RIVERWOODS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 18, 2009--
Discover Financial Services (NYSE: DFS) announced today that it will
once again reward Discover Cardmembers with Double Cashback Bonus®
or Double Miles when they make purchases at U.S. military bases from
Memorial Day through Labor Day. Double rewards will be given
automatically on up to $1,000 in Discover® Card
purchases at these bases.
“We’re excited to offer this unique military-focused promotion again
given that it was well- received among our cardmembers as a valuable way
for them to spend smarter and save more,” said Julie Loeger, senior vice
president of brand and product management at Discover Financial
Services. “We know this challenging economy has taken its toll on many,
so we’re hoping to provide a little something extra to military members
who contribute so much to our country.”
The program will include military installations in the United States and
overseas, and includes purchases made at commissaries, exchanges,
shopettes/convenience stores, exchange catalogs, exchange online stores
and exchange gas/service stations on-base. Cardmembers can learn more at Discover.com/military.
To coincide with this promotion, Discover is, once again, proud to

provides emergency assistance and morale to our troops, their families
and to wounded warriors when they return home, and has provided critical
assistance to more than 45,000 military families in need.
