Promotion Details
You must register to receive the 5% bonus on up to $1,500 in spend ($75 cash back maximum). Exact language from Discover:
Activate to earn 5% Cashback Bonus at stand-alone Grocery Stores from 4/1/18 (or the date on which you activate 5%, whichever is later) through 6/30/18, on up to $1,500 in purchases. Grocery purchases made at convenience stores, gas stations, warehouse clubs, supercenters, discount stores (or at grocery stores associated with supercenters or discount stores) are not eligible. Purchases made using tap-and-pay, mobile or wireless card readers, virtual wallets or similar technology may not be eligible. Rewards are added to your Cashback Bonus account within two billing periods. See Cashback Bonus Program Terms and Conditions for more information about your rewards.
Our Take
If you've got an eligible Discover card you likely received a notice already to register for this. If you haven't, there is no downside to registration. We hate that Discover requires you to register to receive this bonus, but it is a way for them to ensure you're engaging with them, even if it is a single click. For reference, we've previously covered the complete 2018 Discover cash back schedule.

Now just waiting for the Freedom categories to come out
Good to know thanks. I’ll look out for it
I am buying all my gas with my Chase Freedom Card, waiting to hear 2nd quarter categories.
Love this reward. Except I always have problems with Discover being accepted everywhere. So to me, it’s not worth it.
Yes, I’ve always wondered why Discover doesn’t move some of its seemingly enormous, endless marketing budget to growing the card acceptance side of the business.
Sweet!
Thanks
I’m also waiting for this! It’s likely also groceries but I’m hoping they might include mobile wallet payments again. It broadens the category so much and has definitely schooled me in the use of this form of payment.
I received this offer on all three of my discover cards. A very nice bonus offer.
This isn’t an “offer” per say. Everyone is eligible.
Thanks for the info. I’m jumping on this one.
With food always being a large chunk of our budget, I’m happy to enlist my Discover cc to game groceries any way possible.
Cool! I will have to register. I am like everyone else and waiting to see what Chase does. They are usually not too far behind Discover with letting us know the quarterly bonus earners.
Great article on a card most of us have and not use. Thanks!
Is Discover even a thing any more?
At 5% cash back on rotating categories and double cash back the first year on some of their cards, very much so.
Oh wow! I can’t wait for this. This will be all used up, thanks for letting us know 🙂
Since I use Samsung Pay at my grocery store, I got 5x this quarter and now I’ll get it next quarter also
Great! I had trouble reaching $1500 on gas stations, but grocery will be much easier. Hopefully it won’t overlap with Chase Freedom again.
Glad I have my old AMEX blue card. Get me 5% on groceries and gas all year long.
I’m not a fan of these cards with rotating categories….but to each his own.
Chase freedom Q2 category is grocery stores. I think that is a better card to use over the discover for extra cash back.
Why is that? Use em both?
Good to know. I never use my Discover card. Maybe I will now.
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll be maxing out this one.
Rumor has it that chase freedom 5% category Q2 is grocery stores too.
Which specific grocery stores are eligible? Their parameters are very ambiguous…
Anything categorized as a grocery store by their merchant category code.
Yes, they ARE indeed ambiguous. And may I ask, how is a CONSUMER going to know which grocery store fits the “grocery store” category Discover will accept as eligible for the program? Has anybody seen any merchant “category code” published anywhere? Go ahead and ask one of the general managers, let alone a cashier, and they will look at you as if you fell off a tree! You will NOT know which grocery store qualifies for the promotion until you get your Discover bill, by which time there is nothing you can do but eat (no pun intended) the cash back denial due to an unqualified “grocery store.”
