MAKING PAYMENTS

How We Apply Payments

INTEREST CHARGES

How We Calculate Interest 
Charges—Daily Balance 
Method (including current 
transactions) 

Paying Interest

 We  apply  payments  and  credits  at  our  discretion,  including  in  a  manner  most 
favorable or convenient for us. In all cases, we will apply payments and credits as 
required by applicable law. 

Each  billing  period,  we  will  generally  apply  amounts  you  pay  that  exceed  the 
Minimum Payment Due to balances with higher APRs before balances with lower 
APRs as of the date we credit your payment.

 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.

be different than the rate in effect on the Transaction Date for the transaction.

This Agreement is governed by applicable federal law and by Delaware law. However, in the event you default and we file a lawsuit to recover funds loaned to you, the statute

If any part of this Agreement is found to be invalid, the rest of it will still remain in effect. However, if the Class Action Waiver in the “Arbitration of Disputes” section is 
invalidated in any proceeding in which you and we are involved, then the “Arbitration of Disputes” section will be void with respect to that proceeding.

ARBITRATION

Agreement  to  arbitrate.  In  the  event  of  a  dispute  between  you

resolve the dispute by binding arbitration, as described below, instead 
of in court. Any claim (except for a claim challenging the validity or 
enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including the Class Action 
Waiver) may be resolved by binding arbitration if either side requests 
it.  THIS  MEANS  IF  EITHER  YOU  OR  WE  CHOOSE  ARBITRATION, 
NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM 
IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. ALSO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL 
RIGHTS ARE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
CLASS  ACTION  WAIVER.  ARBITRATION  MUST  BE  ON  AN 
INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY JOIN 
OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION BY OR 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. 
Only a court, and not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity and 
effect of the Class Action  Waiver. Even if all parties have opted to 
litigate a claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect 
to any claim made by a new party or any new claims later asserted in 
that lawsuit.
Your Right to Go To Small Claims Court. We will not choose to 
arbitrate any claim you bring in small claims 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 appoint a substitute.
Fees and Costs. If you wish to begin an 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.
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 

-4-

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. 
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.  

Your Billing Rights:
Keep This Document For Future Use
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act. 
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

In your letter, give us the following information: 
• Account information: Your name and account number. 
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error. 
• Date: The date 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 pm Eastern Time on the date of your scheduled automated payment withdrawal if you want  
  to cancel or modify your payment.
You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. 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

When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
1.  Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you in writing that we received your letter. We will 

also tell you if we have already corrected the error.

2.  Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error and notify you in writing of the 

correction or explain to you in writing 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 and related interest 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 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 in writing 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, or if the company that sold you the goods or services owns us.)

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 at:
Discover
PO Box 30945
Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0945

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.
