How Discover Won Over The U.S. Middle Class

[@safety_sid]

Discover is the only credit card provider willing to give a young person with no credit history a chance at building some credit history.

[@josephbroseph1284]

Yup gave me, an 18 year old with no income a credit card. Currently employed and responsibly using their card.

[@kobyschechter8163]

@@josephbroseph1284 I was an authorized user on my mom’s account but I wanted to start building my own credit history because that helps you to be able to rent an apartment or get a mortgage. They always do a credit check. I still need to be an authorized user on my mom’s account for certain things but I love that Discover gave me a shot after I tried to get a credit card from my bank but I was declined despite having two part time jobs and an income and being 20 years old.

Pro Tip: To help jump start your child's credit profile, add them to you credit card accounts when they are 15-16 years old. Discover is one that starts reporting as early as 15 and by the time they graduate, they will have 2-3 years of history on their credit profile. This will help them financially when they move out and start their new life on their own.

@Mark Odessy How is that horrible advise? Your parents can get you a checking account and show you responsibility, but mine was to simply help them jump start their credit without them actually having access to it since it’s still technically your account. Or if you trust them enough, get a card that lets you control the amount they spend and teach off that. Your situation will very widely from everyone else’s.

I never like to call my bank’s customer service agents because the people on the phone always have a very thick accent because their call centers are in India. Indian salaries are much lower than American salaries. That’s why they do it there rather than in America.

I have discover and I'm happy with it because customer service is English speaking and American citizens I can actually understand unlike my other credit cards.

[@MPR2]

I LOVE Discover card!

[@oregunian5413]

I don’t need a credit card but this video made me want one😂 pretty good ad for discover lol

[@roxcyn]

I can give you my referral if you want. 😆

[@MachineJugz]

My first card is a secured credit card through them. Cash back and they'll match it later on. Can't beat it

I have AMEX, Capital One, and Discover and one this Discover beats all competitors is their AMAZING 100% US based customer services. My experience with their customer representative is beyond amazing

[@aaronscarpa7469]

Discover approved me when no other competitors would. I had a $300 limit, which in three years was $5000. I’ve since completed professional school, and my income has increased fourfold, and I now have a good Chase card. But I will NEVER get rid of my Discover card, and I’ve moved my savings account to them as well. Superb customer service.

Love the customer service. Native English speaker with understandable accent. Polite, patient, professional personel, get things done, do not need to stay on hold or being transferred. Got the card twenty years ago in college, I called them on due date, they waived my first late fee because I was not able to get hold of a computer to pay, I was touched. Was so excited when the designs were out. Very slick and stylish. It may not be accepted by a random merchant once a long while, it's ok. Website is easy to use. Have not had a fraud transaction. Always pay in full, and built my credit score. Discover was a companion of mine growing into adulthood. Thanks Discover.

I have a discover card and also took out an installment loan with them. They are absolutely amazing and have GREAT customer service and support. I gladly promote them and their seevices. They are great honestly

[@emptyroomd9567]

Discover was always there when I needed them. They gave me a chance to build credit. Till this day I really recommend this card for people building credit I would get cash for good grades as well. School does pay off lol

[@syedhyderquadri]

Discover is Awesome!! I moved to the USA recently and had no credit history. Though I had a stable job, every financial services denied my application just bcos I dont have credit history. Comon, how can anyone have CH when none of them gives an opportunity to create it. Finally, I applied for Discover card and I got the card with 2000 credit limit. I am a customer who always set auto payment and Discover earned one more loyal customer. I will always appreciate and thank them by regular usage and timely payments. DISCOVER is the BEST!!!

[@RumbleRish]

Discover was my first credit card while in college. It was really the only student card/“beginner card” that offered any perks - cash back plus $20 every year for good grades all for no fees. Also, they had a thing where if you refer a friend you each got $50! Never experienced any negatives with Discover. Although I have sort of moved on to better cards now, I have to say I really appreciate them for building my credit and offering rewards for a newbie when most other companies didn’t.

[@OGSAFUNKATEER1901]

I love my discover card and all the points I accumulate very easily and that matching from discover is awesome. They have found a loyal card holder with me.

[@neolives]

I have other credit cards but Discover is the only one I use. Had my card since 1999 been happy with their service.

[@levirothstein6526]

Just talking to someone who speaks English was very appealing for me🤷.

[@jollyronacher]

My first credit card was a discover card when i was in college at 18. A lot of my friends did the same and started with discover as a student. That’s a pretty big demographic, young people.

[@qn5947]

Get the Discovery IT cash back card for 5 percent cash back for quarterly category, no annual fee, no foreign transact fee. Always has it in my wallet.

[@keyroncampbell]

I just paid off a 6k discover balance.... Never again .... They did waive interest this month because I paid off the balance.

Cashback match, generous return percentages, low credit rating, zero-apr for 1 year and custom design cards, Discover was an excellent first card for me and (thanks to referral programs) all my friends!
