DIscover and emails...
other than bills normal account maintenence related emails can be slow/lagged... For instance CLIs and such... it usually takes effect before you get the email.... unsecuring.. you can see it on your account before you get the email in 4-5 days... You will get the email but its usually takes a few days...

Dont blame you....the card feels great in hand, nice brushed feel to it. I know everyone raves about the packaging, but mine was a real plain white cardboard folder case. Not at all like the other ones Discover had in years past. Not a big deal of course.

Aww dang! I was looking forward to this fancy packaging that would contain the long awaited card. 
Would you mind taking the time to explain how the rotating catergories cash back works? Do I have to enroll in the cash back feature before I start earning or are my purchases at the grocery store/gas station automatically applied? I thought I read where someone was upset because they had to enroll in something before they earned the cash back for their purchases. I don't want to mess up my first year double cash back perk.

It did not go to spam, there was NO email. The day I got my card in the mail, we got an email saying 3-5 days for the card to arrive... and it arrived an hour later. Very odd set up lol
This thread is taking a rather humorous turn with everyone sharing their experience with Discover.

Yeah you have to enroll for each quarter. It's not like it's hidden or anything you just have to do it. You usually can activate next quarter's category about 3 months in advance. When you activate the card and log in to your account you'll find 5% cashsback page click activate and you're done for the quarter.

Thanks! Sounds do-able. I'll just set my calendar for reminders.
