The sign up link for the Discover Card 5% Cashback Bonus is now live. You can register here if you have an eligible card like the Discover it®. You can start your Online Shopping and spending at Department Stores on October 1st, and qualifying purchases must post to your Discover Card account by December 31, 2104
Sign up to earn 5% Cashback Bonus on up to $1,500 in combined online shopping and department store purchases from 10/1/14 (or the date on which you sign up, whichever is later) through 12/31/14. Department stores are defined as: retailers selling a wide variety of merchandise, with separate checkout counters in each department. Online shopping is defined as: the purchase of goods at online merchants, and excludes: purchases made online for Government products, education providers, utilities or travel; and amounts not charged to your card during your online transaction. In addition, purchases made at warehouse clubs or discount stores and purchases made using virtual wallets or third party payment providers will not receive 5% Cashback Bonus. If a purchase is coded for a category other than listed above, it will not qualify. Online shopping at Department Stores will only earn 5% Cashback Bonus. Qualifying purchases must post to your account by 12/31/14. Rewards are added to your Cashback Bonus account within 2 billing periods. See Cashback Bonus Program Terms and Conditions for further details.
Bottom Line:
The Discover Cashback Bonus is a great program – spend $1500 in the quarter and receive $75 cash back. In years past, the definition of Online Shopping has been fairly liberal, making this 4th quarter promotion even easier, and greater than ever.
I’m happy to report Amazon Payments qualified as an online purchase last year!
I made many of my charitable contributions via paypal & my Discover card last year – they all qualified.
