Discount Tire extends credit card partnership with Synchrony
An independent retailer of tires and wheels is continuing to offer flexible financing options via a branded credit card.
Discount Tire is extending a more than 25-year partnership with Synchrony to provide customers with its Discount Tire credit card. Backed by the Synchrony Car Care network, the card gives customers access to exclusive financing offers to pay for tires and service, including deferred interest promotions based on their purchase amounts and special promotions.
Other cardholder perks include no annual fee and zero-dollar liability for fraud transactions. Customers can use the card at more than 1,200 retail stores in 39 states including Discount Tire, America's Tire, Dunn Tire, Suburban Tire Auto Repair Centers, and Ellisville Tire and Service, as well as its TireRack.com direct-to-consumer platform.
"Our continued partnership with Synchrony is a testament to our shared commitment to making tire and wheel purchases easy, inviting, and safe for customers," said Christian Roe, chief revenue officer at Discount Tire. "By expanding access to financing through Synchrony's Car Care network, we're giving customers greater flexibility to manage their vehicle expenses."
In addition, cardholders have access to a number of digital payment solutions. Discount Tire is currently Synchrony's only auto retailer whose credit card can be added to Apple Wallet for seamless in-store purchases via Apple Pay.
The card is also accepted at more than one million additional locations nationwide within the Synchrony Car Care network. The Synchrony Car Care network offers a solution to pay for maintenance and repairs, as well as for parking and car rentals.
