The Discover® Student Card - Clear, issued by Discover, provides a Cashback Bonus® rewards program to cardholders.

Through the rewards program, students can earn a 5% Cashback Bonus for purchases made in popular categories that change four times a year like gas, restaurants, department stores and more.

In addition, cardholders earn up to 1% for general purchases. Those who spend up to $3,000 on general purchases will earn a .25% Cashback Bonus. After spending $3,000, cardmembers will earn 1% Cashback Bonus.

There is no yearly limit on the amount of rewards that can be earned, and rewards do not expire as long as the account is active within an 18-month period.

Aside from the rewards program, the card also provides standard benefits, including online account management, no liability for unauthorized transactions, and discounts on products and services at participating merchants and retailers.

This card has no annual fee and 0% interest on purchases for 9 months.

Therefore, those who plan to spend over $3,000 a year (to earn 1% cashback), plan to use their Cashback Bonus® award at participating retailers (to earn a full 5% cashback), and plan to pay in full each month (to avoid costly finance charges) will benefit most from what the Discover® Student Card - Clear has to offer.
