If you’re a student looking for a no-annual-fee cash-back card that can help you build credit, the <\/span>Discover it\u00ae Student Chrome<\/a> is a straightforward option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While it may not offer the strongest long-term earning potential, it can be a solid starter card for students who are new to credit cards. <\/span>Card rating*: \u2b50\u2b50\u00bd<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discover it Student Chrome: The basics<\/h2>\n

The <\/span>Discover it Student Chrome<\/a> is a no-annual-fee cash-back card for students who want to earn rewards while building credit. You’ll earn 2% cash back at gas stations<\/a> and restaurants<\/a> on up to $1,000 in combined purchases each quarter, automatically. All other purchases earn 1% cash back.<\/span><\/p>\n

The card’s biggest draw is its first-year cash-back match. Discover will automatically match all the cash back you’ve earned during your first year, with no limit on the amount it will match.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the benefits are limited, I appreciate how the card can help newer credit card users. Discover says you don’t need a credit score to apply, and responsible use of the card can help build credit because Discover reports your payment history to all three major credit bureaus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through 2027, Capital One is<\/span> merging all of Discover’s card products into its system<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>If you’re a current cardholder, your account should transition at some point over the next year. New cardholders will immediately be put on Capital One’s network. Certain perks covered in this review may be unavailable for current cardholders until their account is migrated to Capital One.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep an eye out for an email about your account migration.<\/span><\/p>\n
