DISCOVER MATCH™ MECHANISM

How Unlimited Cashback Match™ works

Equal match of eligible first-year rewards

STEP 01

Earn regular rewards for the first 365 days

Eligible cash back processed within the first 365 days from approval counts toward the match. No minimum spending requirement; the transaction date may differ from the processing date.

STEP 02

Automatic 1:1 match after the period ends

After the first year ends, Discover automatically calculates eligible first-year rewards and provides an equal 1:1 match. No overall matching cap; no manual request is needed.

STEP 03

Posts within 2 billing periods after the end

Rewards are not doubled instantly on each purchase. They are automatically deposited within 2 billing periods after the matching period ends.

The example assumes the category cap is reached in all four quarters within the matching period: $80 in regular rewards, $160 including the match. Rewards are not guaranteed and depend on the approval date, transaction processing, category eligibility and spending.

Terms note: New cardholders only: eligible cash back processed within 365 days from approval receives an equal match, posted within 2 billing periods after the period ends. No minimum spend or matching cap. Rewards processed after the period, statement credits, rewards transferred from deposit accounts, and closed accounts are excluded. Quarterly caps still apply to designated bonus categories.
