tippet, Cardmembers enrolled in this offer will receive up to 10% Cashback Bonus award on grocery purchases and up to 2% Cashback Bonus award on other purchases when cash award is exchanged for up to double the amount in certificates from our Cashback Bonus Partners. Cardmembers receive a cash award of up to 1% of each purchase based on annual level and type of purchases, plus Cardmembers enrolled in this special offer will receive an additional Cashback Bonus award of 4% of each purchase made with the Card as of the date on which the Cardmember enrolls in this offer through 06/30/04 at qualifying grocery stores, subject to a cap of $1500 in grocery purchases. From the discover site... isn't that the gimmick ... to get you to buy more from sponsors... ie the 'double' is in certificates... Sounds a bit like our Crappy Tire money up here (Canadian Tire Stores offer 4% cash back via Canadian Tire Money negotiable instore as cash for goods) and also rebated on their credit card. en.wikipedia.org My vice Airmiles... use Airmile Mastercard and Amex cards. Buy at Airmile sponsors like Shell and Dominion Food stores so I double dip... best is Shell now gives up to 2.00 cash value coupon on ANY purchase a the Dominion grocery stores. Up to 2 bucks on 65 liters of gas. Between 3% to 4% deal depending upon current gas price. Triple play.. Plus paying @ the pump with credit card often merits extra miles... Pays for lots of excursions with the kids to Marineland, Lion Safari , Movies.. Food certificates... etc etc.. sounds like penny pinching but hey it's all stuff I gotta buy anyway... Kastel
