[Targeted] Discover Offering Cashback Match Program To Existing Users

A reader  let me know they received the following mail out from Discover:

discover-card

It seems that this is targeted towards people that are having their card replaced automatically (due to either getting an EMV chip compatible card or their old card simply expiring). Cash back match basically means that after one year you receive the amount of rewards you received in the previous year again (e.g making it so 5% categories actually earn 10%. 5% now and another 5% at the end of the cash back match period).

Might be worth seeing if you can call in and get this promotion added to any Discover cards that haven’t had this promotion before, let me know if that works in the comments.

What about the cashback through the discover portal, is that doubled too?

Yeah, I do believe so!! When I had double on my IT card, I bought something from Apple via the portal and had it doubled.

Contacted discover via chat. Not eligible. Was offered 0 APR for 12 months. Useless for me

Tried via email and live chat. Explained I’ve had my discover It since before they offered the double cash promotion. Live chat said I wasn’t eligible but offered me the 0% Apr offer.

Any way to view the offers on your account online? I threw out my statements.

My dad got this a year ago. I don’t know if you have DPs to suggest otherwise, but my understanding is you get this only if you are technically being product changed.

My dad had a Discover (more?) card that he hadn’t used in a years. The letter ‘product changed’ him to the IT and that is considered a ‘new account’ to be eligble for the match.

Way back when this offer was first available I called Discover and said “hey thats not fair” and they gave me, an existing customer for a few years, the cashback doubler for a year.

I got this offer on a sock drawered Open Road account. First they replaced it with a Discover Chrome but I didn’t like the features. I called and asked for pc to Discover IT since it was a ten year old card. They agreed and sent me DiscIT card. I was informed of the cashback match plus all my referrals will also be doubled.

I’m using my Disc cards a lot more now since I can also do B/P at WM.

I had a chat with them this morning. I already had this bonus earlier this year. Not eligable :/. Was worth a try though.
