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think 
you owe.

If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us (or visit  
https://discover.com/billingerrornotice) within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do 
so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We
must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those 
organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.

If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the ﬁrst $50 of the amount you 
question even if your bill is correct.

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisﬁed With Your Credit Card Purchases

If you are dissatisﬁed with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you 
have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay 
the remaining amount due on the purchase.

To use this right, all of the following must be true: 
1.  The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing

address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are 
necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the 
company that sold you the goods or services.)

2.  You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an

ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisﬁed with the purchase, contact us in writing 
or electronically at:
Discover 
PO Box 30945 
Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0945 
https://discover.com/billingerrornotice

While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we ﬁnish 
our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do 
not pay, we may report you as delinquent.
