When the mobile platform was introduced it was easy to navigate and made understanding my records simplified. Great company great mobile platform.
  8. [R3] Discover Mobile 3/5 · US Needs more Cash Back Opportunities: It an OKAY card. It would be better if it didn’t take so long to gain cash back. I use it all the time, but my rewards have been little to none.
  9. [R8] Discover Mobile 4/5 · US DISCOVER YOUR LIFE: Using our Discover Card for our shopping excursions, getting gas, and picking up items at the Drug store. We earn cash back which in turn we use our bonus cash to help pay our monthly payment.!!!!
  10. [R10] Discover Mobile 1/5 · US $50 Discover reward bonus: No $50 Cashback Bonus offer for adding my son as a user to my Discover cc ending 8184. Here is the promo : “Just add an Authorized User & make a purchase by 12/31/2025” Discover would not honor & give me the $50 bonus because they said the offer was only for adding him as a User to my Discover cc ending in 1275. The only places where the offer showed it was for cc end
  11. [R6] Discover Mobile 3/5 · US Banking Nightmare: There’s no option to pay with a debit card. The only option is through your bank account and they take 10 days sometimes to take the money out. I really with there was a quick pay option. I wouldn’t even care to pay a little extra for it.
  12. [R12] Discover Mobile 3/5 · US Major IT Issue: I spoke with customer service and billing today, and walking this up the Discover chain. First, the old Discover was fantastic. Since Cap One took over it is more like Dollar General vs. Harrod’s. I utilized the app to set up a one time payment and then autopay. Long story long, the app overdrafted my bank account. I was told, “unfortunately it takes three days for us to return you
  13. [R19] Discover Mobile 1/5 · US Service?: Went from 25k to 1k credit limit on my card. No red flags. Didn’t find out until I tried to use it. Maybe because I don’t use it enough I don’t know. Notification would have been nice. Small wonder they are getting swallowed up by Capital 1…
  14. [R25] Discover Mobile 1/5 · US Payment: My payment was held for review randomly. Did not like this or agree with it. Husband, wife, mom, dad makes payments for individuals all the time.
  15. [R16] Discover Mobile 1/5 · US Extremely high interest rate: Even with an outstanding credit score, their interest rates are ridiculous and unwilling to budge. Would not recommend!
  16. [R24] Discover Mobile 3/5 · US Too much interest: The card and credit are great but not enough of the minimum payment goes towards the amount owed. If I only make the minimum payment then my card never gets payed it all goes towards the interest accumulated each month.
  17. [R27] Discover Mobile 3/5 · US Lower interest rate: You used to offer lower rates for longer period of time..
  18. [R30] Discover Mobile 3/5 · US Increases: Increases my credit balance without asking
  19. [R50] Discover Mobile 5/5 · US Simple and Useful.: This app is very helpful for tracking and it’s nice to talk to a HUMAN BEING when there’s a problem. Capital One better not mess this up.
  20. [R76] Chase Mobile® 1/5 · US Useless customer service: I am trying to send money through Zelle and the app is making me verify my ID. It’s saying the camera is too shaky even when I have it still on my desk and my ID on a box so I’m not even holding the phone lol… customer service outright told me there’s nothing they can do to help me bypass the check so I guess I’ll just find another bank again…
  21. [R15] Discover Mobile 3/5 · US App Issues: App has been very glitchy
  22. [R39] Discover Mobile 1/5 · US Has issues: Never lets me log in, even after calling assistance
  23. [R49] Discover Mobile 1/5 · US App not opening for over a week and no update: I tried to pay my bill last week through the app and it wouldn’t open. I assumed there was a bug and needed to update the app, but there was no update. Restarted my phone, tried again, nothing. Today I needed to look at my statement and tried to open the app and had the same problem, not opening and no update! When is this going to be fixed?
  24. [R73] Chase Mobile® 1/5 · US Changing app AGAIN: I can no longer see my balance. This is like the third time they have updated this app in the past year. Enough. It is no longer user-friendly.
  25. [R29] Discover Mobile 5/5 · US Great card: I love this card! It’s great for cash rewards, had mine 1 year and I have earned a nice amount compared to my other cards! Would highly recommend this card.
  26. [R61] Chase Mobile® 1/5 · US Benefits: It doesn’t give me good benefits.
