Using Discover Card in Europe
Does Deutsche Bahn accept Discover Card? Also, how widely accepted in Austria is Discover Card? I'm going on a trip next week, and it completely escaped my mind that I should be thinking about something so basic. I have no Visa or MC. Thanks all!

I can't answer your specific question but I would suggest you pursue it soon. I had a Discover card in France a few years ago and no one took it during our whole month there. I've been back several times and while I no longer carry that card, I don't recall seeing any Discover signs.

Agree that the card is useless. In my defense, the only reason I got it was for the 0% APR on balance transfers. I made the mistake of ditching my MP Visa, but I did sign up for a new one... of course, that was mostly for the 15k bonus.

I believe the Discover card is issued by Morgan Stanley.
Morgan Stanley issue Visa/MC cards in the UK, but not Discover. I believe the UK is the second biggest credit card market. No Discover in the UK? Then I guess you're not going to find it outside North America.
