yeah, that was surprising. Does Discover exist in markets outside the US?
I've used Discover in Japan, England and Argentina. The logos outside of the US sometimes show both Diners and Discover together so maybe that's what "a network of 305 million cardholders" means (not 305 million Discover card accounts, but a combination of Discover in the US and Diners elsewhere).
