Discover

Discover Financial Services, usually referred to as Discover, is the American financial services company which was founded in 1985 as a subsidiary of Sears. Today the company’s Discover Card holds the title of the third largest credit card brand in the United States with nearly 50 million cardholders. The Discover card offered by Sears was the first credit card to be offered sans annual fee, and they usually offered higher credit limits and better cash rewards programs than other credit cards of that time.

A credit card company, especially one that began in the mid-80s, doesn’t attract so many cardholders without a bountiful supply of great credit cards to choose from and impeccable customer service. Discover is rated extremely high in customer satisfaction, and the accumulation of cardholders nationwide, especially long-time members, is proof. They offer cards that vary from business credit cards to credit cards for those with excellent credit and everything in between.

The Discover Student card is perfect for those new to credit cards and looking to build their credit while getting that extra financial help during the tough college years. There is no annual fee and you can earn up to five percent cash back in certain categories popular among young adults. The Miles by Discover Card is ideal for those who frequent the skies, since you’ll earn double miles on your first $3,000 in travel and restaurant purchases each year, plus one mile for every dollar spent on all other purchases.

So whether you’re looking to build up your credit or accumulate air miles, Discover has the perfect card for you.
