Discover 'Pick a Store' bonus
« on: July 02, 2014, 09:06:31 PM »
Just got this email for my Discover card:
Quote
New! Earn More at a Store You Choose!
Sign up to earn 5% Cashback Bonus on up to $500 in purchases now through July 31, at your choice of one of these great stores.
Select ONE only to sign up instantly with just one click!

Amazon.com
Best Buy
Kohl's
And IIRC, when Amazon was part of the Discover cashback calendar, AP counted as Amazon and got the 5% bonus.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

It's the 5% rotating category one, I think it's called Discover More. You can't compare it to the when Amazon was a Freedom bonus category because AP doesn't count.

+1. This is nothing earth shattering, but it's definitely a higher value than any other card you might use to do AP.

+1. See Dan'spost about it from Q4 2013 (link). Of course you never know till you try. Unfortunately I used my AP limits on the 2 accounts I keep, which means it's time for me to figure out how to do a 3rd account.

Freedom's bonus was for amazon. Discover's was for online purchases, which included amazon, macys.com etc. so ap also was included.
