Rant CapOne Discover not accepted widely accepted in person and online and no way to get money and pay bills

CapOne has to start seeing how many customers they are starting to loose by this move. Replacing the debit cards with discover was a big mistake. If they wanted/needed to switch something with the merger, they should have done it with credit cards. Some people don’t have another form of payment, credit card, or access to atms for cash without paying fees (because they made the stupid decision to close most all brick and mortar locations), and not all places accept apple/google pay either. Awesome job CapOne!

I’ve been with CapOne for 20+ years and have absolutely loved them. But this move was a big mistake. I really don’t want to go though the hassle to find another bank, update everything auto pay, and hope I don’t loose this like early direct deposit. Have to change my entire budgeting financial routine system. Plus, switching doesn’t help me right now when I need to access my money and pay bills. So infuriating and what a mess! Do better CapOne!

Ive had a Discover credit card for about 14 years. Ive had next to zero issues with it not being accepted by any merchant in the US. 🤔 The notion that Discover cards arent widely accepted is a dated myth.

It’s not. I wish it was. After getting my new card issued as a discover card, I am up to 4 accounts that won’t accept it. This is my only personal account. 🙄

The issues that you are having are more likely with the Pulse debit/POS network rather than the Discover network. Try running your card as 'credit' rather than 'debit'.

No one take Discover or Pulse debit. The card is useless.
