it Cash Back By Discover March 2024 Review

Discover it Cashback Review:

This credit card comes with a high cash-back reward system in rotating quarterly categories — however, a major drawback of this card is that those rewards don't get applied automatically, activation is required and spending caps apply.

Featuring a $0 annual fee, for those who don't mind putting in a little extra work to a little work to activate rewards, this credit card is well worth it.
