Unfortunately, starting on March 1st, Discover is no longer offering a 0% APR on purchases for an entire year. The new 0% term is now 6 months. While most Discover cards, and most offers from Discover, only offered a 6 month APR on purchases, we were one of the few lucky sites able to get our visitors a 0% APR for an entire year on purchases and balance transfers.
While this change in duration is unfortunate, consumers looking for 0% balance transfers can breathe a sigh of relief, as Discover will continue to offer a 0% APR for a full year on balance transfers to approved applicants.
For more information on Discover credit cards, please see the Discover balance transfer page on our website.
Should you read an older blog entry stating there is a 0% for a full year on purchases, please ignore this. As always, check and double check the terms and conditions of any credit card you apply for. While we strive to maintain the most accurate information, discrepancies do occasionally occur.
