RIVERWOODS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 23, 2009--
Discover® card today announced the launch of ItPaystoDiscover.com,
a new Web site that brings together all the ways cardmembers can get the
maximum value from their Cashback Bonus® rewards.
All across America Discover Cardmembers are earning Cashback Bonus
on every purchase. This interactive Web site shows how it all adds up,
features exclusive limited-time deals and offers a peek at how
cardmembers in their area and around the country are redeeming their
Cashback Bonus rewards.
“Cash rewards are part of Discover’s heritage, and we’re proud to have
awarded our cardmembers more than $8 billion in Cashback Bonus
since the program’s inception in 1986,” said Julie Loeger, senior vice
president of rewards and brand management at Discover. “ItPaystoDiscover.com
is a simple and powerful way to help cardmembers realize the full value
of their Cashback Bonus and make their money worth more.”
How to Earn, How to Redeem
ItPaystoDiscover.com
showcases all the ways cardmembers can earn and redeem their Cashback
Bonus rewards. The site provides a unique view of the rewards program
with a running total of how much Cashback Bonus is being awarded
over the course of the year - and a look at how cardmembers are enjoying
their rewards with an interactive map that spotlights redemptions
nationwide.
When it comes to earning rewards, Discover More cardmembers can earn
increased Cashback Bonus through the 5% Cashback Bonus program,
which allows cardmembers to earn more rewards in popular categories and
amounts that change four times a year. Categories include gas, travel,
home, apparel, restaurants, movies and more. A 2010 5% Cashback Bonus
program calendar is available on the site.

through various offers such as double Cashback Bonus seasonal
promotions and exclusive money-saving offers.
Discover Cardmembers have many options when it comes to redeeming their
cash rewards. They can redeem for cash with a direct deposit to a bank
account of their choice or receive a statement credit. If it’s even
bigger rewards they’re seeking, they can increase the value of their
rewards by redeeming their Cashback Bonus reward for partner gift cards
with one of the more than 100 brand-name partners.
In addition to partner gift cards, cardmembers can redeem their Cashback
Bonus for popular merchandise such as the Nintendo Wii Resort
Bundle, Playstation 3 Slim Winter Bundle and Apple iPod®.
They can also redeem for Discover gift cards, which can be used anywhere
Discover card is accepted. Finally, cardmembers can also donate their
rewards to select charities.
Don’t Take Our Word For It
On the site, cardmembers are also sharing their own stories and giving
tips on how they get the most from their rewards, like Rebecca from
Adairsville, GA recently did:
“We usually use our rewards throughout the year to eat at restaurants.
This year we decided not to touch our rewards all year and then cash
them in for department store cards to use for Christmas shopping. Boy
did this idea ever pay off!! We just cashed in enough rewards to get:
$50 Macy’s, $50 Kohl’s, $50 Shutterfly & $25 Bed Bath & Beyond®!!!
You can’t beat the $175 towards Christmas shopping!! This year is gonna
be tight on us for the holidays and this is such a blessing and we are
sooo glad we did it!!!”
