Discover Card updated the terms for two of its popular travel credit cards in September. The "Miles by Discover Card" and "Escape by Discover Card" products both continue to offer blackout-free miles that can be redeemed for travel with any major airline, hotel, or car rental company. As of September 1st, both cards feature a 10.99% variable APR and the ability to exchange miles for other rewards, like retail gift cards, exclusive merchandise, or cash rebates. Discover also offers Miles and Escape cardholders 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for the first six months after establishing new accounts.

Both cards feature exclusive perks and benefits. For instance, each Miles by Discover Card account offers:

  • Up to 12,000 bonus miles for new members, accrued at 1,000 miles per month.
  • One mile earned for every dollar spent.
  • Bonus double miles earned for the first $3,000 spent on restaurant and travel expenses each year.

Escape by Discover Card accounts double miles earned on purchases, and extend the bonus miles earning period to 25 months for a total of 25,000 bonus miles. Both cards include access to Discover's customer service team, recently commended by the International Quality & Productivity Center for integrating cardholder feedback into its daily operations.
