What about Discover?

[Fake Healer]

I wanted to change my payment options over to a Discover Card but I don't see an option for Discover. Why not? I like my Discover Card and I have REALLY low interest rate on it. Is there any way I can use this for my subscriptions?

Discover (and Am Ex) charge more to the vendor than MS and Visa, per purchase.

I also remember something along the lines of their method of authorizing might not jive well with the authorization for subscriptions happening up to a week in advance... it may clear before the actual charge hits or something...

Don't carry a balance, and you'll never have to worry about interest rates again! :D

True, but discover gives you your 1% money back and has no annual fee. I completely understand that it's not as good of a deal for the merchant though.

I believe the term used by the VP of operations for the company I work for was something that would be censored by the boards. :P

lol you should have seen our manager at the hotel I worked with with chargebacks from AMEX. They side with the guest before even contacting us about it, and if we tried to fight it they just kept putting us on hold (I was on hold with them 'waiting for the supervisor' for 6 hours for a particularly large charge back)

Sorry 'bout that, Fakey, I didn't realize that no officials had chimed in yet!

The official answer is no. We've explored AmEx and Discover and, Selgard had it in one... we simply cannot afford their terms.

If they were ever to change their terms for vendors we could revisit this decision, but (barring this) we can't support these other cards.

Thanks,
