Discover Get More 5% bonus categories from October 1 to December 31

This is of interest to Discover Card members participating in the Get More program. The Q4 Get More program has been announced and you can sign up for it right now at the Discover website or by calling their customer service. This does not invalidate your current promotion (Q3, Gas/Travel) but it simply means that you can start earning the new Get More rewards right away on October 1.

So what are the special categories for Q4? (October 1st through December 31st): 5% cashback on movies, movie rentals, online movie rentals, and restaurants all of types. Be it fast food or candle-light fine dining or the tiny cafe at the corner. As long as they are registered with Discover as a restaurant of some sort. More specifically according to Discover: "classify as full service restaurants, cafes, cafeterias and fast food locations".

However, there is a cap to this reward, only the first $400 in purchase in these categories will earn the 5% reward :-( The rest will earn rewards at your usual rate which is usually 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% or 1%. So if you max out, you will earn $20 Cashback Bonus dollars!

Not to be confused with Shop Discover
This of course is separate from the Shop Discover program which gets you cashback rewards by visiting retailers and making purchases through the Shop Discover shopping portal. This program is valid all year round. This has some of the most generous percentage among the big box retailers, for example this big name retailer websites earn you a flat 5% such as CircuitCity.com, Crutchfield, Bloomingdales, Toshiba Direct ($50 if you buy a $1000 laptop!), Target, Tiger Direct, Sears, Office max, Macy's, Kohls (yes Kohls!), Lucky Brand Jeans and tons more!
