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.

Have not used my Discover card for long time.

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.

phlttttt I want the 4% grocery CashBack deal Discovercard had awhile back lol. Don't mean to thread crap; obviously any deal is a good deal (including this one) but boy it was nice to get sumpin' back on groceries.

Last year it was up to $3000

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.
