There must be an error then.  Seems I am getting 5% cashback on all of my purchases at gas stations the past two months.  Hopefullly they won't take back my $500 cashback I earned.

You spent 10 grand in gas in 2 months?

Exactly. I'm taxi driver and I only spend between 1500 and 2k. Each month.

The OP clearly explained the spend already.

you either did your math wrong or they did keep it uncapped. I would tell Discover that they left it uncapped or if they find out, they would lower your limit. That's what I heard.

I'd leave it be.. that way in case they find it out (which I doubt that would be the case.) it's still there for them to take back. Chances are if you don't exploit it more than you already have this nothing will come from it.

Someone told him to cash out. No way. I would add it up and fess up. They may let op keep it. Since it's clearly their mistake. Nothing wrong with saying I think mistake on my account. You gave me too much cash back. Good friend of mine got 63k in his checking account. He took out and put in his savings. It sit there. 6 months. Bank finally said we habe you some one else's money. Where is it? Thank god he still had it. Don't know if he could have been charged for thief. But this is too small I would just let them know.

Thanks everyone for your input. I think I'm going to cash out as statement credit. But still keep charging until the skinny lady say stop.

Let me ask question. In the station you use. Is everything billed as gas? Even though you go inside. That would be sweet. I would never stop shopping there.

[Fico2Go]

No. I typically fill up 50$ worth of gas each time.

Discover has this thing where the bonus cash back is delayed a month (a statement cycle) if it's within a few days of the statement cut date. I know this because I spoke with someone at Discover because my cash back wasn't adding up to what it should've been and that's what they told me. When I did the math and excluded the "bonus" spend, it added up properly. That may be what you're seeing.
