Our Verdict
Using your Discover Debit card would make sense for any transactions under $10, as then you’d be earning over 2% cash back on your purchases. It should also be pretty easy to game this promotion (e.g purchasing Amazon gift cards for low dollar amounts or putting your groceries through one item at a time). That being said, this would probably lead to shut down if you did it excessively, so it’s probably not worth the risk.
There is also a $50 sign up bonus that you can currently get on this account.
