Issuer Rules & Policies
PENDING

Rules: The primary bonus for the Discover it Miles card is a dollar-for-dollar match of all miles earned at the end of the first 12 billing cycles, effectively doubling your rewards from the first year. There is no traditional minimum spend requirement to trigger this bonus, as it applies to all miles earned. Eligibility requires applicants to have good to excellent credit, be a U.S. resident, and at least 18 years old. Discover generally enforces a strict rule of allowing only one personal credit card account at a time. Additionally, there is typically a waiting period of 6 months between applications for new Discover credit cards.

Max Cards Per Issuer: 1

Min Spend Interval: Not applicable for bonus trigger; bonus is based on all miles earned in the first 12 billing cycles.

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending, repeated abuse of promotional offers, rapid application for multiple credit products (though Discover's own rules limit this), payment defaults, or providing inaccurate application information.

Cliff Effect Rules: Discover's primary 'cliff effect' for personal cards is the strict 'one personal card at a time' rule, preventing multiple simultaneous personal card applications. There are also waiting periods (e.g., 6 months) between new Discover card applications. The first-year miles match bonus is a one-time offer per account and is not repeatable on subsequent Discover it Miles cards.

International Friendly: Yes
