Discover has sent out e-mails to cardholders informing them that on October 31st, 2018 the Discover Deals program will e-mail. E-mail reads as follows:
We’ve decided to retire Discover Deals as we focus on simpler and more meaningful ways to earn rewards. Any pending rewards will be added to your account as usual.
Thank you for your loyalty. Keep an eye out for exiting things to come and don’t forget, you’re always earning rewards on every purchase with your Discover card.
For those not familiar, Discover Deals is Discover’s version of a shopping portal.
Hat tip to readers Jamaicantraveller & Andrew M
Very disappointing! Used Discover for years, because of their Discover Deals program. Time to find another card.
I’m looking on the bright side and hoping they replace it with something better.
+1
Earning kohl’s cash through discover deals was a winner for me until they changed it to a basic coupon and then as of late seems to have gone away.
Don’t worry guys, they have some “EXITING” things to come.
Oh the irony of their misspelling.
Rats! I always used their portal when shopping at Walmart and Groupon. A little surprised they didn’t keep it at least till Christmas.
A couple years ago, this saved me about $300 on a laptop using a 10% Samsung offer and double first-year cash back. Recently, they haven’t had any offers worth doing.
Kind of confused, does this mean the ‘exchange $45 of cash back for a $50 GC at certain merchant’ thing is also going away or is that separate from the portal?
No, what you are referring to is redemption of cashback bonus for gift cards. They are retiring a program that was like AmEx Offers, where you get additional cash back fro shopping with certain merchants.
Thanks!
well that sucks… they have 5% off walmart.com which is 10% off 1st year
I hope they don’t end their gift card redemption. I keep cashback bonus in there just for LL Bean gift cards at 20% off.
Wow, another benefit cut, have they even added anything?
