The Discover Card is America’s first cash rewards credit card, and I think it has one of the most pleasant customer service in the credit card industry. The Discover credit card is issued by Discover Financial (NYSE:DFS), one of the largest credit card issuers in the US. There are several types and versions of Discover credit cards (cash back/rewards hybrid cards), and many have similar features. Having reviewed so many credit cards, I can say with confidence that Discover is one of the more competitive card issuers as it frequently comes out with new credit cards for different needs.

We at DailyMarkets.com get all the latest Discover credit card offers directly from Discover, so we know which are the latest and hottest deals and can share them with our readers here.

Here’s a quick overview of Discover cards:

- Discover cash back cards give you up to 5% cash back on your spending. This 5% applies to certain categories of purchases every quarter. The categories are wide-ranging, and include gas, fashion, travel, dining and many more, so you always have an opportunity to save more money on your regular expenses. Think of cash back cards as discount cards!

- Discover Cards are very flexible. Your cash rewards can be exchanged for real cash or if you prefer, other types of rewards such as store gift cards or merchandise.

- You can more than DOUBLE the value of your cash rewards if you redeem them for certain partner retailer gift certificates instead of cash. For instance, if you’ve earned a $40 rebate, you can exchange it  for a $100 certificate from Hyatt Hotels & Resorts.

- Shop at Discover’s online mall ShopDiscover to earn between 5-20% cash back when you buy stuff from over 200 big-name online retailers such as BestBuy, Groupon, Home Depot, JCPenney etc. Miles card members earn double miles at ShopDiscover.

- Great customer service. Discover Card ranked #2 in customer satisfaction among major US credit card companies in 2010, behind American Express.
