Complicated rewards
The Discover it® Student chrome is a simpler card than the better-known Discover it® Student Cash Back. There are no rotating bonus categories, just a consistent rewards rate that pays 2% cash back on up to $1,000 per quarter in spending at restaurants and gas stations. That's an especially great option for students who commute since they tend to spend more on gas. Anything you spend over that first $1,000, and all other purchases, earn a flat 1% back.
The annual fee is $0, and there are no foreign transaction fees.
