My Discover Card

I had this idea in my head last winter... start a small business printing wedding invitations. Since getting my Discover card I am amazed at all the stuff Discover has on their site, I mean they have all kind of services, like getting a tow for your broke-down car, or calculating how long it will take to pay off your balance.
Another neat thing I found I really like, it's the Shop Discover section. You can get money back on many major online retailers for simply linking through the Discover site to the retailer’s website. I love deals, I’m always checking for a deal somewhere! Little did I know I already had an abundance of deals available to me because of my trusty Discover card. I bought supplies for said small business -some paper- and it was so easy. Just click, click pay. I advise small business owners to look at the Shop Discover section and make their purchases using a Discover card. Every little bit helps when every expense for your business comes out of YOUR pocket.

I've had credit cards from other companies before, but with them I just felt kind of taken advantage of. I was getting absolutely no cash back, rewards, bonuses, discounts, or services but I was paying a bill of thousands of dollars... we'll I transferred my balance to Discover and never looked back.

I wrote this in part because Discover is offering $50 gift cards to people who blog about Shop Discover, that and the fact I really like this card! Hopefully I'll be one of the lucky people who get one, because, as I said, every little bit helps as I develop my new small business. And did I mention I have a pink card? I love it!
