The Discover 2GOSM Card, An Innovation In The Credit Card Industry, Offers The Key To Convenience
March 20, 2002
RIVERWOODS, Il., March 20, 2002 - Discover®
Card is making a big move, bringing its trademark
benefits - the Cashback Bonus® award,
no annual fee, and special Cardmember offers -
out of the wallet. The Discover 2GOSM
Card (patents pending), the first card of its
kind in the credit card industry, has a unique,
compact shape and is housed in a protective case
that easily attaches to a key chain, belt or money
clip.
The Discover 2GO Card provides the
ultimate convenience to Cardmembers by offering
a handy new way to access their Discover Card
Accounts. It shares the same Account number, credit
limit and expiration date as the Cardmember's
existing Discover Card, but allows greater flexibility.
No longer will people have to take their wallets
along in their gym bags, beach totes or briefcases
- Discover 2GO is the perfect card for today's
busy lifestyles.
"We're bringing Discover
Card out of people's wallets and putting all of
its benefits at their fingertips," said David
W. Nelms, president and chief operating officer
of Discover Financial Services, Inc. "When Discover
Card was launched, we were the only major credit
card company to offer a no annual fee product
and a cash reward program. Now, with the launch
of the Discover 2GO Card, we are once again changing
the industry and, at the same time, providing
unprecedented convenience to our Cardmembers."
After
a year long pilot, the Discover 2GO Card is now
launching in select Midwest markets, with national
availability this summer. For more information
