It's not brand new, but seems to  only appear for certain people. I signed up for it awhile ago (in the spring), even though I was 98% sure I wouldn't use it. Couldn't hurt to activate it anyway

Re: New Discover 5% Category

I would classify this as a Merchant offer rather than a category.

 

Bank of America cards have their BankAmeriDeals for one-time 5% - 15% offers with various national merchants.

Just be aware, Papa Murphy's does not take your Bank of America American Express card Smiley Sad

Re: New Discover 5% Category

I was sent this deal months ago. 

 

Didn't think it was anything new. 

 

My work already sells tickets at half price through perkspot, but buying from them probably wouldn't count as sixflags.

I bought one at less than half price using a company code. I still got the 5% off using the Discover card.

Yup, this was indeed a pretty old deal.

Speaking of BankAmerideals, now that I don't have a checking or savings with BofA, I'm interested in knowing where the cash from the BankAmerideals would go....
