I’ve been back and forth on different cards for weeks, and I’m getting closer to pulling the trigger on this one. I don’t like having an annual fee, but I love being reimbursed for expenses rather than having to take the pre-assigned travel rates. Thanks for the review.

This is a good card, but I think the Capitol One Double Miles card is better. Discover is hard to use and the Capitol One card comes as a Mastercard. I believe it’s only available as a business card though. Either way, I prefer the flexibility of these cards over being locked into a particular airline’s mile program.

your limit depends on what limit the card gives you. You can buy any ticket with any travel agent, online or offline and just submit the expense and your points will be used to credit back your statement.

What is the normal charge limitation on this card (e.g., $25,000)? Is this based on what you request and your credit rating?

Once you have accumulated the points, how soon can you use them to obtain airline tickets?

Can you use these points on any airline in US? Europe?

Are there any restrictions on travel outside US?

I can’t believe they have this card out there. How is it that they can make money on it? I applied for one and I am using it for every purchase.

This card does not offer collision damage waiver insurance on rental cars outside of the United States. It does offer insurance for US rentals.

It’s now June and we just went through credit card companies raising base interest rates (when their money is next to nothing…check your saving statements and fed rates) plus the affinity benefits have chunks removed. No longer does Citi Aadvantage give 2 points spent on AA but one one…the same as any purchase. American Express is lopping credit limits without hesitation and benfits are reduced also in programs. You are right here, that their (AMEX’s) saving grace remains only Costo and Starwood cards. The President Continental Card (annual $375, but includes the $400 CO Club fee and the card place many CO advantages therefore it is also better that the AMEX premium Delta $450 card. This Escape by Discover card looks to be a winner ! Thanks for the good report.
