The Discover® Open Road(SM) Card, issued by Discover, is designed for those with very good credit who would like to earn cash rewards for their gas and auto maintenance spending.
Through the reward program, cardholders earn a full 5% in cash rebates for gas and auto maintenance purchases, 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 full 1% rebate.*
This card also offers a variable rebate on gas and auto maintenance purchases. Those who spend up to $1,200 will receive a full 5% rebate, between $1,200 and $1,500 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. 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.
As an added bonus, cardholders can earn up to a double Cashback Bonus® for redeeming their rebates for gift certificates from participating Discover Card Partners.
Aside from the reward program, the card also provides several platinum benefits, including travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and various fraud and security protection services.
This card has an attractive 0% introductory rate on purchases for six months and a 0% introductory rate on balance transfers for twelve months. The APR for this card is reasonably low, although it is important to note that only higher qualifying applicants will receive the lowest rate available.
