The Discover® More® Card - Wildlife Collection, issued by Discover, is designed for those with very good credit who are looking for a cash reward credit card.

Through the reward program, cardholders can earn a 5% Cashback Bonus® in categories such as travel, gas, restaurants, movies, and more. Cardholders also earn up to 1% for general purchases and .25% for purchases made at select warehouse clubs and discount stores.

Those who spend up to $1,500 on general purchases will receive a .25% rebate, between $1,500 and $3,000 will receive a .5% rebate, and over $3,000 will receive a 1% rebate.*

As an added bonus, cardholders can earn up to a double Cashback Bonus® when redeeming their rebates for gift certificates from participating Discover® Card Partners. There is no yearly limit on the amount of rebates that can be earned, and rebates do not expire as long as the account is active within a 36-month period.

The card has no annual fee and features an attractive 0% introductory APR on purchases and balance transfers for 6 months. The APR after the introductory rate expires is reasonable for those who qualify.

Aside from the rewards program, the card also provides several platinum benefits, including travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and various fraud and security protection services. Cardholders will also have access to discounts on products and services at participating merchants and retailers.

Therefore, those who plan to spend at least $3,000 a year (to earn the 1% cash rebate), plan to use their Cashback Bonus® award at participating retailers (to earn double cash rebates), and plan to pay in full each month after the introductory rate expires (to avoid costly finance charges) will benefit most from what the Discover® More® Card - Wildlife Collection has to offer.

*It is important to note that like many cash rewards cards, the highest rebate offered will not apply to all purchases made with the credit card. In this case, 1% will be applied only to those purchases made after the cardholder spends over $3,000 in one year, so the overall cash rebate earned will be less than 1%, depending on the amount spent. For instance, if the cardholder were to spend $4,000, only $1,000 of this amount would be applied towards the 1% rebate. However, this does not take into account any promotional offers or the full 5% Cashback Bonus® award.
