Discover Card is one of the largest credit card issuers in the USA. The brand has more than 50 million cardholders. Initially it was Sears Financial Corporation that has introduced Discover Card in 1985. Lately, Discover Financial Services became an autonomous company. Discover Bank issues most Discover Cards. Discover Card got a lot of clients from the start because it had no annual fee unlike most credit cards at that time, and higher credit limit. Besides, Discover Card was the only credit card that could be used to pay customs duty. In 2007 Discover Card refuted completely their so called brand loyalty and raised interest rates. Please try to contact Discover Card Customer Service directly prior to posting any complaints on this site.

Credit Cards
A credit card is a system of payment. It is named after the small plastic card. The card is issued to users of the system. The issuer lends money to the user to be paid later to the merchant. It is different from a charge card, since it does not require the balance to be paid off in full each month. It allows the consumer to 'revolve' his/her balance with the interest being charged. Almost all credit cards are issued by local banks or Credit Unions. They are of the same shape and size as indicated by the Standard. Credit cards are issued after an account has been approved by the credit provider. The validity of the card is verified using a credit card payment terminal or Point of Sale (POS) system. Sometimes poor security level of the credit cards and/or credit card systems can provide different possibilities for fraud. There's even such a thing as a black market for stolen credit card numbers, which are usually used quickly before the cards are reported stolen. So, be aware!
