I just got an ad that was talking about great Discover cards were because they were accepted in all these places and like
dude i’ve literally never been in a place that took credit cards that did not take mine? is this still a selling point?
I seem to remember when Discover cards were new that they weren’t accepted everywhere, so this selling point only has the slimmest possibility of working on someone who still thinks Discover cards aren’t accepted everywhere and wants another credit card.
I remember when I was a kid my parents would sometimes have to use one card vs another one because one place didn’t take the one, but I haven’t seen that happen in like 20 to 25 years.
Neither of my cards is a Discover, but it’s still a super weird thing to advertise now.
