Review by

The Miles by Discover credit card offers a long term introductory APR period on purchases. Balance transfers also qualify for the intro period but are covered only throughout a mid term period. Consumers having good credit may apply for this card to earn up to 12,000 bonus miles during the first year.

Miles earned are used to redeem cash, free merchandise from reputable merchants, gift certificates, and travel credit. With enough travel credit, the card member becomes eligible to redeem travel credit for a free flight to a destination of choice. Members are not limited by yearly limits or expiration dates.

No annual fee is charged.

Secure online account numbers help protect card members from revealing their credit card numbers during online transactions.
