Everyone’s talking about premium credit cards<\/a> these days, so it’s easy to overlook a simple no-annual-fee card<\/a>. But don’t count them out. Whether you’re brand-new to travel rewards<\/a> or you’ve been racking up points and miles for years, a card like this can still earn its keep in your wallet.<\/p>\n

The Discover it\u00ae Miles<\/a>\u00a0isn’t flashy, but it’s reliable. Its rewards are easy to understand, it has no annual fee and it’s accessible to those just getting started with credit cards. That said, it shines its brightest when it’s used as a complement to other cards or as a stepping stone to travel cards with annual fees.<\/p>\n

Card rating*: \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u00bd<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discover it Miles: The basics<\/h2>\n

At its core, the Discover it Miles<\/a> is about earning miles without constant attention to bonus categories and spending caps. You’ll earn\u00a0at least 1.5 miles per dollar spent on all purchases.<\/p>\n

Aside from this, the card offers fairly standard benefits for a no-annual-fee card. While you won’t get lounge access, statement credits or elite status with this card, the simplicity of its perks is perfectly acceptable for a card with no annual fee.<\/p>\n

Discover is widely accepted in the U.S., so you shouldn’t have any trouble making purchases here. However, while Discover is accepted in more than 185 countries and territories, data points suggest acceptance abroad is more limited than for cards on the Visa or Mastercard networks.<\/p>\n

Lastly, it’s important to note that Capital One is currently\u00a0moving all Discover products <\/a><\/span>to its platform<\/a>. This migration will take place through 2027, so make sure to pay close attention to your account. New cardholders should see their card on the Capital One network immediately.<\/p>\n
