[edit] The ability to have the entire balance paid off automatically from a bank account each month.

Pretty much every card issuer offers this option. Few advertise it and Discover card is no exception. Also this section seems more like an enthusiastic rant from an eager fan than a valid encyclopedia entry.

Where is the verification of this? How is this information referenced?

I suggest removing this section. Dsv1 00:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Please keep it in. It is true. Need an Affidavit? I will provide one. Bet that I could get 100's of others. Just happened to me and my wife, both loyal Discover holders for years. No explanation was given, nor could one be provided. We both have credit scores above 710, and immaculate credit histories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.29.185.224 (talk) 07:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Discover Network.png

Image:Discover Network.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Spinoff in June or September, 2007?

The intro section states that Morgan Stanley will spin off the Discover unit by June, 2007 (which ends this week.) The Developments section says that the spin off is due within three months, by September, 2007. Does anyone know which one is correct? (And could you then correct it, please?

[edit] Article move

I think it makes sense to move this article to Discover Financial Services (currently a redirect). Then, Discover Card would become more specifically about the present status and history of the card itself. As it is, the article suffers from split personality disorder (look at the intro, for example). So, for example, Apple Inc. and iMac; Discover Financial Services and Discover Card. Thoughts?   j    talk   23:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the article needs to be split into more than one, because Discover has changed much since it's inception. A perfect example is Discover Network, which now operates similar to Visa and MasterCard, allowing banks other than Discover Bank to issue Discover Network Cards. And then combine this with the acquisition of the Diners Club network, which will be merged with the Discover Network in 2-3 years. I think there should be one article for the network which talks about the network and who the licensees are, and another article about Discover Bank and the cards it issues. Discover Bank is no longer the only issuer of Discover Network Cards. (Technically "Discover Cards" are issued by Discover Bank, while "Discover Network Cards" are any card issued on the network regardless of what bank issued them.) So my vote is yes. --WisTex (talk) 20:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Green Dot Discover

Is the Green Dot prepaid Discover card still offered? I don't see any reference to it at the company website. mdkarazim (talk) 16:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
