    I have had my Discover Card for 22 years. I’ve held onto it that long because of their customer service. When you call someone who speaks plain English answers the phone and is able to answer your questions. They may not have the best rewards system but I value service. Hopefully this will not change.

      I have multiple cards and capital one is the hardest to get a credit limit increase. Each time I try, I get a different excuse as to why they are denying me. capital one cares only about capital one, not your credit growth.

    Speaking of mergers.
    My oldest credit card goes back to 1995 and was issued by Chemical Bank. Shortly after they merged with Chase.
    Fast forward almost 30 years and now it's a Freedom Unlimited. 🤪

    Rarely do mergers make sense for shareholders and consumers. It’s just a way for managers to grease themselves. This one is different. This could prevent the visa Mastercard low cost duopoly.

    Without a question, investing is a smart approach to increase and save your money. Before investing, you don't need to have much money. If you make good investments with the little money you have right now, you could become rich. It doesn't matter if you don't have any of them right now; you can start TODAY regardless of your age to invest and change your future. I wasn't financially free until my 40s, and I'm still in my 40s. I've bought my second house, earn on a monthly basis through passive income, and achieved 4 out of 5 goals. Investments are a wise decision I made.

      I highly endorse the services of Regina Louise Collaro, a US-based financial advisor and consultant. Partnering with an international organization, she has been instrumental in guiding my financial journey with unwavering support until my goals are met. Selecting the right financial consultant is as crucial as finding the right life partner, as both can significantly impact your life's trajectory. I'm grateful to have found the perfect financial consultant who has helped me achieve my financial objectives, from education to nearing retirement...

    Assuming the deal actually goes through, I could see Capital One changing their Platinum and possibly the Quicksilvers to run on the Discover network. I imagine the Ventures would stay Visa since they are travel cards and Visa has better worldwide acceptance.

    Discover & Amex are the best in customer service. Capital One is one of the worst. Say goodbye to based in USA and dealing with off shore agents with hard to understand accents. I just hope Amex will go after all the best customer service agents whose jobs are going to be outsourced soon.

  • @mitchell.9632
    @mitchell.9632 2 місяці тому +1

    Hoping it doesn't get regulatory approval and anti-trust will block it. Those two combined will be 19% on the credit side of the market which is higher than Chases 16%. There is also on the banking side a lot of market concentration too. Around half the amount of banks (and about half the amount of credit unions) in the last 25 years due to mergers like this. And there is more population in that time so the per capita amount of choice is less. Part of a trend that started to accelerate in the mid 1980s though the downward trend has been going on for 80+ years.

    What I'm most afraid of is international acceptance. I like having the VX work abroad with no FTFs since it's a Visa. If Capital One moves over to Discover's payment network good luck using their cards abroad.

    • @newagain9964
      @newagain9964 2 місяці тому

      cap1 will keep a bit of discover’s payment network going mostly as a project to see if it can increase acceptance and processing profits. It’s probably gonna be a mostly ugly thing for a 5-10yrs. But if it survives, it’s because it was sold off or cap1 actually nailed it

    • @michaelhorgan9525
