Discover Gift Card Giveaway

Today we are happy to announce a giveaway that is exclusive to Young Adult Money: The kind people at Discover have provided us with two $100 Discover gift cards to give away to a couple of our readers!

A couple weeks ago I shared ten reasons you should get the Discover it credit card. I am not recommending Discover as a casual reviewer of the credit card. I personally have used Discover almost exclusively for more than five years.

Some of the benefits that Discover offers are:

  • Cash back on every transaction – When you use your Discover it® card you will receive 1% cash back on every single transaction. You don’t get points or miles; you get straight cash. Discover makes it simple.
  • Special Cash Back of 5% on Certain Purchases – Not only is there 1% Cashback Bonus on every transaction when you use your Discover it® card, but there also are quarterly specials where you can get 5% Cashback Bonus. And now, Discover cardmembers can sign up to earn 5% Cashback Bonus on online holiday shopping on up to $1,500 in online purchases through December 31!
  • Partner Gift Cards Available at a Discount – Partner gift cards are one of my favorite benefits of the Discover it® card. It works like this – you get $45 of cash back rewards. You then use it to get a $50 Chipotle gift card. It arrives in the mail about a week later. You go enjoy delicious (free) Chipotle!

    You can redeem your cash back bonus for gift cards at a discount. There is also a really wide variety of company’s that are offer discounted gift cards: Macy’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Robin, CVS Pharmacy…the list goes on.

See more reasons in my post 10 Reasons to Get a Discover it Credit Card.

If you think you are interested in applying for the Discover it® credit card, click “apply here” below. If you do end up applying for a card, congrats! I think you’ll be happy with the benefits and rewards Discover has to offer.

Note: Applying for a credit card will not in any way influence the likelihood of winning the gift card giveaway

  14. DonebyForty says

    I don’t have the card, but maybe after I’m done churning the Starwood Amex we can give this one a try.

    • DC @ Young Adult Money says

      DonebyForty Seems like everyone is churning credit cards these days!  I’ve stuck with Discover for years so I’m pretty loyal.  I would consider giving churning a try for the blog content, though.

    5% cash back on gas stations is my favorite

      ayoungpro Good luck, sir!

    It’s funny because I just wrote a post about my first credit card which was a Discover card. Thanks for the giveaway!

    • DC @ Young Adult Money says

      Beachbudget Awesome!  I love Discover, if you didn’t notice ;)

  18. brokeandbeau says

    I use discover banking because of the “high” interest they offer on savings accounts.  Card sounds great too.

    • DC @ Young Adult Money says

      brokeandbeau I currently do not use their banking, but I would definitely consider looking into it.  Thanks for sharing about the ‘high’ interest ;)

  19. AbigailP says

    We need a new rewards card, since our current one refuses to waive the fee. I’ll definitely take Discover into consideration.

  20. LalaineHagler says

    i love the savings you can get from more than 200 retailers

  21. Charles@gettingarichlife says

    My first credit card in college was from Discover.  The credit limit was a 100 bucks, it was a good thing because I would’ve spent more on beers and pizza if I was allowed.

    • DC @ Young Adult Money says

      Charles@gettingarichlife I think they typically start college students out closer to $500 nowadays, but it’s a good thing you didn’t get that limit ;)
