Build Your Own Credit Card with Discover
| February 2, 2010 |
With a growing number of consumers wanting to have credit cards to fit their lifestyle, it now looks as if Capital One will not be the only issuer that will give cardholders the ability to design their own plastic. Discover recently introduced "CardBuilder", which is an online tool that gives applicants the ability to select certain terms, rewards preferences, and card design. While it does not have all the same options that Capital One does, it should still draw the attention of those looking for customizable plastic.
So what is the process of signing up for a Discover credit card designed specifically for you? Although I have not signed up myself, it is stated that cardholders begin by giving a little bit of information such as credit standing and how the applicant plans on managing their balances. Next, consumers then have the ability to choose from the rewards that they think they will utilize most. Rewards as of now include cashback, airline miles, and even getting interest back for paying on time. Lastly, consumers have the choice of choosing a card design of the twenty eight that are available.
While designing the card is a big deal for many, one thing that many potential cardholders will be looking at more than anything is the interest rates that are associated with the plastic. As long as the interest rates are reasonable it could seem that CardBuilder will now give Discover cardholders a feeling of have a credit card designed specifically for them that they will feel comfortable in using to make purchases.
