10/25/2009 UPDATE: We did as above. It worked like a charm. Using our Discover-Cards, I bought one and Mom bought one. With the right coupon from previous promotions, we fed both of us for $6.94 including my drink. Net $3.06 profit before gas and $2.50 in Discover Card cc rebates made it a better deal. Oh ... and they fed my nephew for free too. (red plate and drink)
JW said: Don't forget to use your Discover Card AFTER you register for the "Get More" promotion on DC's website or CS phone number. That's 5% CC rebate! ($1.25)
Beware of the Discover 5% promotions. They have nasty limitations: they might say "limited to $400", but that is not the CashBack - that is the purchase totals, so in fact you will reach your limit very quickly.
and on a side note:I wonder if you can use a gift card to buy a gift card - that would be like printing your own money...
Your point on the 400.00 maximum purchases in restaurant, grocery, and movies in the 4th quarter is very valid.
Discovercard web site: said: Earn 5% CashBack Bonus on up to $400 in purchases, from October through December...
I know my store is very customer oriented, but I seriously doubt you can compound it by purchasing a GC with a GC. The GC program does have restrictions which I cannot pull up on the BM website.

Where did you find the "Get More" program on Discover Card website?
The "Get More" promotions are under REWARDS. I specified that phrase as that is what my web page calls it when I am signed into my account. When you sign in to your account, you should see REWARDS. When you click that, you should see a 5% logo like the one on the linked web page below:
IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT DISCOVERCARD, YOUR REWARDS (gas/air travel, etc) PROGRAM MAY BE DIFFERENT. If that is the case, you would not collect the 5% that I referred to.
We did it AGAIN !! That's twice in three days! Mom and I individually used our Discover Cards to purchase the $25.00 GCs w/the free $5.00 coupon. We then purchased three family meals separately with a coupon on each. We paid for two family meals with the CGs just purchased and had change left over on one of them. We had then had a total of 4 of the $5.00 coupons. (two tonight plus two earlier) We ordered the third family meal with the free extra chicken coupon from the $1.00 charity coupon book. We paid for the meal with the 4 $5.00 coupons paying the balance with the $25 GC.
