Sure, we’ve all heard of the Grocery Shrink Ray, but gradually shrinking consumer products doesn’t just apply to physical items. Warranties can shrink, and the services that you receive as part of an account or a subscription can shrink too. Readers are reporting that their Discover card benefits will shrink as of next week, so we have bad news if you were very attached to Discover’s travel insurance, baggage delay insurance, and roadside assistance.
If you’ve never used any of these benefits, then it won’t make much of a difference in your life. Tipster David is kind of bemused at the e-mail that the company sent out to announce the changes, though.
He points out that there’s a strange disconnect between the message opening of “At Discover, we want you to be happy,” and removing some benefits.
