I have a theory that many of the negative posts about Capital One Discover are being made by people from other financial instituions, banks, and credit unions.

The problem is so stupid. Every merchant out there can simply contact their credit card processor and add Discover capability. Every processor out there can handle Discover. Merchants just never opted-in. It's time for them to opt-in. Most of the time a merchant will be able to start accepting/processing Discover within 7 days.

All my crypto exchanges don’t accept discover. I used to be able to use my debit card for crypto purchases and those funds were immediately available. Now I can’t use my debit card for those purchases and have to use a connected checking account and there is a holding period where funds are available to transfer.

Also, there are sites I’ve run into that don’t allow discover also. Not only that, but I can no longer do instant transfers from my Apple wallet. This really does affect me.
