Rates & Term Details

From the CompareCards.com Editorial Team:

The Miles by Discover Card is Discover’s answer to customers who like the Discover travel cards such as the Escape card, but they do not like having to pay an annual fee. This card, the Miles, does not carry any membership fee and Discover typically offers newcomers a great 0% APR for the first six billing cycles.

Plus you can earn 12,000 bonus milesat a rate of 1,000 each month if you just make a purchase each of your first 12 months. So there are lots of user-oriented incentives to apply for the Miles by Discover Card. There are also no restrictions on travel in terms of which airlines, travel agents, or online travel booking sites you can use.

Once you get the card you can earn double miles on your first $3,000 in travel and restaurant purchases each year, plus 1 mile for each $1 you spend on all other purchases. Another way to get double miles is to shop in the exclusive online Discover shopping mall.

The Bottom-Line
This is a really good rewards card for those who want a card that does not charge an annual fee but still offers unrestricted travel rewards and excellent customer service.

The Good
There is no annual fee with the Miles Discover card and you can earn 12,000 bonus miles as well as receive a 0% introductory APR.

The Not So Good
There is a foreign currency transaction charge of 3%, but that is pretty much standard with almost all cards these days – and lots of them charge more than that.
