Creditnet's Full Review

The Discover it card combines a lucrative cash back program with member perks not usually associated with cash back cards - think late fee forgiveness and no foreign transaction fees - for what is absolutely one of the best credit cards available today.
 
Cardholders earn 5 percent cash back on up to $1,500 in purchases made in rotating categories that change each quarter, and a full 1 percent on all other purchases with no expiration dates or limits. It also offers a new Cashback ConiergeSM feature which gets you on the phone with Discover's notoriously excellent customer service and guides you on how to get the most possible rewards from your card.
 
Last but certainly not least is the 14-month intro period in which you pay ZERO in interest on new purchases and balance transfers. 
 
Nothing bad to say about this card - the Discover it card is a game-changer for consumers interested in earning some serious cash back...

Creditnet's Expert Rating & Review

Expert Rating: 4.85 / 5 stars
Favorite Card Features:

Lack of fees. No foreign transaction fees, no late fee on your first late payment and no annual fee. Plus, your APR won't go up due to late payments.

Least Favorite Features:

Can't come up with any...

Our Final Take:

The bottom line is the Discover it Card is an improved version of their More card series, which was already one of the best cash back credit cards on the market today. If you have good credit and are in search of a cash back credit card, you'd be hard-pressed to find one better than the Discover it Card.
