Fact checked
Unlike the The Capital One Platinum Secured Credit Card, the Discover it® Secured comes with rewards, which is rare for a secured card. You’ll earn 2% cash back on up to $1,000 spent on gas and dining each activated quarter, then 1% after that and on all other purchases. The Capital One Platinum Secured Credit Card has no rewards or welcome offer.
