The Highlights
The Discover It Miles program is straightforward and easy, but the lack of significant welcome offers makes this a poor program to invest in
- Discover does not offer transferable miles either, making the program even less valuable
- You can only open one Discover card in 12 months, which significantly limits your ability to collect miles
- The best way to use Discover It Miles for travel is by using them to cover any travel purchase made in the last 180 days
What to Know About This Point System
When it comes to the Tortoise and the Hare, Discover IT Miles are definitely the Tortoise. What you don’t get is a big, easy sign-up bonus. What you do get is a match of rewards in your first 12 months. Discover will match all of your miles earned. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out, the more you spend the more you get back. It’s a simple miles scheme and no keeping track of spending categories.
Redemption is just as easy: log into your Discover account and use miles toward travel purchases, cash back or Amazon purchases. Steadily earn and steadily redeem with no annual fee. There’s no commitment, just a slow consistent earning stride.
