    Plus I thought the limit was ~$1,200. It is better than nothing but that wouldn't cover most tuition bills.

    America's #1 Cash Rewards Program!*

    * Full 5% CashBack Bonus on Get More purchases in popular categories throughout the year
    * Up to 1% CashBack Bonus on all other purchases
    * Unlimited cash rewards that never expire

    Plus, there is a student version of the credit card.

    If your school will allow partial payments(a lot of schools have payment plans where they stretch the payments over the entire year), you can charge as much as you can, pay it off, charge as much as you can again, etc
    1) go to www.discovercard.com
    2) click on the bottom right hand corner on the "Get More" square

    Take care of your car and get 5% CashBack Bonus on up to $1,000 in gas and automotive purchases through June 30, 2006.

    So it is NOT unlimited.

    From their site

    From Platinum card information
    "With our Get More Program, you can sign up to earn 5% CashBack Bonus on purchases made at select merchants or in certain merchant categories throughout the year."

    "Other restrictions apply. You will receive complete CashBack Bonus Terms and Conditions with your Card."

    That doesn't help a whole lot. Anybody who has the card, what does the CashBack bonus terms say?

    I fixed my post so you can go there through navigation. You are posting about the general Platinum Discovercard purchases, NOT the "Get More" program.

    I DO have the card and there IS a limit and I'm quoting directly from the website, I don't know why you discount my post.

    5% off tuition would be super-hot.

    I see. You are right, it would be too good to be true for it to be unlimited CashBack

    In the other discover post, the CashBack limit on Jan-Mar 06 purchases was $1.5k, 1k for Apr-June. Any idea of the limit for Jul-Sept?

    Looks like to utilize the program to it's full advantage, we would need several cards.

    I was able to get 5% back on tuition payments before the college turned to a 3rd party processor that put a stop to it.
