Big news for those of you eyeing a new Discover Bank account: they've stopped accepting applications! Yep, you read that right. It looks like the planned Discover savings bonus that was supposed to run until March 12, 2026, has been scrapped early. This is all happening because of the Capital One acquisition of Discover. Why should you care? Well, if you were planning on opening a Discover savings or checking account to take advantage of any introductory offers or simply to diversify your banking options, you're out of luck for now. It's always good to shop around for the best interest rates and account features, and Discover was often a contender. The Capital One acquisition is still in progress, so it remains to be seen what the future holds for existing Discover customers and whether there will be any integrated products down the line. For now, though, if you were hoping to become a new Discover Bank customer, you'll need to look elsewhere.
