Discover just sent me an email detailing the birth month promotion that they are running. I am not sure how long this has been going on but it is the first time I am seeing it so I signed up immediately. They will be offering 2% on all purchases up to $500 during the month of your birth…which is not a bad deal.
I already use Discover for most purchases and had planned on using it for gas since this is the extra cash back month for gas as well. I will just have to make a better effort to use the Discover card during my birth month to get all the rewards that I possibly can.
Sounds like a great deal. People with a December birthday finally have something to be happy about – extra savings on holidays shopping.
My quess is that 2% is like the 1% = not real. One gets only 0.25% unless you charge more than $3,000. Better with other cards that offer 1% on the first dollar.
