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.

    Good news for folks with the Discover it® Cash Back card!  From October 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, you can get 5% cash back on up to $1,500 in combined purchases at Amazon, department stores, and Sam’s Club, when you activate the bonus.  But you can’t register your card just yet.

    Plus, I’ll explain how new Discover cardholders can earn up to $150 back for that spending.

    Sam’s Club Sells Electronics, Groceries, Furniture, and More! And Between October 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016, You Can Earn 5% Back at Sam’s Club With Your Discover it Cash Back card, When You Activate the Bonus!

    Here’s more about Discover’s 4th quarter bonus.

    Discover just announced the 4th quarter bonus categories for the Discover it Cash Back card.  And from October 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, you’ll earn 5% back at Amazon, Sam’s Club, and department stores, on up to $1,500 in combined purchases.

    This means you can get up to $75 cash back for ordering items on Amazon, buying groceries from Sam’s club, or even grabbing a Christmas gift for grandma at a department store! 😉

    Plus you can earn even more cash back using the Discover Deals Shopping Portal, which often pays the highest cash back!

    New Cardmembers Earn Even More

    You’ll earn a $50 sign-up bonus with the Discover it Cash Back card after making a purchase within the first 3 months of opening your account.

    And if you’re a new cardmember, Discover will automatically match all the cash back you’ve earned at the end of your first year on your credit card.  And apply the match after the first 12 consecutive billing cycles within the following 2 billing cycles.

    So you can effectively earn 10% cash back on rotating bonus categories on up to $1,500 in spending per quarter ($150 per quarter).  And the $50 sign-up bonus will be matched too!  That’s a great deal!

    For folks who already have the card, you’re eligible to get a 2nd card if you’ve had the 1st card at least 1 year.

    Is the Discover it Cash Back the Best Cash Back Card Option?

    The Discover it Cash Back card is a great no-annual-fee card for folks who like cash back.

    But I prefer the Chase Freedom card because it also has 5X rotating bonus categories, and you can use the Chase Ultimate Rewards points you earn for Big Travel instead of just cash back.

    Because if you have the Freedom card and the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus, or Ink Bold (no longer available), you can get more from your points by transferring them to travel partners.

    Through the end of 2016, you can earn 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points on up to $1,500 in spending each quarter at Costco, BJ’s, AND Sam’s Club when you activate the bonus.

    Don’t forget, if you’re new to this hobby, I recommend getting any Chase cards you want first because of Chase’s stricter approval rules.
