My car is over heating! That's a good thing!

So I'm stranded on the side of the road, because my vehicle started to over heat,  waiting for my vehicle to cool down.  Why is this a good thing? Because I get to use my Discover and get double the cash back!!  :-/

Of course I'm being sarcastic... this really sucks!

Hahah!! I couldn't wait to get in here and find out how an overheating car could be a good thing. Sorry, hope you get back on your way soon.

Sorry about your car.  Maybe you could have used your Discover for towing.  Lots to tow trucks take credit cards now.  Hope you got it going.

You could have requested CLI from the discover mobile app in the meanwhile ;-)

Sorry and be safe out there 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

I've always heard stories about CC companies issuing cards to dogs.  This is a whole new level though, if it's built right into the app.
