Chase Freedom and Discover IT have the SAME 5% cash back categories in Q2???

[BigSnacks]

Are you joking?  Why in the F do Chase Freedom and Discover IT both have the same 5% cash back category in Q2 of 2015?  Are you really telling me these idiots cant coordinate bonus categories so this exact scenario doesnt happen?

Maybe they did coordinate and that's why both are the same.

All the better for the big spender in all of us.

Discover bumped our Bonus categories to 7% for the year...

Guess what's getting used for dinner starting April 1st!

Since I'm particularly fond of the Restaurants category, I don't mind. Plus, Discover has 5% on movies while the Freedom has 5% on H&M, Overstock, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

Why did they bump your cashback to 7%?

They said something about being the elite of the elite.

Actually...They just offered it when asking for lower APR.

Do you mind if I ask if you carry a balance?  Can anyone ask for the 7% cashback?

Took advantage of a 18mo 1% fee offer last year.

That is just on categories though.

2% on all general spend.
