Re: Credit Card Question

I've been very satisfied with Discover card. They offered 0% interest until a certain date, then extended it for me. They also offer cash back from 1 to 5%, gas getting the 5%. Interestingly, this made good gas cost less than the discount places. I had been buying gas at Sam's or Costco, but the Toyota dealer suggested I use Chevron and it would get better mileage. I switched to Chevron, and with the 5% cash back and 3 mpg better mileage, the savings is pretty good.

They just offered 5% cash back on airlines, cruises, motels, hotels, trains, and buses. This promotion runs from Jan 1 until Mar 31, 2007. A present promotion is offering 5% cash back on restaurants. They rotate different cash back programs and notify me by email when they are. We have two Discover cards, both with 0% interest.

They are also good to work with. When we were on vacation in September, I flat forgot to pay Discover. They charged a pretty high late fee and added interest to the balance. I called them, and they refunded both the late fee and the interest and restored my 0% interest.

Oh yeah, their call centers are in the US. I have never gotten one in India like I did with that blasted Citibank.
