Clear Blue Discover

Riding the wave of translucent or clear credit cards, Discover this month launched a clear, blue Platinum card. The card, promoted as ‘Very Now’ and ‘Very Cool’, is “clearly” playing off of the American Express smart Blue Card and the Providians clear smart VISA cards. Discover has yet to launch a smart card, but this year has adopted the motto: ‘For the Slightly Smarter Consumer’. Like other current offers, the Discover clear blue Platinum card is offering a 0% APR for new purchases and balance transfers. The 0% rate is applicable until next June. Capital One is currently offering a 0% APR through July, while Citibank has also extended its 0% interest rate on balance transfers through next July. According to CardWatch, the most aggressive offer in the marketplace from a major issuer comes from Chase, which is offering a 12-month 0% APR on balance transfers.
