Discover Spreads Holiday Cheer by Providing More Value to Cardmembers This Holiday Season
Cardmembers Enjoy 5% Cashback Bonus® on Fashion and Restaurants, Increased Cashback Bonus Offers from Top Online Retailers, and the Option to Pay with Cashback Bonus on Amazon.com
RIVERWOODS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It’s that time of year again when Discover rewards its loyal cardmembers with more Cashback Bonus® opportunities to help save money during the holiday season.“Our cardmembers will receive more value from their holiday shopping when they use their Discover cards this season. They can take advantage of rewards by earning extra Cashback Bonus through ShopDiscover, paying with Cashback Bonus on Amazon.com, or redeeming it for high-value partner gifts cards.”
Discover is starting its gift-giving early this year as the company recently announced a new program with Amazon.com that offers cardmembers Double (2%) Cashback Bonus on up to $250 in purchases each billing period through the end of 2011 at Amazon.com. Discover cardmembers can also pay with Cashback Bonus directly at check-out when they link their card to their Amazon account. This new option allows cardmembers to use their rewards – in a dollar-for-dollar exchange – to get millions of items, when they want them, without having to leave the Amazon site.
Other ways Discover is rewarding cardmembers with clear value this holiday season include:
- 5% Cashback Bonus: Discover cardmembers have the opportunity to earn 5% Cashback Bonus in rotating categories throughout the year up to the specified amount in each category.

Cardmembers can enroll in the program at Discover.com or by calling 1-800-DISCOVER (347-2683).
