If you're looking for a credit card with stellar cash-back rewards, a decent 0% APR introductory period, great extra perks, or all of the above, the Discover it® Cash Back has what you're looking for.
The card offers 5% cash back on quarterly rotating categories that you activate, on up to $1,500 in spending per quarter, and 1% cash back on all other purchases. Plus, it offers a great sign-up bonus: INTRO OFFER: Unlimited Cashback Match – only from Discover. Discover will automatically match all the cash back you’ve earned at the end of your first year! There’s no minimum spending or maximum rewards. You could turn $150 cash back into $300.
It also gives cardholders an early break on interest with 0% intro APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers, and then the ongoing APR of 16.24%-27.24% Variable APR.
Add to that free access to your FICO® score and a $0 annual fee. All things considered, the Discover it® Cash Back stacks up nicely against the competition. For more information, read our full review.
