Re: Credit Card Question

I've heard good things about Discover, too, but since I only keep one
credit card, it's not a good choice as there are many places that
don't accept it. Same with American Express.

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.
