Discover - Enable Virtual Card Number and Spend $125 using Google Pay/Wallet - Recieve $25 Cashback Bonus. YMMV

+10 Deal Score
9,560 Views
I received a flyer in the mail today saying if i add my Discover Card to google wallet and then use the virtual card feature to spend $125 or more, I will get a $25 bonus.

My amex BCE card in Google Wallet already uses this, and it is a very nice feature.

use the link below to add your card. One step they fail to mention is that you need to enable the virtual card AFTER you add it. It was not showing up for me when i tried it .

I tried it and was able to add the virtual card to amazon. What makes this even better is that the current 5% category is Amazon this month, so the 5% *should* stack on top of the $25 bonus.

This is YMMV as you need to be targeted , I believe. So you might want to call first to verify you are eligible.

Enjoy!

Several years ago. I used to use their Virtual Cards all the time and they did away with them for some reason.

In my case, I had to go in and enable the virtual card option in google wallet. And then I was able to select a virtual discover card. As far as I know, that is all you have to do. I have google setup to suggest saved cards when i enter a card number in chrome. I just selected the virtual discover card and did a $125 amazon GC reload.

I've held onto my Capital One Quicksilver JUST for the ability to do VCNs for sites that I don't trust. Thankfully Apple Pay is becoming more prevalent online so I can use a different primary CC but for those sites that don't have it....I'll charge it to my QS via a VCN

Got an email but only $10 cash back.
Subject: Try your virtual card number and get $10 cash back

Get $10 cash back with your virtual card number

Gray clouds and an animated cursor clicking on a virtual card number within a list of payment methods.
Once your Discover® Card is enrolled, spend $100 or more with your virtual card number by 1/15/2025 to earn $10 cash back.1

I think this is different. This just virtualizes the card number for Google/Apple/Samsung Pay I believe

Not sure if you can use the virtual card like privacy.com

I got this flyer in the mail too. I used the virtual card to buy a $125 amazon reload. There is no indication from them that you fulfilled all the requirements of the offer and will get the $25 though. So I have no idea if I will actually get it. Fingers crossed.

Just as an update, I used my discover card to reload my amazon gift card balance. And my statement just posted with both the 5% bonus (for amazon) as well as the $25 bonus for using the virtual card.
