Discover Birthday Double Cashback Bonus Promotion

|
Discover is running a new promotion where you can earn up to a 2% cashback bonus on up to $500 in purchases. It’s not going to be a crazy amount of cashback, since it’s 2% on $500 in purchases, but if you already use a Discover Card you might as well sign up and get the extra cashback.
There are four cards that are eligible:
- More Card by Discover
- Motiva Card by Discover
- Open Road Card by Discover
- Miles by Discover -you get double miles, instead of cashback
The promotion has balloons and says “Celebrate your BIRTHDAY” but it doesn’t appear that it actually has to be your birthday month. You just have to pick a month and you’ll earn double cashback on up to $500 in purchases retroactively applied to the start of the month. There doesn’t appear to be an expiration date. Here are the T&Cs:
Sign up to earn 2% Cashback Bonus on up to $500 in purchases from the first day of the birthday promotion month for which you enroll (or the date on which you sign up, whichever is later) through the last day of that month. Purchases earning 2% Cashback Bonus will not count toward your total annual purchases to determine your tier level. These purchases must post to your account by the last day of the month. Allow up to 5 weeks for this reward to be added to your Cashback Bonus account. See Cashback Bonus Program Terms and Conditions for further details about your reward program.
Just a quick word of warning if you have a Discover card you opened for a 0% balance transfer – any new purchases you make will accrue interest immediately since you’re carrying a balance. That and depending on how they put your payments, you may be paying a lot in interest.

Thank you, Shirley, for giving us the link to sign up for the birthday bonus. It worked and was so easy to sign up once there. I don’t know why Discover didn’t put that on the card they sent in the mail!
I have received a letter confirminga free Double Birthday promotion. However the letter states it begins 12/31/11 and ends on 12/31/11.
How can I possibly use this?

Call the number on the back of your card for customer service. Have your letter available to read the pertinent dates to the CSR. The dates should be the actual birthday month of the primary cardholder.
Wassup?? Had a hard time finding place to actually sign up for this promo. So-o, I didn’t, but would like to. My birth month is April. Again – wassup?
If I can’t find a place to sign up for the birthday bonus, you are correct; I won’t miss much. But why put us through all this and then not provide a place to sign up?
