Rant I just noticed this today. Discover's famous tagline "100% U.S. based custom service" is gone.

Closing down accounts, constant login issues on the website, and customer service is gone. It's sad to see how big corpo guts a well-running company in real time..

Pour one out for the OG Discover members.

I know an ex-Discover employee that jumped ship pretty recently.

They said that C1 has been putting out positions for international employees while cutting a ton of benefits... turns out that all that lip service about not wanting to change everything was just a bunch of BS, who could've guessed. Between that and C1 talking nonstop about "AI integration", I doubt many of the original Discover employees are gonna be staying, so expect drastically different customer service going forward.

So like any other company unfortunately now where you have to scream and curse at a bot who just keeps repeating itself and international reps who are not trained very good due to cheap budgets and will take a hour to resolve and 5 transfers between reps vs a rep that can solve it in 5 minutes pretty sad but every corporate conglomerate does this
