I’ve had this card for a few years, I rarely encounter someone who doesn’t accept it. (United States) I carry this card, the citi cash back master card and the amazon prime visa. Figure at least one works and I prioritize best reward.

Also the categories they offer 5% on (amazon, gas, restaurants, grocery) are likely to take discover.

Thanks for the feedback, good to know. Interesting you mentioned the Amazon card. I would actually be curious to hear your experience with that Amazon card. In looking at the reviews on their site, nearly the entire last two years reviews are pretty abysmal review(one star.) Cheers.

I have had an amazon card for a few years now.

I can't say anything bad or good about it. I get 1% back (or points to spend at amazon) for any purchases, 2% points back for gas, and 3% points when I use it at amazon.

There's been more than several times where it looked like it never applied the points to my account though. I always paid it off in full every month, and sometimes it works sometimes not. When I lived on the road and used it for hotels, while getting reimbursed from them, I was able to rack up $1500 worth of points.

Other than that, it's been fine. Looking around for something a bit better though.

Costco card is better for gas, restaurants, and travel. Double cash card is 2% on everything. Both are Citi, so its one app and account, just have to remember if youre buying gas, restaurant, travel or costco.
