Our Verdict

Hat tip to DDG
This quarter it is one of the regular categories. Is this above and beyond the regular?
Yeah, don’t know why this is a thing. There’s nothing targeted about it except that you have to activate the category, which I did back in March. If this post is about another of Discover’s cards, or stacks with the category, or extends beyond 6/30, then perhaps there is something newsworthy here.
I can now be positive that Chase Freedom’s next quarter’s category will be eateries.
I’m now certain that restaurants will be the category for Chase Freedom’s upcoming quarter.
Discover sends out targeted special offers today. I get a reminder to activate next quarter’s cash back.. when I already have. Damn you Discover 🤌
I got “Special offer: earn 5% cash back on Internet, Cable, and Phone Services”. 7/1-8/31 with 1k cap as well.
Same. I’m wondering if Google Fi will work since it doesn’t automatically track for amex
I got a targeted offer by email for 5% off Target in July and August.
Same here, I didn’t get any emails extending the 5% back at restaurants, but did get one for 5% at Target (on up to $1000 spend) from Jul-Aug.
Now I’m convinced chase freedom next quarter catagory is going be restaurants.
The current 5% quarter is already restaurants. Does it stack thru June? Does this just extend it by 2 months?
Sounds like it extends it?
Isn’t Discover 5% back on restaurants already for this quarter?
And thought discover and chase is $1500 per quarter. I wonder these of offers this stacks up with the first. So that 15%.

Wait so what does that mean I just got my first discover card last week?
it’s extra bonus cash back categories for targeted cardholders who got emails, if you didn’t get an email it doesn’t apply to you
Thanks for clarifying the detail about the email
Surprisingly I’ve only had my card 2 weeks and I got this offer (well, the slightly different one I posted above). YMMV of course
I see chase does in a similar way too thanks for explaining.
