info based on my AOR experiences: Discover has a limit of 1 personal new credit card application every 45 days. Limit 4 Discover cards per person (personal & business). So if you have 4 cards already, it's probably better to close one of them before applying. If you don't they may offer you to close it and move CL in order to approve new card, or they can just decline your application.
My recent experience: 09/20/2008 Applied for Discover More DVD Player offer 09/22/2008 Approved (called to get the status) 09/28/2008 Received the card and made a small purchase 10/02/2008 Got an e-mail saying that my DVD player will be shipped soon. 10/02/2008 Replied to the e-mail asking if they can ship it to a different address and got a positive responce.
please post other offers. Disclaimer: This offer is not directly from discover, so YMMV, but many people reported getting free items (i.e. GPS)

It is a 9" DVD player vs. 7".
I like it because it will play Divx movies off of an SD card.

Edit: added links
I like your summary a lot more.

Thanks op, I knew of the Garmin offer, but not the Ipod one. That will come in handy.

On FatWallet, we want cash. Yeah, we could sell the nano on eBay, but then we'd still have a DISCOVER card on our credit file, which would make us look like losers to any future potential lender. Would you lend money to someone who owns a DISCOVER card?

I got this card which was applied through the link and used and paid the bill, but there is no sign of the free gift coming. Does anyone know where to contact for the gift?

Which offer did you apply for? How long ago were you approved? How long ago was the purchase made?
their T&C say that it can take 6-10 weeks after card activation, and they define card activation as making a purchase.
On offer page there are two links in the top right corner 1) check shipping status 2) Terms and Condition. after clicking scroll down to the bottom and click "contact us" link.
Please keep us posted on the outcome.

wonder when they changed to Canon A590. I ordered the card mid-July, made my first purchase around 25th or so and got notification today that they have shipped a A580.
