I had a Discover card with like a $300 limit as my first credit card, that's definitely a 35 billion dollar business.

I've never had my discover card get declined anywhere.

those nuts started me off with a $12000 limit and already bumped it up to 19k within a year.

Should be illegal for a merchant to straight up buy a card company but who fucking cares anymore about regulations and monopolies...

What the fuck are you talking about? There are very few places that WON'T accept Discover. Only place I ran into that doesn't accept Discover also doesn't accept anything other than Visa (Costco).

Fun fact, Costco used to only accept Mastercard until the early 2010's.

Making fun of Discover for nobody accepting it seems to be a holdover from the 80s and 90s. I cant think of a discover card being denied anywhere for me personally.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

So, I have a Discover, a Capital One Visa, and a Kohls charge card.
Capital One bought/merged w/ Kohls last year so now I have two Capital One cards.
Apparently soon I'll have three? O_O

I have two capital one cards and they still give me offers for another. they don't care as long as you use them because they collect fees from vendors

They also accepted debit. The kind you had to punch in a pin for.

Would rather there not be more consolidation but that's too late now. I have one Capital one, & one Amex, don't intend on having more. I hope the quality of the first doesn't get worse

Those assholes go out of their way to make their logo look just enough like capital one that you might not notice it's them right away.

I had $5k discharged on my Discover card 7 years ago after a bankruptcy. Currently have over $20k in a Capital One savings account. Maybe it's time to get that out of there.

Our Discover is literally what we use everywhere to pay for everything. (pay it off at the end of every month as well). The only place I wasn't able to use it was in the UK when we went there. Instead we used our Capital One, so this topic seems to be very poorly titled.

The opposite. I was in Disneyland trying to buy a frozen banana and got declined. About 1 minute later a rep calls me and asked me if I was in Disneyland then asks me if I was in India buying things at a store to the tune of $800. Within a week, they dropped those charges.

Discover was my first card too back in high school. Never had issues using it.

True story. My first ever credit card I got from a cold call telemarketer hooked me up with a $500 limit capital one card.

For a number of years the State of Illinois didn't accept Visa due to some sort of contract dispute and a vendetta by the Secretary of State. Found out the hard way while trying to renew my plates.
