divinemadness Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I recieved a preapproval in the mail, applied and got the card. my question is - where is discover used anyway? nowadays? i never see discover signs anywhere. i know visa and mc are used widely.. and amex.. but discover???and anyone know if they back up any store cards?? that would be an easy approval since having a regular discover card..?? thankss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewscott Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 My Wal-Mart card is a Discover card. Most places accept Visa and Mastercard. Almost all places that accept Visa and Mastercard will usually take Discover as well. Discover is a close second to Visa and Mastercard and then Amex trails behind. At least that is what I've noticed. If places don't take one of those four cards it's usually Amex.Congrats on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 ...most places usually take Discover card. I never had a problem in the past using it at any stores/vacations; great card to have in your wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboveAverage Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Does anyone know if Discover black lists....it's been about 12 years since I burned them? They gave me initially a 1500 limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewscott Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 What ever happened to diners club? LOL i remember my parents having that card in the 80's. Is it still around?We'll it looks like Discover bought their network and the cards are issued with a Master Card logo. At least that's what I think has happened. Maybe if someone still has that card they could chime in.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diners_Clubhttps://www.dinersclubus.com/dce_content/home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverCynic Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 What are the odds of me getting the Sams's Discover with my EQ and 1 collection that will drop in a month? I want to strike before AMEX and Cabela's hit my report. Anyone care to venture a guess? Also I don't want to get approved and have a tiny limit! Any other discover's in my territory?
