Yep Discover most definitely isn't giftcard shy. Otherwise I would've received some pretty nasty mailers regarding my $500+ "grocery" shopping trips LOL
The only caveat I'll throw in is sometimes Discover offers some pretty good deals through their Discover Deals portal, but those deals almost always come with a "...excluding gift cards" verbiage in the fine print.
After a year of suffering with a never growing originally secured Disco, i now have a second IT with a 2500SL and 0% with CB match again. Hopefully this card will grow. It finally showed up on my acct today, now i just have to get the card 
Lol, I understand the Disco dilema and all the recommendations. The funny thing is it, haha no pun intended, still is a good suggestion for many because it is a prime card, is a better alternative to the Credit Ones or First Premiers, I'd even argue C1, and for thinner files or those coming out of bk, they have better shots at those wacky huge approvals from Discover. Dcb is really nice for any limit and getting it twice is sweet

I give up this company is bi-polar... No way in heck will I carry a balance with them just to get a CLI as much better lenders/limits.. Just sooooo frustrating how Discover mindset works. I literally give up card will be burned when I cash in my double cash tomorrow.. Least I made 400+ off them for the year I suppose. SMH...

It's an open secret that Discover's target demographic is what they call "prime revolvers" (that term always makes me lol and then roll my eyes some). So my theory is for those with thick and aged files, the computer automatically flags them as being unprofitable, and they get thrown into the bottom bin.
But yeah likewise I've already made $327 off of them, and I definitely intend to push that beyond $400+ before my CB match in Dec for a nice Christmas bonus. After that I'll probably only use it to buy gift cards when profitable and leave it at that. At some point in the distant future (2-3 years from now) I may decide to get a second It if they're still offering CB match. Otherwise that's the end of the road for me.
