Discover Cash Over Purchase Benefit!!

Hi everyone!

 

I was clicking around on my Discover account page and came across this super cool benefit!  Evidently you can get up to $120 cash back over your purchase at participating places as often as every 24 hours with no monthly limit! LOL.  I only know of one other credit card that will allow cash over purchase at the regular purchase APR and that is the Walmart store card.

 

I swear Discover is getting more and more awesome by the minute!

This has always been a thing with Discover. And for some time. Nothing new here but its is cool. 

 

I've used it before. Quite convenient.

To me, still not something you should use outside of emergency purposes as it is subject to an APR, but it's a convenient feature. Wouldn't get into a habit of using it (unless you're going to pay it off and avoid the APR, of course).

Oh wow! Well I guess I am still learning Smiley Happy  I have only had my Discover a little over 3 months.  Yes, it is a really convenient feature...definitely good to know about!

I agree, definitely a proceed at your own risk type of thing, but a good option to have for sure!

Guessing the normal grace period doesn't apply?  Correct?

No, it does. Counts as a purchase and explicitly says so in Discover's T&C's. I absolutely love it. I don't carry cash or my debit card even - just have my Discover in my wallet if the need for cash arises. Smiley Happy
