As a presenting sponsor of HGTV's Dream Home Giveaway, Discover Card created the "Design Your Dream^SM" sweepstakes to supplement HGTV's existing sweepstakes in which the winner receives a new home on Penobscot Bay in Maine. Viewers who register for the Dream Home Giveaway at HGTV's Web site, www.hgtv.com, are linked to a page where they can register for the Discover Card "Design Your Dream" sweepstakes^*. The Design Your Dream winners are chosen at random. The grand prize winner receives a Discover Card loaded with a $50,000 credit to use toward remodeling their home, and the first prize winner receives a Discover Card loaded with a $20,000 credit to use for landscaping. Additionally, each winner's results could be featured in future Discover Card commercials seen on HGTV.

In conjunction with the "Design Your Dream" sweepstakes, Discover Cardmembers can enjoy special offers at related merchants via the Internet ShopCenter^SM, accessible at www.Discovercard.com.

"Discover Card's Design Your Dream sweepstakes is the perfect complement to HGTV's giveaway and it's a great way to highlight Discovercard.com," said Cathy Davis, vice president, Advertising and Brand Management, Discover Financial Services, Inc. "This HGTV sponsorship created an additional opportunity to put consumers in touch with Discover Card and make them aware of the great benefits we offer."

The HGTV Dream Home Giveaway follows three recent Discover Card sponsorships that provided both national media exposure and opportunities for more personal contact with consumers. This winter, Discover Card sponsored Comedy Central's Don't Forget Your Toothbrush game show. In addition to prizes awarded to contestants, Discover Card offered an online sweepstakes to visitors of Comedy Central's Web site. In fall of 2000, Discover Card sponsored ESPN Game Day and the GQ Men of the Year awards ceremony.

Discover Financial Services, a business unit of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., operates the Discover Card brands with more than 50 million Cardmembers and the Discover Business Services network. Discover Business Services is the largest independent credit card network in the United States with approximately 4 million merchant and cash access locations.
