Discover IT Miles: HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!!

So Capital One Venture added  transfer partners.   So, in a competition-beating move, Discover IT Miles has launched MyMiles, a quarterly magazine......

Well, darn.

Since I got rid of this card a long time ago I guess I'll miss out such a game-changing perk. I wish I had known sooner! 😄

Re: Discover IT Miles: HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!!

I wonder what they'll do with it.

 

Departures (Amex Platinum's magazine) must have a decent budget, and even they have mostly ads and what I assume is sponsored content. A few good articles, though.

 

AAA has a travel magazine (I assume for budget travel, don't think I ever read it), but they have a decent member base.

 

I guess Discover can feature ads to encourage people to spend money they don't have, then remind them how easy it is to get a Discover personal loan.

Personal spend: Amex Gold, Amex Schwab Plat., BofA PR+CCR(x2), Costco
Business use: Amex Bus. Plat., BBP, Lowes Amex AU, CFU AU
Perks: Delta Plat., United Explorer, IHG49, Hyatt, "Old SPG"
Mostly SD: Freedom Flex, Freedom, Arrival
Upgrade/Downgrade games: ED, BCE
SUB chasing: AA Platinum Select

You totally got me, HAHAHA! 

 

I got an email today talking about "MyMiles" and I got excited because I thought that Discover was moving towards something like the Capital One Venture card but no, just messing with my feelings, hahaha!

With the cards that I have, I only with the Discover it Miles for the annual $30 airplane wifi credit but that's it! 

Maybe with the magazine they can add more advertisers (I imagine the whole magazine being full of advertisement) and, with that, bring more money for the bank because advertisers want to use Discover's mailing list to "show" their products but dude, a magazine? A MAGAZINE? Hahahaha, hilarious specially after what Capital One released a couple of days ago (75k SUB + transfer partners), hahaha!
