I was able to purchase some dress shoes from Shoes.com in conjuction with Discover's website. I got 15% cashback and free shipping. Discover emailed me yesterday confirming the amount of cashback I earned. Plus, I googled shoes.com discount codes and got an additional 10% off. You can't get that at a mall. I saved time and money. The shoes will be here tomorrow. I just hope I can fit them!! I now have $25.00 cashback total. Soon as my statement cut, I'll be requesting a giftcard. Having good credit is the best no doubt about it. Cash is not king!!
welcome to world of discover cashback
Shoes.com always has coupons for at least 20%. Plus, your cashback can be canceled if you use a coupon in conjunction with it (read their terms). You can almost always find a better deal than the one on shopdiscover

That doesn't make sense. Discover has no way knowing I got a discount directly from Shoes.com and most likely don't care. Plus, I did not find what you said listed in the terms and agreements. If you can post the alleged cancellation of cashback terms please post.
Ferrari is correct - and I have confirmed this with several Discover CSRs in the past when I wanted to make sure.
That condition is right on the face of the shoes.com link on Discover's shopping portal. Click on the shoes.com icon, and you will see a bulleted list of items, including "Offer is not valid in combination with any other offers".
One way to get around this - buy partner gift cards from Discover, then use them when a retailer offers a better discount than Discover's site does. For example, I'll redeem $85 cash rewards for a $100 gift card from one of my favorite retailers. Each year, said retailer offers a 20% discount on purchases around Christmas. So I save up my partner cards to make a big purchase at that time, and save a significant amount.
I don't see partner gift cards for shoes.com listed, but Discover is always adding retailers, so check back often.
I'm confused. My discount that I found through google was applied to my order before payment. When my charge posted to my Discover account, I received an email from Discover confirming my extra cashback reward.
Discount from shoes.com ($4.20)

I always use coupons in conjunction with shopdiscover. They don't really care, maybe only 1 out of 10 times did they detect I was using a coupon and voided the CB. I remember receiving a $50 CB by purchasing a laptop from microsoft store through shopdiscover. After the statement cut, I returned the laptop(not on purpose, just cuz it didn't fit my needs). The $50 CB was still in my account 2 months after I returned the laptop, so I ordered 2 gift cards and cashed it out.

Wow! Atleast you waited 2 months. I can't wait until my statement cut to order my giftcard.
I had a similar experience: I paid using a Visa but received the cashback.
