My wife and I have the same card and pay it off constantly.

We make around $200 a year for using the Discover card and have never had a late payment or even 1 cent of interest.

It’s nice.

May I also recommend the Target Visa card? A percentage of all purchases are given by Target to the public school of our choice (we named our sons’ school, natch), _and_ every other month or so we get a gift card for 10% off our next shopping trip to Target. It’s sweet.
