Just received this email (text copied below). To summarize, effective Oct 8, MMAs will no longer have the following features: Zelle, BillPay, the "add cash" feature, debit card use, use with digital wallets, overdraft protection, or unlimited withdrawals (Regulation D). There is no mention of checks, so hopefully paper checks tied to the account still work. The only upside is the APY is being changed to match Discover Online Savings accounts. Typically, Discover MMAs are 0.1%APY lower than Online Savings accounts. This change makes sense though, as they are essentially trying to convert the money market accounts into savings accounts before migration since Capital One doesn't really have an equivalent. I have long wondered what would happen to money market accounts. I guess I have my answer.

Anyone else? If your account has not been migrated to Capital One yet, check your email to see if you were targeted. Mine got filtered into promotional emails and I only found it by happenstance when searching for emails from Discover.

Since I am still in my first year with this card, theoretically the $50 cashback bonus should be "matched," essentially making it $100 at the end of the year.

Does anyone who's done this before happen to know if I'll still be eligible for the referral bonus if I later refer the AU (assuming they've never been the primary account holder on a Discover card before)?

Account opened mid-December. CLI request in May was denied. I got tired of waiting for the automatic PCLI most people say to expect after 6 or 7 months, so I requested and got this. Was hoping for a bit more, but it's reasonable. I have 0% APR but couldn't take advantage of it due the starting limit. Within a week of the statement posting, the card would be maxed out. At least now I can wait til closer to the due date to make the payment.

Below is a timeline of the data most people are interested in knowing in response to CLI posts:

* Dec 13-- approved, $2500 SL, 0%APR for 15mo

* Dec 26-- $264 current balance reported, no statement yet

* Jan 26-- $917 statement balance, paid in full Feb 2 (37% utilization)

* Feb 26-- $1314 PIF Mar 16 (53%)

* Mar 26-- $581 PIF Apr 16 (23%)

* Apr 26-- $1738 PIF May 11 (70%)

* May 5 -- CLI Request denied

* May 11 -- received denial letter, denial reason: "insufficient experience with current Discover card credit limit."

* May 26-- $1258 PIF Jun 8 (50%)

* June 26-- $1902 PIF Jul 1 (76%)

* Jul 26-- $2215 (89%)

* Jul 28-- CLI Request approved +$1k, CL = $3500

Any other Discover customers here, feel free to share how long it took you to get your first CLI, your limit before & after, payment history, and what your usage was like. Also interested in recent CLI results on older Discover accounts.

I'm particularly interested in whether CLI decisions have already started reflecting Capital One practices since the merger, or whether one might not expect that until their account is migrated. Mine has not been migrated yet. Feel free to discuss theories on that subject.

To be clear, I do not have any family or household members accounts linked to my Prime membership. I also do not have an Alexa device or any assistants that use voice input.

I can understand why, based on my purchase history, they assume I have a young child in my household. But it's a little creepy to me that they explicitly state this assumption as a fact in passing.

Genuinely impressed these are still standing

I just noticed a bunch of rewards payouts of $0.01 each for various Offers I had completed dating all the way back to May 2025. A full year ago. Some of these Offers I had already received the cashback for. Some of them did not pay out at all, so I assumed they didn't track correctly. This is really weird. Any ideas? It seems like they're doing some internal bookkeeping clean-up and the 1 cent per Offer is like a consolation prize for any rewards I may have been owed? I've never seen an offer pay out this late.
