Is it a good card to have? I have only had Amex, Visa and Mastercards so far. But the benefits of the Discover It card seem pretty good.

I have it. Enjoy the 5% back on different categories each quarter. Also really like that they have your credit score on each statement. Solid card if you ask me.

It's a good one to have. Similar to the Chase Freedom with rotating 5% categories. With both of those cards together, you can usually get %5 back on gas and dining for at least half the year if the categories aren't overlapped.

Their customer service for the card is excellent. You can call 24/7 and someone in Utah picks up.

I generally like their card and rarely have a problem with it being accepted although it's good to have a backup. And their customer service is solid and based in the US.

The only gripe I have (and it's minor) is that for some reason my Quicken downloads sometimes have weird-looking zero-dollar transactions. Every week they tell me that I had charges of $0.00 to merchants named something like "ZMSW4WA3" or "A3GASGE456". It's been going on for years, but it's always zero so it isn't a big deal. It's just annoying to have these transactions cluttering up my register.

That aside, it's solid.

As someone who has minimal credit cards, PenFed Platinum Rewards Visa and Discover IT, I like IT because it will extend your warranty by one year on items purchased with the card.
