Is this card right for you?

✓ Best for

someone rebuilding credit who wants a card that reports to all three bureaus.

⚠ Think twice if

your spending is spread evenly, where a flat-rate card would likely earn you more.

Earning rates

2% cash back at gas stations and restaurants (on up to $1,000 in combined spend each quarter), then 1%
1% cash back on all other purchases
Cashback Match: Discover matches all the cash back you earn in your first year

Best ways to earn & redeem

Put your dining and gas spending on this card to earn at its highest rates, and let a different card handle the categories it does not bonus. Its dining rate is on the modest side for that category, so compare before you commit.

When you cash in, take the rewards as cash back or a statement credit, worth a flat 1 cent each. We value every point at a flat 1 cent, so treat any transfer upside as a bonus rather than the baseline — see what your points are really worth.

Features & benefits

Refundable security deposit from $200 sets your credit limit
Automatic reviews starting at 7 months to graduate to an unsecured card and refund your deposit
No annual fee; reports to all three credit bureaus
