Discover Bank [1] just launched a new refer-a-friend program.
It’s an easy one too, which I’m always excited about, so we’re celebrating Free Money [2] early this week! In fact, I think we should declare this an official free money week, so be sure to check back every day for more free money.
Here’s how to get your $25 when you open a Discover savings account.
How to Get Your $25 Sign Up Bonus

- Fund and maintain the account with $500 for 60 days.
- You’ll get $25 after the account is open for 8 more weeks.
Discover Terms and Conditions
- Must be a new Discover Bank [1] deposit account customer.
- The bonus offer amount will be reported as interest income for the account holder on form 1099-INT.

More on Discover
Referrals. Once you open a Discover Bank [1] account, you can refer friends through the promotion. You and your friend will both get $25. There’s a maximum 20 bonuses to each customer per year. Update: Apparently, the referral program is random, so you’ll have to watch for an email to get a referral code for your friends. Thanks Steve!
Money Markets and CDs. You can also open a money market account or Discover CD with the promotion. However, the minimum funding and amount to maintain for those accounts is $2,500.
