direct rewards discover?

how do you apply for this card? does anyone have the link? do you have to be turned down by discover and then offered this card as an alternative?

Re: direct rewards discover?

I rec'd the offer in the mail sometime in mid 2006 -- I did not app for a regular discover prior to receiving this offer.  It was approved for 1k - same limit as today.  Smiley Happy

My Mom got the offer for this card after a denial from Discover online.  She applied and was approved instantly for 800 cl.  I don't know where it is at now.  But I have searched and can't find an app for it anywhere. Smiley Indifferent

Re: direct rewards discover?

I got this card. Normally when you apply for regular discover and if you are not approved for it then they counter offer this card. I like the card so far. I got an auto CLI after 3 months.

Re: direct rewards discover?

Exactly, I think it's one of those "offer only" cards.  I've also heard it is a test marketing endeavor and it really doesn't matter what your credit is, if you get the offer, you're approved.  I've read where people with HORRIBLE credit i mean peeps in the low 400's got the offer and the card.  There are people with high scores that have it too, that's what leads me to believe what I said about it being a marketing test.

Re: direct rewards discover?

Yup, I was definitely sub-600 when I got this card.

Re: direct rewards discover?

Ditto me. I just got approved today for it. I think I'm right at 600 give or take a couple points. They pulled EQ.

Still app'ing?

 

There are issuers out there that are closing accounts that were recently opened because the cardholdeder had taken on too many other new accounts post approval. You need to layoff.

Re: direct rewards discover?

I admitted early in the other thread that I had already app'ed and received this card. This isn't anything new. I'm planning on chilling out for at least 12 months.

Re: direct rewards discover?

I have this, got it when I was in the low 600's too and denied by Discover.  Got it with a $500 CL, 3 months later I got a notice that I was granted a CLI to $700.  It's been a year since then so I called to ask for a CLI and they said that they periodically check for them and that customers cannot request them.
