Buy Flights with Discover

About Discover

Discover Card is the fourth largest credit card brand in the U.S., behind Visa, MasterCard and American Express, with nearly 44 million cardholders. The Discover Card is a credit card, issued primarily in the United States, introduced in 1985.

When launched, the Discover Card charged no annual fee and offered a higher-than-normal credit limit, features that were disruptive to the existing credit card industry. A subsequent innovation was "cash back bonuses" on purchases. Most cards with the Discover brand are issued by Discover Bank (formerly the Greenwood Trust Company).

Discover Card transactions are processed through the Discover Network payment network. In February 2006, the company announced that it would begin offering Discover Debit cards to banks, made possible by the Pulse payment system, which Discover acquired in 2005.

Many of our customers at Alternative Airlines like using Discover as a way to pay for flights because they enjoy the ease and comfort that Discover offers. That is why we are pleased to announce that we accept Discover on all of its websites. Discover allows customers to pay through their mobile, using their mobile number at a pace that is suitable and comfortable for them.

Visa Checkout hopes to join industry giants such as PayPal and Google Pay by becoming one of the buttons you see on a retailer such as Alternative Airline's checkout page. Instead of competing in this market solo, however, the world's largest card networks, Visa and Mastercard, are going to combine their strengths and add both their new online payment methods, Visa Checkout and Discover will collaborate in this venture. The cards are hoping to compete with the services offered by PayPal. However, this project is still in the early stages. The button is still being developed. Mastercard and Visa won’t start moving consumers enrolled in Visa Checkout and Masterpass to the new program until later this year.

Discover to expand in IoT Payments with FitPay
Discover Financial Services Inc. and FitPay Inc. has announced a network services agreement. This agreement will commence a seamless payment experience for Discover cardholders, along with users of other partner cards.

The need of the hour is seamless payments through a number of touch points.

Discover Financial is predicted to increase its IoT partnerships by enabling it to grow its business volume and strengthen its brand name. It is estimated that more than 20.4 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020. Discover Financial has been on the forefront with respect to technological investments and enhancements. It is a leader in its market and investors have high confidence in the company, given its robust operating fundamentals and future growth.
