According

Discover Card is offering Cardmembers a free and

More Entertaining" Get More program now through
December.
“Discover Card's ‘Make the
Holidays More Entertaining' Get More program is
a simple, convenient way for Cardmembers to save
money during what is traditionally a very busy
spending season,” said Julie Loeger, vice president
of rewards marketing for Discover Financial Services.
“Plus, we've taken some of the stress out of
holiday shopping by offering our Cardmembers 5%
Cashback Bonus at locations where they
are spending the most time and money.”
From October through December, Cardmembers
who take advantage of the Get More program can
earn 5%
Cashback Bonus for purchases made
at restaurants, movie theatres and movie rental
stores, and at Amazon.com, Borders, and many other
participating retailers. Plus, Cardmembers always
earn up to 1%
Cashback Bonus – unlimited
– on all other purchases.
The Get More
program is free to Discover Cardmembers. It offers
the opportunity to earn 5%
Cashback Bonus
all year long in over 15 different categories
that align with consumers' top seasonal shopping
needs. Just as their shopping needs change, so
do the categories – four times a year – so Cardmembers
earn the most cash based on where they want to
shop and use credit.
Discover Card's
Cashback Bonus Program offers Cardmembers industry-leading
features such as unlimited cash rewards that never
expire for active Cardmembers, the most flexible
redemption options and the ability to increase
– even double – their cash rewards when they redeem
