No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
If you want one without a FTF, why not go hog wild and get one that will at least fall back to chip-n-pin. It probably isn't needed for most foreign travel, but it doesn't hurt. I believe PenFed and Andrews both offer such cards.

What happened to members choose rewards?
I'm not exactly sure of how that works. I don't have this card, but I do know that it was the members that voted for no FTF and that became a reality. It does say community members vote on the card features, so I imagine that's still in play with this card.

You have to be careful with Discover, it has very limited acceptance in some countries. Check their acceptance coverage map online. I am in France right now and Discover is not accepted anywhere.😕

Keep both your credit and your body in top shape!

Anyone who thinks Discover is a travel card clearly hasn't travelled outside the U.S.
Amex is issued globally and even that is barely accepted.
It just depends on the country you are travelling too. For example, Discover is more accepted in China than Visa/Mc. Not that any credit card is easy to use in China....
I just realised, that my AMEX PRG also has no FTF...
But it is a charge card, is it widely accepted worldwide?
Thanks

It doesn't matter if it is a charge card or a revolver. If they accept Amex, they will accept the PRG. Most major hotels in tourist areas will accept Amex. But you will probably need other Visa/MC or Discover cards depending on where you are going. Or possibly you can use cash instead for most things.
A bunch of Barclay's cards are also 0% FTF with no AF.
Barclay Ring
Barclay Carnival
Barclay Holland America
Barclay Priceline
Barclay Princess Cruises
As others said, do not go to another country and expect to be able to rely on your Discover card. It's not accepted in many countries, especially in Europe.
