The Escape by Discover® Card, issued by Discover, is a travel rewards card that is perfect for people who are interested in earning travel miles quickly.
The rewards program offers cardholders 1,000 miles for each month a purchase is made for the first 25 months of opening an account (for a total of 25,000 Bonus Miles*). At the same time, cardholders will have the flexibility of earning unlimited Double Miles on all of their personal and business purchases. Miles never expire and can be redeemed for booking any airline, cruise, hotel stay, or car rental. You can also exchange your miles for gift cards to 90 brand-name partners or for cash starting at just 1,000 miles.
In addition to the rewards program, cardholders will also enjoy enhanced travel benefits including car rental insurance, lost luggage insurance, travel delay insurance, and travel cancellation insurance.
While there is a $60 annual fee requirement for this card, cardholders will enjoy a 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for the first six months of opening an account. The APR for this card is reasonable, although it is important to note that only higher qualifying applicants will receive the lowest rate available.
Those who plan to take advantage of the introductory rate and the travel reward program will find that the Escape by Discover® Card has a great deal to offer.
Most Attractive Feature: 0% introductory rate; reward program; bonus miles.
Least Attractive Feature: Annual fee; low rate not available to all applicants.
