Overview

The Discover It Card earns 5% cash back in rotating categories each quarter, up to $1500 in spend. Outside of the 5X categories, the card earns only 1% cash back.

That said, this card has a few great things going for it:

• No annual fee
• No foreign transaction fees
• Double Cash Back First Year: Discover will double all cash back earned the first year. This means that for the first year, you get 10% cash back within rotating categories and 2% cash back everywhere else. That's excellent. Plus, Discover has a pretty good cash back portal, Discover Deals. And, all cash back earned through the portal is doubled as well!
• Discover Cash Back is worth more than face value when redeemed for partner gift cards instead of cash.
