Nice Discover credit card offer in the Sunday paper

If you are into credit card rewards and special promotions, you will find this interesting! On the front page of the Smart Source coupon book Discover is promoting their Cashback Bonus card. It features the following exciting features:

  • special $60 Cashback Bonus when you make your first $500 in purchases (that's like a 12% reward on the $500!),
  • 0% intro APR on purchases until April 2008 and balance transfers until October 2008
  • 5% cashback bonus when you make purchases in the Get More categories that change four times a year (on a quarterly basis). A number of popular categories are included. For example this quarter the special is travel and gas, while next quarter is restaurants and movies and movie rentals.
  • Up to 1% cashback bonus on all other purchases, using the standard Discover tiered system starting at 0.25% (boo!)
  • But wait, there's more! If you buy online starting from the Shop Discover website when you log onto your Discover account, you can get an additional bonus of 5% to 20% from a list of participating retailers. This is probably the most generous program in terms of percentages as it features a number of webpages of big chain stores at a flat 5% rate, while smaller and more specialized stores earn 10%, and some even 20%! This is nice and very competitive if you compare it to Fat Wallet or Citi Bonus Cash Center or Chase Rewards Plus.
  • This concludes this message :) And remember, please use credit responsibly!
