but….you can use discover points for heavily discounted gift cards! The redemption rate on that 5% back is better, so I switched my default card over to discover, tracked my progress; changed it back to the Prime Visa as soon as I maxed.
I assumed everyone did that, it's clear bonus money
? This quarter it's Amazon and Target
Actually " Home Improvement Stores" 5% is pretty good. You can go to Lowes or Home depot and buy those high value gift card, such as Kroger, Amazon or Ebay. Cheers.

It's not really useful for those that already have a redcard, or an Amazon card unless you're in your first year.

Interestingly, they did not explicitly include Hulu.

Meh, maybe restaurants % is useful to me but Home improvement 5% vs. regularly sale GC at 10% off and streaming cb with Blue Amex is 6% year-round.

Restaurants isn't all that great either. We usually buy discounted gift cards 20% or higher. It's cool for somewhere we might not have planned for, especially if traveling. But that 5% is so minimal I can't really see using Discover next quarter. And I'll still have a few free AMEX offers on different streaming services going through March so this is a dud.
