Don't think there was ever 30% just for Apple. If you're referring to this thread, other stores were at 20% (not including Apple)

Thanks, but waiting for it to be 30% added value like the front page deal 4 months ago.

Can it be used for buying iPhone?
Yes however it usually doesn't pan out to do so because when Apple has any promotions they will include a gift card. They do this so that you can't use a gift card to purchase any deal from them because it's seen as using a gift card to purchase another gift card.

You seem knowledgeable, could I ask a question? Do you think there is much chance of anything ~20% or higher bonus coming anytime soon? Have any GC's ever had a higher bonus than that, like the 30% someone mentioned, but seems like may have been wrong?

I have a lot of Discover CB I want to liquidate (a lot) and I'm wondering if now's the time to do it. I could pull it all out as cash, but I do spend quite a bit through Apple. (At least $40 a month through subscriptions, but occasional hardware purchases).

I definitely wouldn't be using any significant amount at AMC, Bath and Body or Nike, which your link mentioned as the 20% off stores.

I bought an MBP using gift cards a year ago during back to school. Didn't affect the deal at all or the bonus GC I got later.

Citi has 20% off. This is good when you just need $10 to spend

Using search history the highest I've seen for Apple is 15% and 20% for all others. Years ago it was probably higher but a slim chance it would come back.

Finally hobbled together 3 different cashbacks and got an Apple TV. Roku was driving me crazy. I literally timed it and it took 1 minute and 20 seconds to open Spotify.

I believe for Citi, the lowest amount is $25 gc for Apple, but it is definitely a better deal if you have the points. For Discover, you can get as low as $10 gc. At Discover there are other cards that offer 20% added value, but they are very limited to the 5 stores (some of them such as Nike are always at 20% year round so that didn't get a bump).

As far as for people trying to use their points, now is probably the best time to do it. Especially for the ones that's tagged "Limited Time Offer!"

How this is a better deal? You can just convert the points to cash at 1 point for per dollar by statement credit. And do the same-thing or better with cash.
Converting your points to gift cards vs straight up cash gives you the '% added value' as a bonus. So for example Nike at 20%, you only use $80 cashback to get a $100 gc.

My Discover rewards balance has been like $3.17 for several years. I never buy anything with my Discover card, and the 5% discount isn't enough to make me spend/waste money on things I otherwise wouldn't have.

Same. In the past I'd use it mostly for gas during the 5% categories and then maybe for Amazon and maybe Paypal, I don't think they've done paypal in a while though. Also doesn't help they removed extended warranty. It mostly sits in a drawer now and is only used for the Amazon/Discover deals when using 1 point lol
