Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Bonus cash back categories

  • No annual fee

  • Intro APR period on Purchases and Balance Transfers

  • No foreign transaction fee

Cons

  • Slightly less merchant acceptance for Discover in US - acceptance outside of US can be an issue

  • If you value simplicity, a flat rate cash back card may be better

Some of the best balance-transfer credit cards on the market don't offer rewards. The Discover it® Balance Transfer is an exception. Not only does the card offer 0% on Purchases for 6 months and 0% on Balance Transfers for 18 months, and then the ongoing APR of 13.99% - 24.99% Variable APR, but you'll also earn cash back on your spending.

Plus, Discover offers a sign-up bonus: Discover will match ALL the cash back you've earned at the end of your first year, automatically. There's no signing up. And no limit to how much is matched. Add to that free access to your FICO score and a $0 annual fee.

Note that this card charges a 3% fee on each balance transfer. All things considered, however, the Discover it® Balance Transfer provides a package deal for people who want to save on interest while paying off their debt, and get rewards while they're at it.
