Our Verdict
I got an email with this offer and reader DE sent it in as well, not sure how widely this was sent out. No minimum purchase is mentioned, easy win with three small purchases.
I also thought i didn’t get it. Turns out it’s credited as rewards, not SC. Coded as “Everywhere Else” on my pdf stmt. AFAIK you can’t view your rewards earnings online, just redemptions.
I’ve made two contactless payments so far. Is there someplace in my account where I can confirm that Discover has recorded that? I can’t find anything. Not a huge deal, but I made the (admittedly minor) effort of tapping my card on two different purchases–ones where I could otherwise have used a digital wallet for the 5% cash back this quarter from the same credit card–and it would be nice to have some confirmation that I’m actually making progress towards this admittedly small bonus.
Wondering if it includes debit card on their checking account…
I had this offer in… September? Used the contactless chip on my card 3 times, and… so far, no credit.
I received this credit last week and had no idea what it was for. Couldn’t find any emails about it.
Tip: make five $0.39 purchases and don’t use the card for anything else. Discover will write off the balance. Free bonus.
It’s actually three that’s required, not five. I fixed the title now.
Throughout 15+ years of Discover card ownership I have received only 1 offer from them ever. Never received any other email offer, mail offer or chat offer.
But they never forget to send me weekly “congratulations, I’m eligible to identity protection for $15 a month” offer non-stop.
Can’t say if my number is the same, but I know it’s similar because I’m always hopeful when I see these posts and always disappointed when I search my inbox because I never see these offers sent to me.
Same here. I only get targeted for Discover balance transfer and personal loan offers, which are useless to me.
Mine says three times
Even the screenshot above says three times, maybe a typo when this post was created?
Would the contactless need you to use the actual card or any sort of contactless to stack with the 5% digital wallets (i.e. google pay is contactless but i doubt it would count as contactless discover)
Quote from Discover terms (the fineprint that nobody reads down in the email)
Quote
“Only purchases made using the contactless (“Tap and Pay”) feature on your physical card (used by hovering your card near the reader for 2-3 seconds until a confirmation appears) at contactless enabled terminals are eligible for this promotion; this does not include digital wallet transactions. ”
