Remember people, Discover will not fight for you on any wrongful charges or purchase issues. So if some internet store screws you, you're on your own- no charge backs, no investigations , no nothing... Something to consider in general, but especially with a program such as this.
Not for me. A shady online bookstore mysteriously charged me $10 a couple months back. I called up Discover, they credited me back the amount instantly, and they investigated it. Granted, it was only 10 bucks and they never did tell me the outcome of the investigation, but I didn't care and didn't feel like calling back since there was no permanent harm done.

I don't think so. Any online merchant is OK. The fine prints did not mention anything about their online partners or need to go through their links. This is not the 10% Staples.com thing that you have to link from discovercard.com

But please notice, online shopping only. Still good, thanks.

Thanks!

I dont see how any credit card would make business if they didn't offer some sorta no fraud liability and such with the amount of fraud going on these days its almost a staple, I remember when VISA first started it.


*Discover Platinum Gas, Home Improvement, Restaurant and Education Cardmembers, certain Gold Cardmembers and Miles Cardmembers are not eligible to participate in this promotion.

For those you who cant get it ;pJust a couple months ago, I had an issue with a company-"Great Fun", which was charging me for a monthy "membership" without my knowledge. Discover basically told me to go take a flying f@#$. I refuse to use them now. I got scammed not only by some stupid shopping scam company that I didn't authorize and Discover refused to help... screwed both ways.

The key word in sieglerc's post was "extra".
Actually, if you are not up to the 1% level yet, it's much closer to an extra $25.

me too getting this...
You are not eligible to participate in the Get More Program.

billrubin said:demingy said:Just signed up--this is awesome because I'll be getting 5% back on eating out (from this promo) AND online purchases for a little less than a week. I love it when they overlap.
Why? Do you intend to do some online dining to double the reward??

Nope, just happy to be able to get 5% on dining and 5% on online shopping--both items that I don't get 5% back from any of my other cards.


Ooo, forgot to add that I found that refilling my Starbucks card online has counted for restaurants. If it also counts for online purchases, then it looks like I'll be able to extend the 5% through the end of the year (I doubt they would double up the Cash Back during the overlap, so that isn't what I'm saying at all).

Okay, sorry to go OT.

I called their 800 number since I knew that I wasn't eligible (Platinum Gas Card). I was offered the usual $5 back on any $100 purchase made by the end of December. Strange thing was that the CSR said she also signed me up for the 5% off Restaurant purchases made by the end of November. I had tried to sign up for this offer when it first came out and was told that my card was not eligible. Strange.

completely false, dont post this BS and mislead readers just bc you dont know how to handle a cc dispute. you have the same dispute rights with discover as with any other cc issuer. YOU had bad experience, dont make it appear as if they have different policies than other ccs

where do you come up with this info??

I had a bad experience with Discover card about a year ago for some fraudulent activity on my credit card made with an online vendor. I was out $2100 for 8 months and had to call Discover card fraud center multiple times before I got any help. I actually had one of my friends (an attorney call on my behalf) until they would even investigate. I certainly will not use Discover card for any online puchases. In fact, I do not own a discover card anymore after my bad experience (I had a card for about 7 years prior to cancelling). Just thought I chime in with my expereince about Discover's lack of help when disputing fraud.
