We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

New Higher Sign-Up Bonus ($150) for Discover It Cash Back Card

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    Via Slickdeals, the Discover It card now has a $150 cash back bonus when you spend $750 within the 1st 3 months.  But this offer is NOT available through the main page on Discover.

    Note: Emily and I don’t get a commission for this card but we always tell you about the best offers!  And while I think there are much better Big Travel deals available, this might interest folks who prefer cash back.

    I’ll show you how to get the most from the card!

    Discover It Gives You up to $75 Each Quarter

    Link:   Discover It $150 Sign-Up Bonus

    Discover IT is a cash back card.  What I like is that you get 5% back on up to $1,500 in purchases when you register each quarter for the rotating categories.  You can get up to $75 back each quarter.

    For instance, through December 31, 2014, the Discover It earns 5% cash back on all online shopping and at department stores.

    Discover It Gives You Cash Back With No Annual Fee

    Discover It doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees so it’s good to use while abroad.  Although Discover isn’t as accepted at nearly as many places as Visa and MasterCard.

    That said, it’s 1 of the few no annual fee cards without a foreign transaction fee.  (No annual fee cards from Capital One also don’t charge you extra while shopping outside the US.)

    When I’m overseas I usually use my Chase Sapphire Preferred because it has no foreign transaction fee and earns Chase Ultimate Rewards points that can be transferred to partner airlines, hotels, or used for statement credits.  The annual fee for the Chase Sapphire Preferred is waived for the 1st year.

    Similar to the Discover It card is the Chase Freedom card.  The Chase Freedom has no annual fee and also gives you 5% back (or 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points) in rotating categories.  Currently the Freedom’s sign-up bonus is $100 after you spend $500 within the 1st 3 months.

    According to Slickdeals, this offer for the Discover It is only for folks who haven’t previously applied.

    Bottom Line

    If you haven’t previously applied for the Discover It card, you can get $150 cash back  when you spend $750 within the 1st 3 months.  The card has no annual fee and doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees.

    You can register each quarter to get up to $75 cash back in rotating categories such as online shopping, restaurants, and department stores.

    Emily and I don’t get a commission on this deal but we always tell you about the best offers!  And this is the best offer for the Discover It card that I’ve found!

    I’m more interested in cards that allow us to have Big Travel with Small Money, but Discover It is a good card for folks who prefer cash back.

    That said, the Chase Freedom is a similar card in that you can earn 5% back (or 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points) in rotating categories each quarter.
