The green movement is here to stay… and for good reason! The new Discover Biodegradable credit card (nicknamed the Discover Bio card) combines two things you would never expect together – the green movement and plastics. Who would have ever thought something a plastic charge card could ever be considered environmentally-friendly?! But it’s not just the high-tech material that’s special, but also the rewards.

Please note this site happens to have a financial relationship (advertising) with Discover and most credit card companies for that matter.

After it has been in “landfill” type conditions for 5 years, this special biodegradable Discover card will actually disintegrate 99%. There is absolutely no toxic residue or byproduct left behind when this occurs. Who would have thought plastic could be so eco-friendly? Applicants can choose from six different designs, each bearing the green symbol which let’s others know you are an eco-conscience consumer when they see the card. It’s a great “silent” way to make a strong statement about your support for the environment.

That’s great and all, but let’s face it… this involves your money. It needs to be more than just biodegradable with a cool design. That, in itself, is probably not a good enough reason to get a card!

Fortunately, the rewards on the Bio Card are the best on the market! It offers 5% Cashback Bonus on popular category changes that change every quarter. Categories like gas, groceries, restaurants, home improvement stores, department stores, travel and more. At any given quarter, the card usually offers the 5% on at least 3 of these categories (they notify you before the quarter begins to let you know the categories). You also get up to 1% cash back on all other purchases. The card has no annual fee and they usually have a 0% balance transfer offer promo going on for it. So you’re not only helping the Earth, but also your wallet, and let’s face it… all of our wallets could use some help in times like these!
