Offer Details

Cardholders of the Discover It Cash Back credit card earn a 5% cash back earning rate for a rotating set of categories. With 2022 ending, Discover announced the categories for the first quarter of 2023 will be grocery stores, drug stores, and select streaming services. Cardholders can earn 5% on up to $1,500 in purchases each quarter.

Grocery Stores: Since most cardholders make regular visits to grocery stores, it shouldn’t be hard to earn the bonus on up to $1,500 in purchases. Grocery Store purchases include those made at supermarkets, meat lockers, bakeries, smaller grocery stores, and grocery delivery services. All purchases made at Walmart, Target, convenience stores, wholesale clubs, discount stores, and supercenters are not eligible.

Drug Stores: Like with grocery stores, this category will make it easy to earn the maximum bonus this quarter. Drug Store purchases include those made at stand-alone drug stores, pharmacies, pharmacies located inside of retail stores, and from online pharmacies.

Streaming Services: There are a lot of options to choose from. They include Amazon Music, Amazon Prime Video, AMC+, Apple Music, Apple TV, Audible, DirecTV Stream, FUBO, Google Play, HBO Max, iHeartRadio, MLB.TV, Pandora, Paramount Plus, Peacock, Showtime, SiriusXM, Sling TV, Spotify, Starz, Vudu, YouTube Music, YouTube Premium, YouTube TV. Other popular streaming services may be included. If your subscription is bundled with another product or service, billed by a third party (such as a digital platform, a cable or satellite provider, telecommunications, internet provider or a car manufacturer), the purchase may not be eligible in this category. Add-ons associated with Select Streaming Services may not qualify for this promotion if they are not listed, billed in a bundle, separately or through a third party. Listed merchants are in no way sponsoring or affiliated with this program.
