Our Verdict. The Discover it® Cash Back credit card is a good (but not great) cash-back card. Its customer service and first-year cash-back match stand out as its best features. The capped, rotating cash-back categories of its bonus rewards, however, make it a second-tier rewards card.

Cash back refers to a credit card benefit that refunds the cardholder's account a small percentage of the sum spent on purchases. Cash back rewards are actual cash that can be applied to a credit card bill or received as a check or bank account deposit.

Key Takeaways. Although the credit card network industry is dominated by Visa and Mastercard, smaller players like Discover share a piece of the pie. Discover launched its credit card with cashback rewards and no annual fees in 1986. Its cashback rewards remain among the highest in the industry.

How to Redeem Cash Back Rewards

2. Request a check. The issuer sends you a check for your cash back rewards.
3. Transfer rewards to a bank account.
4. Use your cash rewards as rewards points.

The Discover it® Cash Back is a good credit card that's worth it for people with a credit score of 700+ who want a $0 annual fee and a high rewards rate. Discover it® Cash Back offers 5% cash back on purchases in bonus categories up to a quarterly maximum, and Discover will match the rewards you earn the first year.

Generally, a 2% card wins out over a longer period and benefits high spenders (assuming the 2% cash back is unlimited.) But the 1.5% card with a bonus is better in the short term and better for low spenders. If it's a tie, think short-term.
