The Offer
- $5 Cashback Bonus® for each of the first 10 purchases you make with your Discover card in Android Pay until July 31, 2017. There is no minimum spend requirement.
The Fine Print
- Targeted offer, e-mail subject line is: Earn up to $50 Cashback Bonus with Android Pay and your Discover card until July 31, 2017
Our Verdict
They have offered a bonus of up to $10 per Android Pay transaction in the past (up to the same $50 limit). Previously they offered a crazy Apple Pay deal (10% back up to $2,000), I doubt we will ever see anything quite like that again. Still an easy to earn $50 isn’t bad ($100 if you’re in the doubling period). Should appear on all of these cards:
Anywhere that accepts NFC payments should accept Android Pay.

DP: I did my 10 transactions in the 2nd half of April. Bonus cash back of $50 posted on June statement.
Me too.
When will I get the bonus? I had 10 purchases this month and yesterday my statement closed but no sign of the $50... weird :S
Here is the term "Rewards will be added to your Cashback Bonus account within four billing periods."
I had 10 transactions in April and still no sign of $50 after two statement cycles.
I'm overseas right now and never tried using Android Pay before.. but my phone DOES support it.
I got AmEx offers for Android Pay and now this Discover one.
Two quick questions for anyone who can help:
1) Any way to buy something online with Android Pay? I know, probably not.. as that contradicts what Android Pay does.. but just trying to ask for clarification.
2) Can I use Android Pay in Australia? Or is it only home in the U.S where it works?
Thanks!
I got this offer last year. NO luck this year.
It seems like the discover it card with the $150 bonus is gone for now. I clicked on the link above and nothing comes up.
Oh, well. Think it will be offered again soon? I would rather wait and get $150 than the card now with the $50 android pay.
$150 bonus hasn't been offered in a long time, $50 referral bonus (doubled at end of year one) is your best bet.
Thanks, William. I saw today that one can get $75 at Amazon as a sign up bonus on the Discovery It card.
Also, today I got a $25 credit on a $250 purchase at my local Walmart for signing up for their card. 10% off! A measly $1500 credit line, but doesn't matter.
Those offers are quite low, I'd recommend doing a bit more research and signing up for cards with bigger sign up bonuses. For example: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/best-current-credit-card-sign-bonuses/
Does this mean if I get a Discover Card, I can add the android pay app and get $5 off individual purchases up to $50? I have a wegmans grocery store nearby, so it would be simple.
Thanks, Jenny.
PS I am new here and am loving it!
Jenny, This is a "targeted" offer. That is, some EXISTING card members were offered the deal in an email and some were not. Only those existing card holders who received the email are eligible for the android pay bonus.
Lisa, thanks. I thought targeted meant they mailed out a postcard to the house. I will get a discover it card when they offer the sign on bonus again. Huntington bank sent an offer to my house for $300 to open a checking account which I did. The $$ posted quickly, and I plan to close the account very soon. The bank lady said it did not require a specific time, no penalty for closing fast.
Whole Foods works pretty good for this. Just dipped in for a $2 coffee.
If you don't normally pay with NFC, make sure Android Pay is your default and you don't accidently pay with Wells Fargo mobile wallet. >:/
I think any easy way to extract the value for users without an NFC-enabled phone (i.e. can't qualify with in-store payments) is through the Kickstarter app.
Donate $1 to projects that are already fully funded and ending soon - should net you $40 and good karma, right?
This is a pleasant surprise to go with the 3 Amex offers from a few days ago. Now I'm going to have to remember to use Android Pay 19 times.
Nothing on mine (added in Android pay already) nor my spouse discover it card :(
Hey Doc,
This may deserve its own post but I'm seeing an Amex offer that is spend $5, get $5 back using Android Pay up to three times, expiring May 3rd. Also a pretty sweet deal worth considering for those willing to unroot their devices :-)
Also: Are you supposed to have your Discover card added to Android Pay to get this offer? I've got a Discover It but haven't received anything
sorry man. ur late to the party. and no, its a targeted offer via email.
Haha yeah I was so excited to be quick on the draw on the Amex offer and then realized it was also reported on. Thanks for the clarification about the Discover offer.
