Editor's review:
The Discover® Student Card - Clear, issued by Discover, provides a Cashback Bonus® Reward program to cardholders.
Through the reward program, cardholders earn a 5% rebate for purchases made in categories that change four times a year like travel, gas, restaurants, movies and more. Plus, cardholders earn up to 1% for general purchases.
Those who spend up to $1,500 on general purchases will receive a .25% rebate, between $1,500 and $3,000 will receive a .5% rebate, and over $3,000 will receive a 1% rebate.*
Cardholders also earn a 0.25% rebate at select warehouse clubs and discount stores, and they can earn a double Cashback Bonus® for redeeming their rebates for gift certificates from participating Discover Card Partners. There is no yearly limit on the amount of rebates that can be earned, and rebates do not expire as long as the account is active within a 36-month period.
Aside from the reward program, the card also provides standard benefits, including online account management, no liability for unauthorized transactions, and discounts on products and services at participating merchants and retailers.
The APR for this card is above average, but there is no annual fee and 0% interest on purchases for six months.
Finance charges applied use the "Two Cycles Average Daily Balance" method, which is a more costly method in applying finance charges to those who may occasionally carry a balance as compared to the "Average Daily Balance" method used by most card issuers.
Therefore, those who plan to spend over $3,000 a year (to earn the 1% cash rebate), plan to use their Cashback Bonus® award at participating retailers (to earn a full 5% rebate and double cash rebates), and plan to pay in full each month (to avoid costly finance charges) will benefit most from what the Discover® Student Card - Clear has to offer.
