RIVERWOODS, Ill., Apr 07, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Discover announced today more seasonal opportunities for cardmembers to earn Cashback Bonus®, and to redeem those cash rewards with additional merchant partners or for unique cardmember experiences.

From April 1 through June 30, Discover Cardmembers can sign up to earn 5% Cashback Bonus on up to $400 in department store, home improvement and clothing store purchases. This category is the second of four rotating categories that change each quarter, giving cardmembers the opportunity to earn 5% Cashback Bonus all year long. After reaching the $400 spending limit for the quarter, cardmembers will still automatically earn up to 1% Cashback Bonus every time they use their cards.

This quarter, Discover is also rewarding cardmembers and helping them maximize their rewards experience in other ways, including:

  • Additional 5% Cashback Bonus: Discover Cardmembers have the opportunity to sign up to earn 5% Cashback Bonus on up to $200 in grocery and drugstore purchases during the month of June - in addition to the 5% Cashback Bonus for department store, home improvement and clothing store purchases.
  • Expanded Redemption Options: In addition to its extensive list of more than 125 partners such as Bed Bath and Beyond®, Olive Garden® and Old Navy®, Discover will be adding new brand-name products for redemption, including digital cameras, tools and seasonal items. Cardmembers also will be able to redeem their Cashback Bonus for exclusive experiences at various times throughout the year.
  • ShopDiscover: Discover Cardmembers already enjoy earning 5% to 20% Cashback Bonus on purchases made through ShopDiscover, Discover's exclusive online shopping mall featuring more than 200 top retailers such as Sears, Groupon and Best Buy.
