Discover Travel Card Interest Rates & Fees
There is introductory APR period for Purchases and Balance Transfers on Discover Travel Card. Introductory APR for the card is 0% rate for 14 months. For balance transfers, it is 10.99% for 14 months. We believe balance transfers intro APR should be same with purchase (0%).
The regular APR is not bad. It is 14.24% – 25.24% for Purchase and Balance Transfers. However Cash Advance rate is 27.24% and this is much.
There is no annual fee for the card. Cash Advance fee is high with 5% maximum rate and $10 minimum fee but Balance Transfer fee is very good.
Rewards and Bonuses
There is no sign up bonus with Discover Travel Card. However you will able to get miles match at the end of the year. It is one time offer and you will able to get your miles match bonuses 12 months later. How much miles you earned in a year? 20000? So you will get 20000 miles… 12 month is a long period though.
1.5 miles per $1 purchase is an average miles reward. You can find much better option than it.
Thoughts
We believe that Discover Travel Card can worth it if you can get low APR with it. However as we have already mentioned above, you can get bonus match miles in 12 months. It is very long time. We believe that the company should be more generous for current balance transfer APR.
