Thanks for the info. I will be using my card for Air and Cruise during those months. Even if it's a low limit, I can still charge some of it on that card.

Just FYI, my NetFlix monthly charges show up categorized quite generically and with nothing to do with movies. IE: something like "Internet Marketing Service" charge type.

Therefore I would be very skeptical that Discover would indeed qualify such charges to receive 5% cash bank in their current GetMore promotion.

UPDATE: I checked my Citi MasterCard online account information to get the exact NetFlix merchant category, from my most recent statement (September 2007). Here is how it reads:

Merchant Name: NFI*WWW.NetFlix.COM/CC 8005858131 CA US ,000
Merchant Category: DIRECT MARKETING-CONTINUITY SUBSCRIPTION

When I last got charged by NetFlix (May '07) it showed up in the Merchandise/Retail category, the same as my current Blockbuster charges.

gyagya said:The 5% on restaurants doesn't seem to add up correctly for me. Spent 100$ at restaurants last month. Only got $2.50 as CashBack - was expecting $5.00 because of that Get More program (or whatever it's called).

Anyone else seeing this problem on the CashBack calculations by Discover?

Called yesterday. Signed up for both Restaurant/Movie (Oct-Dec) and Grocery (Dec) Get More :

• Restaurant/Movies transactions 3 days prior to Nov 11 statement close posted to Dec 11 statement instead
  
• None of my grocery Get More's posted to Dec 11 statement

Discover CSR (AZ call center) asked me to wait til next statement.

gyagya said:Same response to me too from the AZ customer service center! It all sounds very fishy... I'm not happy about having to wait 1 more cycle and remembering to call again...Will see if others have any +ve findings to report. if not, will suspend using Discover.

thanks!

I've run into the same issue when I've purchased items close to the end of the billing cycle. They won't post the 5% back until the next cycle. There has not been an instance for me when it has not posted on the next cycle (but I also track it on a spreadsheet just in case).

Thanks lhendricks92
I have updated the first page.

It looks like a copy of all the category from 2007
I guess many people miss the tuition one.

Saw this today, for the month of Feb 08 get 5% off restaurants, florists, chocolate shops, bookstores and pet stores, up to $200 ($10 of rewards)

I noticed that a restaurant meal I charged on the card on 12/31 showed up on my bill with a transaction and posting date of 1/2, conveniently too late to qualify for the Get More bonus from last quarter. I just emailed them about that. Seems strange that it would have the wrong transaction date. Anyone else have this problem? I also had my NetFlix charge get posted that day, but they really did charge it then, I just forgot to change the card I billed it to.

The lower end places I visit are chains and they all take Discover. The fancier places, which are not chains, usually do not. And acceptance of AMEX and Discover are not at all tied together from my experience.
