ShopDiscover - Non Discover card?
« on: February 25, 2012, 02:30:13 PM »
Anyone have experience if using a non-Discover card on ShopDiscover will still give the cb? Similar to Chase and the UR program.

BTW does the Chase UR with a different CC always work, or is it YMMV?

I don't have an answer to your question,  but I'm just wondering - do they have any really good deals going now?
(If yes, maybe I would TOFTT.)

There is an entire thread  discussing your question.  There are many data points in that thread.

Unsure if there is anything too special, but they had the best choice to officedepot, 5% while UR was at 3cpm (somewhat similar)

Shopdiscover is usually pretty good compared to the other cash sites, but can't beat the points malls IMHO.

Typically, but they always have some unique values

Update?
Have received cash back about 90% of the time using other cards. Last time I used SD was about nine months ago.

Thanx. Any specific stores that didn't work?

Also, is there a different portal that is better than SD that I should be using? 
(I mostly shop through UR mall but I'd like to try CB for a little bit )

There is a new cb portal brought over from england that doesnt take any profit margin so they offer very good rates.
They make their money from advertising on their site.
I cant name it though due to forum rules

Do they claim their cash back is "unbeatable"?

I have been using shopDiscover for many of my purchases using any of my credit cards and I received cash back on everything, but this month a weird thing happened and I wonder if it means they caught on:

A few days after my rather large purchases I got the email "You earned bonus cashback from discover" and it listed the correct full amount of cashback $649.00 on one card and another emall from another discover card for the full amount of $849.50, but a week later I got another email for each card "you earned cash back from discover" and it said $64.90 and $84.95 - which is the wrong amounts.

I am wondering if somehow their system caught on and thought it made a mistake that added an extra since my credit limit is $3k on each card so I couldn't of have earned that.... anyone else get similar emails?

Im hoping it just a glitch that will be awarding me the extra $65 and $85 on top of the correct amounts...
It is all from Hashem and he will continue to give!

wow, you're spending a lot to get those types of amts.
Is it all 'real' stuff, or are you playing games? Also, why specifically the Discover mall?

Yes all legit purchases, they have 5% where others give 1%.

True that
I've seen that their rates are often at the top of the market. Problem is, I usually have to reach min spends on other cards, and don't want to risk not receiving the cb.
