I've always heard the opposite, i.e., that Discover is consumer-friendly on chargebacks and disputes, and that's why a lot of merchants won't accept it.
Can't use Discover at Costco
If I buy $100 gift card (to be used within a few months) and get 5% back, my net cost is $95 (plus any interest I lose out on from the day of purchase, but would take a year to lose out on $5)
If I put that $100 in a HYSA, it takes me a year to earn $5
So if you buy gift cards that you will use within a year you will come out ahead

Yes, but that's only a 5% savings. Somehow when you can get 5% from a savings account or CD, it is not as exciting anymore.
