Chat with Discover for $50 Bonus on $3,000 in Spend [YMMV]

The Offer

  • Discover has a targeted offer of $50 for spending $3000 within the next 30-days. Chat with them to see if they can add the offer to your account.

This is an especially good deal since right now Discover is offering 5% back on gas and ground transportation for up to $1500 in spend. Do $1500 at 5% and the other $1500 on regular purchases for a great deal.

Our Verdict

My friend E* on Demflyers posted about this offer a few days ago, and I was surprised to hear from a number of friends who were able to get the same offer added as well. Seems to be around 50% success rate from the reports I’ve heard so far (no luck for me).  Some had success on one of their accounts but not the other. Let us know if it works for you.

My apologies, I do not see an offer of that type on your account. We have received several inquiries about these offers just recently; truthfully these offers are only available at certain times and on a certain number of accounts. Feel free to check back in future!

First time chat with rep. through PC and was told no offer. After half hour, chat with rep. through iPhone and was told the offer of $1,500 speeding to get $30 bonus back. Also valid to double cash back.

it may only show up on your account if you aren’t already doing the double cash back promotion.

Between this and the Chase deal I’ll already have trouble hitting 3000 in the entire quarter, and at 50 dollars for spending an extra 1500 that’s just 3.3% cash back. Even if the bonus was doubled at the end of the calendar year that seems like too much trouble.

Only $50 for $3000 spend in one month? Not worth it for me. But I’ll probably give it a try, the $20 for $1000 mentioned above would actually be much better for me.

Think the same. Usually I will get around $600+ from a $3000 sign up off. I’d say $150 is something I’m interested since it’s not a sign up offer. Or a smaller bonus with a smaller spending. Especially manufactured spending here is growingly difficult.

Let’s see , $50 doubled to $100, plus $75 (1500 on gas station VGC) doubled to $150, plus $15 doubled to $30.

$280 for 3k spend with no pull whatsoever sounds like a good deal to me.

“Thank you so much for your patience! I can understand that you want to take advantage of this promotion; however, this offer is not available on your Discover account right now. We offer these promotional features from time to time, and they may not be available on all accounts.”

I asked, no other offers available (except the Six Flags 5%, as usual).
