The relatively cool coloured design of the Chase Freedom credit card isn’t terribly imaginative but it is still aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
There are also some interesting features - in particular the cash back scheme which harks back to many of the older inducement schemes historically offered by credit card companies.
The offer includes:
- Earn 3% Cash Back for every eligible $1 spent in purchases at Grocery Stores, Gas Stations, and Fast Food Restaurants
- Earn 1% Cash Back for every $1 spent in purchases everywhere else
- Get a $50 Check once you’ve earned $50 in rewards
- Save up $200 in rewards and redeem for $250 cash back
- Save with 0% APR* for up to 12 months and No Annual Fee
- Regular APR 14.24%.

The Discover Platinum credit card does look different from your average card, although it’s not the most pleasing to the eye in my opinion. However, you do get the option to switch to the more pleasing stars and stripes design.
Nonetheless, the features are competitive:
- 0% Intro APR* for Purchases and Balance Transfers for 12 months.
- Full 5% Cashback Bonus® on Get More Program purchases throughout the year when you shop at places like bookstores, home improvement stores, gasoline stations, restaurants and more.
- Up to 1% Cashback Bonus on all other purchases.
- $0 Fraud Liability.
- No Annual Fee.
- DOUBLE your Cashback Bonus® (turn $20 into $40) when you redeem for gift cards or certificates from many of our 60 brand name partners.
- Regular APR 10.99%.
