The Discover® Motiva Card, issued by Discover, is designed for those with very good credit who are looking to earn cash rewards by paying on time and making purchases. Start off with a 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months. A low, variable APR applies thereafter, based on your credit worthiness and the prime rate. Through the rewards program, cardholders earn a 5% to 20% Cashback Bonus® at top retailers through Discover's exclusive online shopping site, and they get up to a 1% Cashback Bonus® on all other purchases. There is no yearly limit on the amount of rebates that can be earned, and rebates do not expire as long as the account is active within an 18-month period. Cardholders will also be eligible to earn a pay-on-time bonus. Each time cardholders make six on-time payments in a row they will receive a credit towards the payment of their next month's interest. Cardholders will be eligible to receive the pay-on-time bonus twice a year, every year monthly payments are received on time.

In this case, 1% will be applied only to those purchases made after the cardholder spends over $3,000 in one year, so the overall cash rebate earned will be less than 1%, depending on the amount spent. For instance, if the cardholder were to spend $4,000, only $1,000 of this amount would be applied towards the 1% rebate. However, this does not take into account any promotional offers.
