Summary
The Discover it® Student Chrome is a no-annual-fee cash-back card for students aiming to build credit. It offers 2% cash back at gas stations and restaurants, up to $1,000 quarterly, and 1% on other purchases. The card includes a first-year cash-back match, with no credit score requirement. It will transition to Capital One’s network by 2027. Rewards can be redeemed as statement credits or electronic deposits. While it provides simple rewards, long-term earning potential is limited compared to other cards.
