So, I finally got around to calling Discover and PC'ing from the It Chrome to the plain It. Since I have DC & CSP, it was pointless to have Chrome but I held on to it since I have the Freedom as well and the categories appear written by the same person at times. Anyway, when I signed up for Discover two years ago I signed up for Discover It Student. I'm sure of it. I've since graduated so one of the questions I asked her was after changing to Discover It from Chrome I'd also like to PC to a regular Discover card. Her answer astounded me. She said "you have a regular Discover card. I can change your graduation date in your education column because it has you listed as graduating in '17 but apart from that your new Discover It isn't a student card." This is where I again said "gosh, I'm pretty sure I have the student card maybe my memory is failing me but I'm almost sure of it" (I said that to be nice. I know it). She said "no, you have a regular Discover card."
This begs the question: is she wrong, did somehow PC'ing to the regular it free me from the student version (I doubt it) or does it really not matter in Discover's quirky universe between a student or regular card and they are really one in the same card? I must admit I can't find the word student anywhere on my account or card but I know I have it. Currently my Discover card is at student levels. It's my lowest card at $2,000 but to be honest I don't use it either. What say you?
I believe that she is wrong based on my own experience with a student card from Discover, and because.... Why would a graduation date even come up in the conversation if it wasn't indicated somewhere that the account was for students? If something doesn't make sense, then I simply don't believe it to be true.
My Discover It card was originally a student Discover More card that I picked up in 2012. I've been told several times that the card is no longer a student card but I don't believe it at all. Somewhere in the system, the account is flagged as a student account, which has basically limited the card's ability to grow. For almost as long as I have had the card, my Discover It has been one of the lowest limit cards I have ever had. I'm almost positive that if I had applied for the regular card back in 2012 things would be very different today. Discover currently makes up about 1.5% of my overall credit card limits.
