How To Use Points To Pay your Discover Bill

- Open the Discover website.
- Log into your account.
- Click on "Ways to Redeem."
- Select "Cash" in the four options provided.
- Choose the amount of points cash you wish to redeem (you do not have to redeem all your Discover points at one time).

- Review your information and if all is correct, click "Continue."
- The amount you selected will be applied to your overall statement balance.
Cash Reward
Alternatively, you can redeem your points for cash that is deposited directly into your bank account. That cash can then be reapplied to your Discover credit card statement toward your balance due. Just follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Discover website.
- Lot into your account.
- Select "Ways to Redeem" under your statement balance.
- Choose "Cash" from the options provided.
- Enter the amount of cash you wish to get from your points (or select "Redeem all").
- Click on the circle beside "Direct deposit to your bank account."
