Discover Q1 2017 announced

[kdm31091]

Discover will be doing gas, ground transport, and wholesale clubs for the first quarter of 2017.

Apparently some originality is just too much to ask for; this is just more of the same old stuff. Not bad categories, mind you, but just meh. I will get some use out of them, but just was hoping they'd come along with something different for once.

I actually don't mind those categories.  5% back on gas is better than most other gas offers.  Do the wholesale clubs include BJs?  If so, I'll make out well as I spend about $1000/quarter at BJs and I'm still in my first year (double CB) so I'll enjoy 10% back.  What exactly does ground transport constitute?

Not a problem ... use Barclay Sallie Mae for the Gas 5%

I guess I look at it differently, I got discover because I liked the categories they had at the time, so for me, not having "originality" is a good thing

This isn't shocking. Those categories are designed to get people used to swiping that card..Almost everyone uses gas or transportation.

This why I closed my Discover, it's only up to $1,500 plus you have to watch a calender and 1 point for everything else.

I do better with CSR, Ink, FU (combo) and EDP.

Blah IMO..  Gas I spend about 40 a month on.. Others no real interest possibly ground transport for another 30-40 for uber/lyft if included.  Usually use SM for gas, but still first year so will use discover for 10% although for trivial amount overall in cats.

Lol, I spend $500 - $600 a month, most is business though.  The business part gives me a good chunk of free UR or MR points though.
