The Discover® More (SM) Card – Monogram is perfect for a
person with very good credit looking for a card that can earn cash
rewards. The card also features personalized designs which displays
the cardholder's intial(s) on the card's face.
The
reward program allows cardholders to earn a 5% Cashback Bonus®
in categories such as travel, gas, restaurants, movies, and more.
In addition, cardholders can automatically earn up to a 1% Cashback
Bonus® on all other purchases.
As an added bonus,
cardholders can earn up to a double Cashback Bonus® when their
rebates are redeemed for gift certificates from participating
Discover® Card Partners. There is no yearly limit on the amount
of rebates that can be earned and rebates do not expire as long as
the account is active within a 36-month period.
A unique
feature with this card is that cardholders can choose from several
card designs that will display their initial(s) on the front of the
card.
The card has no annual fee, a 0% introductory rate
on purchases for six months, and a 0% introductory rate on balance
transfers for twelve months. The APR for this card is reasonable
for those who qualify.
The card also provides several
platinum benefits, including up to $500,000 in travel accident
insurance, auto rental insurance, and various fraud and security
protection services. Cardholders will also receive discounts on
products and services at participating merchants and
retailers.
Therefore, those who plan on spending over
$3,000 a year (to earn the 1% cash rebate), plan on using their
Cashback Bonus® award at participating retailers (to earn
double cash rebates), and plan on paying in full each month after
the introductory rate expires (to avoid costly finance charges)
will benefit most from what the Discover® More(SM) Card -
Monogram has to offer.
*It is important to note that
like many cash reward cards, the highest rebate offered will not
apply to all purchases made with the credit card. In this case, 1%
will applied only to those purchases made after the cardholder
spends over $3,000 in one year, so the overall cash rebate earned
will be less than 1%, depending on the amount spent. For instance,
if the cardholder were to spend $4,000, only $1,000 of this amount
would be applied towards the 1% rebate. However, this does not take
into account any promotional offers or the full 5% Cashback
Bonus® award.
