Discover Bank account or service department,
Checking account Account opening, closing, or management California
Back in early - of 2015, I saw a promotion for Discover bank where if you have a Discover credit card and never had a Discover checking account, you can use promotion code " - '' to open a new checking account, and after - direct deposits, the bank will issue a $300.00 bonus into the account. I had a Discover credit card and never had a Discover bank account, so I signed into my Discover credit card account online and tried signing up for a new checking account using the said promotion code. Discover bank 's system accepted the promotion code as valild, that 's when I decided that it 's a really good deal and went on to complete the enrollment process.
promotion a " targeted '' -, and since I 'm not on the target list, I do n't qualify, even though the promotion code was accepted during enrollment " because it 's a valid promotion code '' they say. From a consumer 's perspective, the fact that their system accepted my promotion code as valid during the enrollment process should mean that I qualify for the promotion. If I did n't qualify for the promotion, their system should have indicated as such, so I would n't be led to believe that I qualify and go on to enroll for their product believing I 'm getting a good deal. I have also never received any communication from Discover Bank after the fact to let me know that I did n't qualify for the promotion. Any other reputable online store I go to, if they accept a promotion code during checkout, that means I qualify for the promotion. I have never seen any other company accept a promotion code as valid " because it 's valid for other people and not you '' and never send out any communication to let a consumer know what 's going on. I feel that Discover Bank 's actions are misleading and deceptive. Their system led me to believe that I 'm getting a good offer and tricked me into enrolling in their product. They led me on further by never communicating the fact that the promotion code they accepted as valid is actually not valid, so that I would start direct depositing my pay checks into the new checking account with them. All the time wasted and emotional distress aside, I 'm seeking for Discover bank to honor the promotion and credit me $300.00. Thank you for your help looking into this case.
