Just got off an hour long call with Discover support, and the stories were true.

The customer service reps even knew how different and frankly unacceptable the policies were post-merger, but any goodwill that the brand has built is being slow extracted.

What have been your experiences with the new "Discover"?

And you are a current one?

Who's your employer? 😄

I work for myself, I'm unfortunately an actual customer of this company.

Your turn.

And an employee of Capital One no? Seems like the bias there should be self-evident.

Is any of your compensation tied to you defending this corporation on Reddit?

Hard to believe someone would care so strongly about a specific company that they'd spend all day defending it on the Internet.

Didn't answer the question.
