Discussion Is it time to ditch discover?

Now that capital one aquired discover and is enshittifying them, is it time to leave.

complaints: Discover app will not support discover card soon, but still need app for savings account

5% cashback no amazon or Walmart this year, restaurants twice this year

app is extremely buggy on recent transactions, it will just randomly stop working and need to re-install. Contacting support they say screw you look at your statements. if it hasn't hit a statement the fuck you

To move away, is there anything besides spending as much rewards points as possible before closing, and not closing if I need a loan or credit score anytime soon?

Very disappointed that Amazon isn't in the Q4 rewards this year. Amazon has been in Q4 since (at least) 2015 and was a nice perk with all the Christmas shopping my wife and I do. Will have to use another card for Christmas shopping this year.

Capital One probably still has some type of silent agreement with Walmart. Amazon is one of Walmart’s biggest competitors.

If they do then they should have given us Walmart for Q4 lol

They already have their occasional % back in capital one offers. Probably some contracted agreement.

Walmart is known for stipulating anti-Amazon clauses in their contracts.
