Discover 5% Cashback Categories Q2

Hello everyone,  Discover's Q2 categories for 5% cashback bonus include: Gas Stations, Uber, Lyft and Wholesale Clubs. My question is what merchants do you know that are classified as "Wholesale Clubs" besides COSTCO and Sam's Club? A quick Google search tells me Sam's Club does accept Discover, but I don't have a membership there. 

 

I have a feeling I'm not going to generate a lot of bonus this quarter but I'll make up for it in Q3 (Restaurants and PayPal). Smiley Wink

I just signed up for Sam's club to have more options for shopping with everything going on. But the gas quarter is my favorite.

 

As far as other wholesale clubs, I'm not sure other than Costco and Sam's

I barely get enough use out of my Costco membership because I just shop for one person (and two cats, ha!). Can't use most Costco fuel stations because I drive a diesel - only one warehouse in my city carries diesel. 🙄I'm curious if Smart and Final is categorized as "wholesale club"? 

 

The gas station quarter miiight do me well, if I can find a reasonably priced station that accepts Discover AND carries diesel. The two places I typically go to only accept debit!!!

Re: Discover 5% Cashback Categories Q2

lol funny the timing of this post, just ordered some food on Eats, i realized prior quarters changed so upon checking found Uber n Lyft in Disco's rotation so i figured why not try and see if 5% is "applicable" on a Eats order and i'd say odds are pretty good tbh. Seeing it classifies as an "UBER TRIP", will update in a couple days when Disco updates the 5% tracker. Also not sure it matters any but order was made in Florida on Apple Pay Smiley Very Happy

I doubt it, I read the fine print on the Discover website and it says only "rides" count. My guess it that it will fall under "1% on everything else" so even with my double bonus for in my first year I'll only get 2% on it - I'm gonna stick to Apple Card for Uber Eats.

I had to Google this because I'm only familiar with BJ's restaurants. That wholesale club seems to be in Ohio - a bit too far to make it practical for me in SoCal. Thanks for the insight! Smiley Happy
