For now, cardholders can continue earning and redeeming Discover rewards as usual, but should stay alert for announcements about program changes. Keep an eye on us for updates.
Fee Structure Updates
Concerned about new fees? Currently, there are no immediate fee increases for Discover cards. The favorable fee structures that made Discover attractive remain in place:
- No annual fees on most cards
- No foreign transaction fees
- No over-limit fees
While this stability is reassuring, cardholders should carefully review all communications from both companies. The merged entity may introduce new fee structures or product changes over time as they harmonize their offerings. More information is available on Discover’s website.
