The OP was right to share, but man, p!$$ on Discover. They're incredibly weaksauce, between their regular tiered CashBack, and their ridiculously capped "get mores".... why would anyone bother with them for purchases when there's Citi and Chase. I have a regular Discover Platinum but won't bother logging in for this when I have a Citi Driver's Edge giving me 6%.

Something I WILL do however, is take advantage of this flyer received this week for my Discover Business Card. $5 CashBack per purchase up to 4 between now and 12/15. I'm on a 0% BT AND purchases deal, so no sweat. Thanks for more free $ Discover.

Actually, this IS different. The normal Get More themes are quarterly. The movies and restaurants theme is from October-December. The Airlines, Cruises theme is from January to March. This Grocery Cash Back is a bonus just for the month of December - over and above the quarterly theme. I don't remember them running this last December.

I wonder if Discover takes it as grocery store or not.

Even worse, Discover always pays .25% at Wal-Mart. It is in the CashBack terms and conditions.

Important Information for Discover® Cardmembers Who Participate in a CashBack Bonus® Program

If you have a Discover Card that earns CashBack Bonus, you will earn a fixed .25% CashBack Bonus on purchases made in-store or online at select warehouse clubs or discount stores, including grocery stores affiliated with these stores, such as BJ's Wholesale Club, Costco, Sam's Club Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart Neighborhood Markets and Supermercados Amigo stores. These purchases will not be included in calculating the total amount of purchases made during your anniversary year in order to determine your up to 1% tier level. However, purchases of gas at these stores will be treated the same as all your other gas purchases.

Please note: Costco has limited Discover Card acceptance.

Also, I signed up for the offer and this is what the confirmation e-mail contained:

*Earn 5% CashBack Bonus on grocery purchases from 12/1/07 (or the date on which you sign up, whichever is later) through 12/31/07, subject to a cap of $200 in purchases. These purchases must post to your account between 12/1/07 and 12/31/07. Purchases must be made at qualifying stand-alone grocery stores or supermarkets; purchases made at convenience stores, gas stations, warehouse clubs, supercenters and discount stores are not eligible. Allow up to 5 weeks for this reward to be added to your CashBack Bonus account. You will continue to earn CashBack Bonus of up to 1% unlimited on all other purchases. Only Discover More Cardmembers are eligible to participate in this program. See CashBack Bonus Terms and Conditions for further details.

I just got a new promotion in the mail today. The terms are basically that if you spend $100 or more in a single purchase at a grocery store from Nov 1 to Dec 31, you get $10 Cash Back. I wasn't sure how this would interact with the 5% Cash Back so I called Discover up and asked them. They said you'd get both as long as you fit both conditions. So, for those that get this possibly targeted promotion, make sure you save your large grocery purchase till Dec 1. Then, spend $100 and you'll get $15 Cash Back.

Well, its only 2% above the 3% I get from Chase. So up to $4 extra.

Actually it's a little bit different since you can redeem $20 for more than $20 of certificates. If you only want the cash equivalent, then yes, it's not really worth the trouble. I redeem the Discover CashBack for GCs so this promo is more interesting to me.

Yes.
