Discover Doubles Cash Bonus for 12 Month

Anonymous — Sat, 30 May 2015 20:32:45 GMT

Hello to the esteemed members of the forum. Have been on and off the forum but have yet to contribute.

Anyway, just got off the phone with Discover CS. Sign up starts on June 1st and they will double all cashback including Shop DIscover for 12 month! (5% categories turn to 10%, Shop Discover goes from 1% to 2% etc.) The first statement does not count, so if your statement cuts on June 10, your double rewards will start June 11th.

This, along with the recent CLIs that Discover has been offering has just made it my favorite card in my wallet!

Registration is available online or over the phone: starting June 1st!

Is this a targeted offer or is everyone elegible?

I'm wondering if it's only for new cards starting June 1.

Woah, so this effectively makes this a 2% card with 10% bonus categories over the next year?

No, I have had the card for over a year. Called in and requested the promotion. The nice lady in Ohio went over all the details that I mentioned and said to either call or go online on June 1st. Does not seem to be restricted to new members

I'm going to need some photographic evidence first before I squeal with delight.

I'm thinking this is the case, just to promote new sign ups. If not, it'll become my preferred card for a while.

Can't give you any photographic evidence, but if you have a minute you can contact Discover CS and they will walk you through it. They are very well aware of the promotion. I believe you can "squeal away with delight"

I can't find any info online, Googled and went to discover.com.

Does this mean I'd need to apply before June 1? I don't currently have a Discover, but have a promo mailer for $150 signup.

I'm definitely in if this is the case.

So, the July-Sept 5% will now be 10%. Not much that will excite me anyway next quarter, although I guess if I go to Lowes I'll use the Discover card since Lowes won't give me their own card since I cancelled their worthless $500 limit one I never used back when I didn't have a pot to p&^* in. I'm guessing that will be under Home Improvement.

From what the CS has explained you can begin to sign up on June 1st. So if you do not have the card you have to apply, get approved, receive it, then sign up and wait one billing cycle before you can use the Double Cash promotion. Hopefully it's 12 billing cycles regardless of when you sign up, as in your case it could be a week or two.

Hope that helps.

Just spoke with a CS rep: All customers can sign up June 1st but the "double cashabck" won't kick in until after your first cycle closes. For me, my statement cuts on the 25th, so June 26 is the first day for me. Also, you will get your regular cashback bonus through the 12 months, on the 13th statement you will receive the credit for the double promotion.

Fine by me. I can wait. Perhaps, this explains why they have been doling out the generous CLIs.

This is good news! My statement cuts on the 19th so I got you by about a week. So next June will be nice when the reward from this next 12 months kicks in.

I guess another thought here would be to change the dates on your Discover card so it closes earlier in the month of June if you want to try to take advantage earlier than your current close date.

Wow, I have always liked Discover but they continue to surprise me. My statement cuts on the 4th so I will let everyone know how things go. Just bought some DiscoverDeals at 10% off, guess I'll return them and buy them back at 20% off haha.

Great news! Does the 2% count toward everyday purchases, or just Shop Discover? Oh boy, the hubs and I order from Amazon all. The. Time. Like we get 2-3 packages a week. This is going to be really good for us.
