I've always heard the opposite, i.e., that Discover is consumer-friendly on chargebacks and disputes, and that's why a lot of merchants won't accept it.

Can't use Discover at Costco
·
If I buy $100 gift card (to be used within a few months) and get 5% back, my net cost is $95 (plus any interest I lose out on from the day of purchase, but would take a year to lose out on $5)

If I put that $100 in a HYSA, it takes me a year to earn $5

So if you buy gift cards that you will use within a year you will come out ahead

Quote from capricio :
I only use discover for 3 of their 4 quarterly categories. Categories seem to be applied to different quarters, year to year. I think the one for drugstores/Target or something like that was pretty useless.
Q4-- Target does 10% off GCs every year around BF. Buy with Discover and net discount is 14.5%.

Quote from xNico :
Discover has higher fees being the main reason for most businesses. Why pay more when visa or mastercard works just as well. Charge backs don't usually happen often either.
But if they always side with the merchant then that little bit extra is worth it for merchants? Especially ones that make thousands of transactions a day?

No it isn't many legit businesses rarely ever get chargebacks so that extra fees that discover takes from businesses using their card is not worth it. Some business run on tight margins, like 2-5% profit per so it makes no sense to give discover an extra %.

But you should be able use Discover on Costco.com to buy Costco Cash Card (Gift Card) to pay for gas.

Won't get the 5% but usually do this when 5% on Warehouse Clubs quarter and buy for future use. Plus price at Costco MAY be less than your local gas station price WITH the 5% discount, so it pays to compare.

Well, guess it was a good thing we maxed out the $1,500 last year then. Saved $75 on those Shop Cards.

Down to our last $100 card

Guess there is still the option when/if Chase does Warehouse Categories in the future.

Quote from xNico :
Obviously subjective, and you're correct discover fees are higher than the rest, and for businesses that have a tight profit margin that extra % can mean a lot. But the fact that the discover agent told me I would have better luck asking BBB to help me resolve the issue, and them solving the issue within a week vs the month that discover took and denied my dispute is more than enough reason to finally close it. My friend also recently had an package returned to sender, but the merchant never refunded, so he filed for a charge back, and guess what? He merchant told discover the package was delivered, but did not tell them it was delivered back to the SENDER and so the claim was denied. Had the discover investigator done their job properly, all they had to do was check on details from the fedex tracking number to see that the package was denied by customer and delivered back to merchant. Also small is a under statement discover has a miniscule percentage compared to visa or mastercard. Most of my business friends don't even use discover and is almost exclusive to only amex myself included.

The only reason I even have a discover card is because it was easy to obtain one using discover it student.

Why does this seem strange to me?
