How much do cashback offers stack on Discover?

Does the 5% cashback in Discover's rotating quarterly categories stack with the Shop Discover cashback bonuses? I was hoping to buy a laptop through HP which has a Shop Discover listing. HP also has online coupons, which are supposed to stack with Shop Discover.

Oh, I am assuming buying online from HP counts as "online shopping" for the category beginning October 1. I hope that is a safe assumption!

A CSR told me that shop discover and the cash back rotating categories are 2 seperate things. You can shop as much on shop discover and get as much cash back that way. However, you can only earn $75 cash back from rotating categories. The stacking shop disc and rotating categories sounds to good to be true dun think it works like that.

If they don't stack, I wonder which one trumps the other.

I called to confirm today.

I am getting 12% off on my new Macbook Air next Saturday only

5% online purchases

5% shopdiscover apple.com

2% Saturday only

Its true.

That combined with my brothers education discount ($50 off) my $999 laptop is going to cost $835 out the door with no tax because I'm driving from taxachusetts to tax-free NH to pick it up.

I asked the CSR: how do you guys even make money?

He just laughed.

So, here's a follow-up. The Saturday one says that that's only valid if the transaction posts on that day. How can anyone be sure when it will post? I usually see them sitting for a day or two at the very least.

It just needs to post AKA show up on your account. Trust me, they wouldn't make you guess the settlement date for pending transactions. It's Discover, not First Premier.

You are skeptical and so was I. We are so used to the usually dissapointing outcome of too-good-to-be-true scenarios that when one does come along you don't capitalize on it.

Don't miss this.

Good job OP on the discounts! I bet the CSR laughed his ass off, I bet.

I'm not OP but he did laugh pretty hard. I don't even need a macbook but when I combined the 12%+$50 off with 0% for 15 months I suddenly couldn't afford NOT to buy it. So it got me to spend their money I suppose. Only problem is I won't be late or default on payments so their capitlistically-perverted plan to put me through usurious financial hardship that they can profit from is officially foiled.
