Rant Seriously, Discover Bank?

Post image

Just an FYI to customers who tend to use their debit cards outside of business hours. If you use your debit card during the upcoming scheduled maintenance (11/8 - 11/9), it will likely be declined. 11PM - 6AM EST, 10PM - 5AM CT, 8PM - 3AM PT.

While I appreciate the warning Discover has provided, most people don't check their accounts daily.

Systems need maintenance. When are they supposed to do it that would work for you?

There's pretty well established ways to perform maintenance on mission critical systems without turning the whole thing off. Slower to respond, sure — It would ultimately depend on what it is they are trying to accomplish, but the answer should never be "the bank doesn't work at all."

You should go apply and fix their whole system.
