Many universities allow students to "fund" their student ID's with money so that it can be used as a credit card at places around campus. If you are graduating, you can usually load it up and request a check/refund. There is usually no "processing fees" for doing this and sometimes even bonus money added if you fund to certain levels. |

You know, if the summer promotion is for all apparel, then a know a lot of women who are going to freak out. |

My school charges a 3% premium to the tuition for credit card use....so 2% discount still good. |

That assumes that the charge for such a thing shows up as an education expense. I know for my daughter, when I funded her card it was through a separate organization than the college. |

This might have been covered already in other threads but does anyone know if I can get the full 5% "get more" CashBack when I'm only spending under my first $1500 .25% CashBack bonus on my platinum during the 1 year cycle? Thanks in advance... |

Yes, the 5% is instead of whatever you'd be getting under your current tier. Sadly, it does not count towards getting you to the next tier. |

This is Fatwallet, even if limited to $1000 in tuition a $50 bonus ain't bad. |

I've looked through all of the T&C on the site and the T&C I received with my card and I can't find anything re: the Get More purchases not counting toward tier levels. I'm curious where you got this information. |

Pay close attention to your due date, Discover Card changed from a 30 day grace period to 20 days luckily for me i have auto debit from my checking account. |

I did it last year when they were running the same promo. The university charges 2% to use a CC, so I netted 3%. |

I just put my summer tuition on my Discover for the 1% Cash Back and paid it off, it was about $1900, no problem with the charge being too much and the school accepted it with no penalty for using a CC. HTH |

More information on the July-Sept Promotion......
According to the CSR today, you'll earn 5% at Dell, Kohls, TJ Max, Office Max, plus some more places. Maximum $100 in Cash Back in the 5% tier can be earned ($500 in spending.) It is kind of a back to school theme. I believe that anything over that cap will earn the standard Cash Back bonus award.
If you are thinking about buying a computer from Dell, it may pay to wait until July. Just keep in mind that the max reward is relatively low. |

Too bad. This doesn't sound like the 5% for tuition payment last year. I hope it's the 5% for tuition, not 5% for purchase at those crap stores. |
