Discover 5% on Amazon in Q3 in Addition to Restaurants – Check if you were Targeted

[Originally posted 5/4/17. Reposting 6/15/17 since many more are getting the email offer now.]

Some people are being targeted on their Discover card to get 5% back on Amazon for Q3 2017 on top of the standard 5% that everyone gets at restaurants as the Q3 category. Perhaps they are targeting those who’ve been known to spend money on Amazon with their Discover card.

Sounds to me like the 5% Amazon is separate from the 5% restaurants in which case you’d be able to get the 5% on $1,500 in Amazon and another 5% on $1,500 in restaurant purchases.

Check your Discover accounts to see if you were targeted, and activate the offer. No luck for me, but check the main page, under pending activity). If you were targeted, there’ll be a box that said Click to Activate Amazon for Q3.

I got the cashback match at the end of the year notification there instead of the amazon.com 5% cash back bonus notification in that section.

Do you think that this 5% Amazon cashback Q3 bonus is targeted only to some of the folks who are no longer in the cash back match first year promo?

if you have an INK+ or INK Cash, don’t bother. just buy Amazon GCs for 5X at Staples/etc. Unless, of course, you’ve already hit your annual limit for 5x spending.

I wasn’t targeted, but Discover is one of the coolest CCC’s out there.

Both the Amazon/Chase card and Discover gave 5% to gcs and marketplace orders before. That’s nothing new.

Of Course they will include GCs, as Amazon is there in the Bonus Category any way in the Q4. But yes, you can Buy GCs for your friends and families.

I got it on my old discover, that is past the double cashback. The new one w/ double cashback wasn’t targeted. Still, nice 5% with salliemae card dead.
