Costco accepts Discover online. You can use it to buy Costco Cash cards. Boom, easy $75 right there.
People are really undervaluing and failing to take advantage of Discover card benefits. These cards have no yearly fee and taking advantage of the 5% categories is pretty simple.
Even with the Amazon Visa 5%, the frequency of "pay with points" deals on Amazon is plentiful. You can use as little as one point to get $10,$20 or even $30 off certain purchases. This alone, justifies having this no fee card.
The 5% categories are excellent when they are for gas stations, ( IIRC, the best gas card only offers 4%), wholesale clubs, and streaming services. And even though I have the Amazon card, I will use the Discover card when the 5% category is Amazon, just to boost my points.
If you have the Amex Blue Cash Preferred, use it on all grocery stores (6%), streaming services (6%) prepaid toll replenishment (3%) and gas stations (3%), rotating in the 5% cards when they are for gas stations.
Same for Chase Freedom. This seems like a lot of work but it's really just building a habit that becomes second nature over time.
To make things easier, I use a label maker, and at the beginning of each year I put small labels on each 5% card, detailing the categories for each quarter. With the labels on cards you can't really go wrong.

Discover has 5% at CVS, Walgreens and "grocery stores" this quarter.... just so happens we are planning a Disney trip so 5% back on Disney GC will come in handy (and we have 3 Discover cards between us).... will save at least $225 for minimal effort. Even if you just have 1 card and max out the yearly 5% (on ~ 4x$1500 = $6000) that's $300 in your pocket. Plus if you wait until the holidays to redeem it for GC, you can boost that CB value by 20-25%.

Does anyone else get the following error when trying to access the cashback calendar:

Oops. Something went wrong.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but the rewards calendar is not working at this time. Please check again later.

Go to Account Center

I've tried a bunch of times, even attempted to message but only got a bot, and I am unable to get to the calendar. Tried two different browsers as well.

This is what I do. We have four Discover cards here = easy $300 buying Costco gift cards.

Are you really going to spend $6000 (95%) of the money on gift cards to get $300 back?

Sam's club also accepts that. However, in regards to Costco, most items sold online are items that you want extended warranty on and not perishables, thus I would rather use Citi Costco than that since Discover did away with all benefits.

You can buy Costco Cash cards online and then go in store and purchase anything you want (food, etc.).

Why not? Depending on your cash flows, spending the cap on GC's is an easy way to capture the full 5% and not risk forgetting about it. You can buy GC's for just about anything - including gas, phone services (necessities). Now would I go and blow $6k on GC's I don't really NEED to use otherwise (e.g. restaurants), no. Other the holidays with all the promos on Amazon, I'd just use a promo to maximize the return while buying Amazon GC's, then just add to my account. Granted I'm not talking about several thousand $$ in Amazon GC, but I'm going to spend it through the course of the year anyway.

In my example, our Disney trip is going to cost around $5500 - now I could pay that outright, or take the extra step of buying GC's and getting 5% back on $4500 of that (3 cards) and save $225. I'm paying the whole amount anyway, why not save *something*. People that frequent Disney routinely do this with Target RedCard to get 5% on Disney GC @ Target, FWIW.

I also recall a time, way back when Discover started this promo, and the limits were higher, where I needed to have some major dental work done. The Discover promo ended in March and the dental work was the following month, so I called them to prepay the entire thing (like $3k IIRC) just to get the 5% back via Discover. Why not?

(and the above would change if I anticipated carrying a balance, which I never do, so using a CC isn't going to cost me more than trying to pay cash)

Yes. I've always gotten that error. I'm thinking about calling.

Don't your four family cards share the same credit card number? Mine do, and therefore cannot accrue cashback independently.

What are these amazon points you speak of and where can I check them?

I wouldn't hold my money in GCs unless it's immediately going into a purchase. And even then, I would prefer putting it on a CC with CC benefits
