Yes, Target and Walmart do not count even if they come up as grocery, but Disco wants to pay 5% on grocery purchases not 5% on almost anything (which you can buy at Target/Walmart) so I get it.
Interesting - I think you have a point. However, let's hope their powers that be never walk into a King Soopers super store.

Ehhhh... King Soopers is nowhere near the level of Target or Walmart. They are very much grocery store first and they tacked on the kitchen sink.
You won't get argument from me on that comparison. However, they're still way more than a grocery store if you can buy clothing, small appliances, furniture, office supplies, real kitchen equipment, and much more. I think you mentioned you live (or lived) in Colorado. If in the Denver area, check out the Kings at 80th & Wadsworth for one example. Or trundle down to Parker for the store that actually has booze in it. Pretty sure I saw gas grills lined up in front of that one last summer.
Marsh stores in the midwest can be the same way. Much bigger, much more non-grocery merchandise than the small Walmarts that focus more on groceries.
Definitely not Walmart/Target. But still way more than I suspect Discover think.

I think what Discover is trying to avoid is people buying expensive electronics under the guise of groceries which is exactly what I would be doing if Walmart coded as grocery because I want a PS4 Pro but I have bad luck getting consoles in the mail so I am leery about doing it on Amazon.
Get your PS4 / new laptop / cell phone in an Amazon locker nearby. It works really well, porch pirates be damned!
(To keep it on topic, Discover points are easy to use on Amazon 
)
Well I have a rave to add.
Last month my cash back match tally disappeared from my account and I figured it might have been a glitch so I waited for my statement to post today. Well it still wasn’t showing so I called and she told me that it ended in January and would be paid April 6th. Well I opened the card 3/26/18 so I pointed out that it was wrong.
She put me on hold for a few minutes while she looked into it (regularly checking in with me while she was working) and then she sent it to a supervisor to look at and the supervisor went ahead and changed the date in the system so it will calculate all of my cash back earned until 3/26 and then I will get paid 4/27. Big 👍 to Disco!
