Bye Discover, It's Been Real But It's Time to Move On
Discover was my very first credit card.
I enjoyed the rotating categories and cashback. I bought a bunch of awesome things along the way. I loved the retro eighties look of my card.
With the pending move to Capital One, I'm taking it as an opportunity to shop around for a new line of credit. I was really disappointed that Capital One isn't treating us like new customers, but just shuttling us along without offering us any reason to ride along.
Discover card owners are a unique bunch, given that many of us held this card before it was widely accepted and have grow alongside it.
Don't underestimate the value of a transfer. Don't underestimate the value you have as a consumer/customer. I've found a great deal and I'll be closing out my Discover account as soon as I get my new card.
Discover, it's been real but it's time to move on.
