From the CompareCards.com Editorial Team:

For those consumers who want to get away from it all, the Escape Discover Card offers plenty of ways to do so through a travel rewards program with extra perks and benefits but not a lot of annoying restrictions. You can also book through any airline, travel agent, or online travel site without restrictions.

Get 25,000 Bonus miles added to your account, for example, by just using the Escape Discover Card for two years. Each month you make a purchase on your Escape by Discover plastic the company tosses in an additional 1,000 points – so after 25 months you have about $250 worth of miles automatically accrued and ready to redeem. You may also receive an offer worth 10,000 bonus miles when you make $1,000 in purchases within the first 3 months.

(The reason there are two different kinds of offers available is that Discover has standard offers on extended to everyone, and then they offer special other offers by mail to selected recipients.)

Escape Discover Card offers unlimited double miles for every $1 you spend on all purchases, also extends 0% introductory offers for six months for both purchases and balance transfers. After the intro period expires then the standard interest rate will be 10.99% to 15.99%, depending upon your credit rating. There is, however, a $60 annual fee for membership on the Escape by Discover.

The Bottom-Line
Escape Discover Card offers double miles for every $1 spend, making it a really generous rewards card for travelers. You can also earn up to 25,000 bonus miles and there are no special restrictions regarding where you can spend your redeemed mileage credits. There is a $60 annual fee, however, but the company also offers a 0% introductory rate to qualified members.

The Good
You get double miles on everything you purchase, plus a chance to earn as many as 25,000 bonus miles. That many miles is roughly equal to a $250 bonus you can apply toward travel, so it’s a significant bonus. You can also get a great 0% introductory APR.

The Not So Good
There is a $60 a year annual fee.
