WTH is Dinning on Discover/Freedom this year?

Where is dining on the Discover/Freedom this year at? Are they just skipping it as it is to costly for them as more people use that cat and tend to max it? Thoughts? Doubt we will see it in 3rd or 4th quarter, but i could be wrong..

When I still had the Discover I found it useless anyway. Roughly 50% of restaurants I went to didn't take Discover.

Between Freedom/Discover 99% would take one or the other or both.. Just depends where you live, but surely most take Visa and I would venture to say most nice places take Discover as well.. Only places I have found that don't take Amex or Discover are usually cheap fast food places that one is better off not eating at for health reasons. Is that real chicken or parts to make a chicken sandwich sir?

My experience is different. Discover was rejected at multiple expensive restaurants in NYC and San Francisco. They were happy to take Amex.

Odd, I eat out a lot in NYC and never have had an issue with discover.

Wasn't dining Q3 last year on Freedom? I'm just happy to get away from this gas station stuff and on to something else. I only drive 15 miles a day and my wife won't use her Freedom to get gas since she has a gas card.

We're still in Q1, no hurry.

btw. I feel that citi forward change(always 5% for restaurants -> 2%) could make chase/discover less motivated to give 5% back for restaurants.

Last year dining was 3rd quarter on Freedom. And Discover had Home Improvement in 3rd quarter 2016, which is 2nd quarter this year, so I assume dining will be 3rd quarter this year there as well.
