…and Why Your Business Should Accept It!
Accepted across the country by 99 percent of merchants who accept credit cards, Discover is a lot more popular than people think. While some merchants may not display the Discover decal on their window or point-of-sale register, Discover does go by several decals, including Diners Club. Customers are encouraged to ask!
With a variety of options for competitive rewards programs, Discover offers miles or cash back, and even provides an alternative for consumers who are trying to build credit. At more than 800,000 ATM and bank branch locations across the U.S., card users can get cash with their Discover cards. And because Discover partners with retailers to deliver maximum rewards to card users, merchants can leverage the rewards programs to lure in new customers or existing customers who make regular purchases.
Your business should accept Discover to capture the customers who currently benefit from the following perks and rewards:
- No Annual Fees
Discover credit cards never charge an annual fee – no matter the card type, no matter the rewards type.
