I got an email eight days ago for an offer for $10 cash back for spending $75. Ends 3/15. So that's (10+75*0.01)/75=14.3% cashback
I got that too and dismissed it as too low but now that I see the math… plus I would use it as grocery store where Discover is 5% this quarter. Thx
Oh ya good call. (10+75*0.05)/75=18.3% cashback
I got a $25 for $250+ spend (until 03/15/23) email shortly after making a $25+ spend transaction. Not sure if they will stack for a total of $30.
How do you get these? I never get email offers from discover, ever. The amazon "targetted" ones I have to interact with a web page typically on amazon.
Note to self: Unlink Discover as payment method (for Amazon, Apple Pay, etc.) promptly after using it in order to qualify for these offers.
Got a $25 GC from Target.com w/ apple pay
Do you need to receive an email for this offer?
@guest_1362320 Yup, appears to be account-specific as there's no activation link.
Thanks!
Discover offers take ages to post.... did anyone get the 10% one from last dec yet?
It will be on your second (or something like that) billing statement after transaction. Look at the top right reward points of each statement. It won’t show anywhere else. Mine showed $9.99 even though it was supposed to be $10.
How do you set it as default? I have all these options for the card, but nowhere to set it as default. I'm assuming if it's the only cc/debit, it's automatically default?
I have apple pay but never use it because it's just easier to tap the cc compared to unlocking your phone and fumbling with an app in your phone.
@guest_1362203 FWIW my offer says nothing about making Discover your default card and I agree with @guest_1262058 that Discover has no way to confirm what card is set to Default anyhow
Drag the card to the bottom in the Wallet app. It should pop up a message that says it has been set as the default. Likely you don't have to do this to get the $5, but might as well to be safe.
I never get any Discover emails how to get them?
@guest_1362186 login to your account, go to Profile and click Manage Alerts, then make sure box for "Cardmember Offers and News" is checked
I received an email saying Google Pay but I already traded in all my android devices. Wonder if anyone knows the Apple pay works in my case.
