I've only had my Discover card about a month or so and I enjoyed the cashback on gas, but I am super stoked about the Restaurant and Movies for April through June!

Is anyone else as excited as I am? Lol!

Yes. Looks like McDonald's. As well as redbox qualifies.  Outstanding.

I might see a movie this quarter using the Discover.  And I've changed my Netflix subscription to Discover; in past years that's yielded 5% when the quarterly categories included "Movies."

Whoa. Ok, I'll try that (Discover on Netflix) starting next month. April bill just went through yesterday.

With the Freedom also offering 5% on restaurants this quarter, I'm using the Freedom instead of Discover for dining.  Freedom still gives me a 10% bonus bonus for having a checking account with them, so it works out to 5.5%.  Tiny difference, but it's there.  I know, Discover cashback can theoretically be redeemed for better than 1:1, and I usually do redeem on $50/$45 gift cards, but I still like Freedom's 5.5% better.  Also, I can make the Freedom points worth more by transferring them to my CSP.  Now come 2016 and they don't have the 10% bonus anymore and I (probably) don't have the CSP anymore, then Discover would likely get the edge.

Netflix qualifies? $_$

I wonder if hulu qualifies!

Netflix is on the list, Hulu isn't and according to my app (which may not be the end all) it looks like Hulu is categorised as a utility while Netflix is categorised as online shopping (it also gets 5% in Q4). YMMV but I hope Hulu does count.

Well, considering that Netflix is only $7.99, it's more like 40¢ per month. :/  But hey, it's still a little!

I only have empirical data to go on; last year when Discover had movies in Q1, Netflix counted for 5%, so I have every reason to expect it will count this quarter.  I will note that Netflix has *not* counted for 5% on Chase Freedom nor Citi Dividend when those cards had Movies as a category, nor did it count for utilities back when I had that category on the USBank Cash+.  The MCC reported was 05968.

So yesterday, I decided to visit a high end food establishment called popeyes since discover started 5% cash back at restaurants. I ordered food and ready to pay, gave cashier my Discover card, she swiped card and I could see the screen showed "declined" in bright red letter, so she swiped again and also declined. I started to panic and thought "what the hell! I should have 3600 available! Oh my god! Identity theft!". And a manager passing by said "we don't accept discover."
For sone reason I had sudden urge to punch the cashier in the face for making me worry like that! I didn't, but anyway she should know which card they accept!
