| RXDOC's Full Review: Discover Card |
I have been a Discover Card Member since 1994. I have always thought of the card as just "another credit card"...until now. Ya sure it is great getting back up to 1% of your purchases and not having to pay an annual fee. There is, however, one thing that makes Discover stand out above the rest IMHO.
Last week I get a call from Discover. I immediately think ....telemarketer. As I am getting ready to say..."sorry I'm not interested" the person on the other end introduces themselves as a member of Discover Card security. Interested now I listen. They tell me that they believe my card may have been compromised and that they need to investigate some transactions....I am very skeptical. I ask for a phone number and name of the person so I can call back and confirm their ID. Sure enough it is Discover Card. They had noticed a transaction that seemed to be out of spending habit for me (apparently they monitor what types of merchants you use the card with).
The odd thing was that it was a bad charge...someone had gotten ahold of my number and made a fraudulent charge. Now get ready for the kicker...it was only $54. It really made me feel good that Discover was looking out for my best interest and took something as little as $54 as a possible security breach.
I was not held responsible for the charge and a new card was in my hands in 3 days. Thank You Discover Card!
