Progress on Performance Priorities
We achieved success in 2010 because Discover employees were very focused on our performance priorities, and they
collaborated on multiple cross-functional initiatives. For example, I believe the increase in Discover card sales volume
reflects not only the early stages of economic recovery, but also the payback from our investments to expand merchant
acceptance, enhance our industry-leading rewards programs and further strengthen the Discover brand.

and we activated more international outlets as well, making it possible to use the Discover card at more places
around the world.

Another very high priority for us was expansion of other parts of our Direct Banking business.
