   I have had a discover card for more than twenty years.  It is widely accepted and I have gotten great service over twenty years of having this card.  I got this card to build my credit and it has worked.  They even called when my number was stolen and suspicious activity took place.

Great for cashback bonus for gas. However, interest rate is to high with a low grace period.

It used to be that I only used a credit card when traveling.  Now I use my Discover card whenever I can.  The flea market still requires cash. These days nearly everywhere else takes Discover.

Every month I pay the whole balance on my card online, so I actually make money whenever I use it.  Since nearly everything my husband and I buy is on the statement, reviewing it has helped me budget.   Discover recently reduced the cash-back rate, so my haul won't be as good this year.  However, I'll stick with this card because of the great service. 

When my grocery store's computer system was...

I paid my Discover bill online from 2 different checking accounts on the same day.  Discover sent both payment requests to the same bank even though I had specified different bank routings.  It seems after much frustration that I find out that we can pay only one payment at a time.  We have to wait until the first bank clears before submitting the second payment.  I had printed statements that show 2 different days of posting but they still sent it to the wrong bank 3 times which also created overdrafts in my account.  We discovered the first mistake shortly after submitting and called Discovercard. ...

I used to have a Discover card about 18 years ago. I my parents needed some cash and I took it out of my Discover card. I did not have the money to pay it all back at once so I started paying it back little by little. I always paid back more than the minimum. Not only did I pay the miniumum to Discover card I paid more...always. But the bill would only go down a few dollars. I called them to see if we could make some kind of payment arrangement were either the interest rate would go down or they would allow me to do something anything so that I could lower my bill. I did not want a hand out. I...

Discover are very easy to work out issues.  We've had charges made to our account in the past that were not our, or the request from the vendor was not satisfied.  Discover took care of the dispute without putting more burden on us.

There was another time where I had accidentally applied my payment online to our 2nd Discover account and when I received my bill the next month they had a late fee and finance charge on the account.  After we investigated what was going on, they took the fees off and applied my payment to the correct account.

My husband had an issue with a vendor who did not refund...

I use my Discover card for everything I possibly can.  Okay, here's the kicker.  I use my card for things that I would pay for anyway, and by using the card, I get cash or rewards back.  So, if I already have the money I'd pay for, say, groceries or gas, I keep that cash to pay the bill when it comes, and use the card.

The absolutely, undeniably, most important part is to pay 100% of your bill when it's due.  So, by paying for things with my Discover credit card that I would be paying for with cash from the bank, I'm able to get awards.  Then when you pay the balance in full on a monthly...

I have really enjoyed my Discover credit card.  It works wonders at the gas station and earns me points for either cash or other awards.  What particularly pleases me is that I can use my points for a value of $20 and get a value of $30 in Blockbuster movie awards.  I would be buying the gas either way, but with this card, I also earn seven free movies, roughly a $30 value at Blockbuster.  We have a large family and four of us drive cars.  When prices were really high (around $4.50), our gas bills were huge, but the rewards stacked up quickly and we were able to enjoy free movies during a...

Discover card has great online/website features.  Its very easy to access and work through.  It offers the ability to work on your budget and calculate when the bill will be paid if if you change different variables.  It gives you advice on financial planning. It doesn't charge fees to make online payments either. It also has great customer service, each time I've called in, they have been cooperative, very pleasant and efficient.  They really seem to go above and beyond to provide great customer service.  The main drawback that I have seen is that the interest rate is not good at...

The discover card is the best credit card for people who want to make purchases and pay their bill in full each month.  The card offers a great cash back reward that allows you to pick bonus point categoris for places that you use the card often.  Also, the card allows you to make your purchase at a store and actually gegt cash back at the register, up to a total of one hundred dollars.  In this way, the card offers the best of both an atm card and a standard credit card. 

I found the application process to be quite easy.  In addition, I used a preselect offer, and was awarded a fifty dollar...

I received my Discover card about a year ago and I like a lot of different things about them.  For starters I like that my Discover card has a cash back policy.  Whatever I spend, I get 5% back, to some people that may not be a lot, but not many credit cards are willing to give you money back.  Now what really made me extatic about Discover card was that I was in a huge financial bind and I called them up and they dropped my APR as well as stopped any overage charges and late fees.  I spoke to a very kind woman who helped me tremendiously!!!  The thing is, is that I had to call Discover for...

I have been with Discover for 20+ years and have never been disappointed in them.

I have had fraudulent charges but they called me right away and took those charges off then issued a new card.

I wanted to make a major purchase and they dropped their interest rate from 20% to 3.9% just by asking.

It's easy to get a secure number from Discover (not all companies are doing this which they really should) so you can make purchases on-line without worrying that someone will get your actual card number.

Every quarter you get extra savings (5% cash back) for different purchases right now it's gas!)...

I signed up for Discover during one of their "transfer your balance rate specials" probably 2 years ago. Just the other day I received a notice from them that they're raising my interest rate from 6.9% to 16.9%! I currently have a 745 credit score and I pay about 3x my minimum due every month. If that's enough reason to raise my rates to an oppressive level, I can't imagine what they do to folks who pay the minimum and may not have a stellar credit rating! No thank you! I cancelled my card and I will never use Discover again.

Watch out for these guys!

I recently opened my Discover card and  I am really happy with it. The card offers a great cash back rewards program and there is no annual fee. This makes this card very appealing to have  and use.
