You Don't want to cancel Discover....Save it for later

hmm yeh thanks.. well i think ill get rid of one of my other cards then

card came in a few days bideaway.. there are also some additional discounts when shopping through their own store portal

their shopdiscover portal is great, the savings are usually a bit above fat cash. Always check there when you are buying stuff online.

Any estimate on the CashBack bonus? I mean I don't usually use Discover so not sure how it is distributed, is it a quarterly credit or once a year?

I thought they killed the %5 on gas late last year...

5% on gas is back July-September 2008 through the Get More program according to the Discover web site. Monthly caps apply.

While this doesn't specifically relate to the $100 bonus, Discover More card has changed the way they calculate CashBack, and of course it is not for the better.

from the FAQ's at website:

As a Discover More Cardmember, you get CashBack Bonus for every Discover Card purchase you make. You'll get a CashBack Bonus of:

* 0.25% if the purchase is part of your first $1,500 in total annual purchases
* 0.50% if the purchase is part of your second $1,500 in total annual purchases
* 1.0% if the purchase is part of your total purchases in excess of $3,000

You now only get 1% when total spending exceeds $3K unless you go through ShopDiscover or the special 5% bonus program.

hebrewbacon said:It sounds like this is a good auxiliary card to have just to get the $100 reward and 5% bonuses throughout the year. My question is whether you experienced FWers think I would qualify for the card, since I've only just recently begun building my credit, and I'm a college student. I've had a Citi Dividends Platinum for six months, never had a late payment, and was given a $1500 line of credit. Also, my credit score on CreditKarma is currently 684. Is it worth applying? I don't expect to be pulling out loans soon, so a small dip in my credit score doesn't matter. I just want to know if it's worth a shot.

Someone else may be more knowledgeable about this but I believe Discover is a fairly easy card to get.

Same code in the newspaper last weekend. Is there some way to make money off the 3.9 APR until 2012 that I'm missing?

Verified with a Discover rep via their Chat utility on their website. This deal is definitely still working. Thanks Chimeer!

My Sunday paper insert had an even better offer: $100 CashBack Bonus after you spend $250. Fine print: approved by 8/18/08, three months to spend the required minimum. (One tank of gas a month ought to be all it takes ) I think all the other details are the same.
The invitation code is DARQ.

Doh! Figures I just applied for the $100 back after $500 and $100 back after $1000 biz.

To answer the previous posters question. I think you can reapply for discover after 6 months.
