Discover Financial Services said Friday that it is pledging up to $500,000 to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Michael relief efforts through a card member donation matching program. Discover, based in Riverwoods, will match donations dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000 for every card member who donates to the American Red Cross using Cashback Bonus, or makes a donation with their Discover card.

Discover also is matching employee donations to the American Red Cross dollar-for-dollar through its Employee Giving Program and is currently waiving transaction fees on all credit card donations to the American Red Cross.

Discover's support of Hurricane Michael relief efforts follows up on an identical program launched in September in support of Hurricane Florence relief efforts. More than $1 million was donated to the American Red Cross by the company, its employees and card members to support relief efforts in the Southeast.
