>>>Yes, they own Discover.

That's what I thought. CheckFree signed deals with both First USA and Sears Credit Services in July, although there was no press release. In any case, Discover (Sears), would probably not use TransPoint anyway, because they recently just moved from FDC to TSYS because of service level issues. Based on all the facts, I would have to bet Discover will be working with CheckFree (if they aren't already) for bill presentment.

micny:

The Discover card is owned by the Morgan Stanley/Dean Witter corporation.

From Sears most recent 10K:

Sears stores also accept third party credit and debit cards such as
VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card.
