Pros and cons
Pros
Cash back match at the end of your first year
Bonus cash back categories
No annual fee
Intro APR period on Purchases and Balance Transfers
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
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 14 months on purchases and balance transfers, and then the ongoing APR of 11.99% - 22.99% 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.
