Discover announces 5% cash back with Apple Pay for the holiday quarter

Discover has shared the details for its October-December bonus, opening up the notable cash back boost to countless more retailers than usual. Read on for all the details on Discover’s Apple Pay cash back 5% bonus.

Discover shared the news with customers in an email and on its cash back calendar landing page. Amazon has often been one of the retailers involved with the 5% back for the holiday quarter (and still is this year) along with another retailer or retail category.

But this time Discover is giving 5% cash back for all Apple Pay purchases (Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Garmin Pay too), making it easier than ever to get those savings.

Discover’s Apple Pay cash back 5% details

  • As usual, there is a limit for the holiday quarter promotion: 5% back on purchases up to $1,500 ($75 cash back potential)
  • Additional $10 statement credit for making a purchase of at least $100 with Apple Pay in the October-December window
  • That means customers can get a total of $85 cash back with the Discover promotion
  • Log in to your Discover account to activate the Apple Pay/Amazon bonus

If you don’t already have a Discover card, you can get an extra $100 with this link when you make a purchase within the first three months of getting your card.

Here’s the fine print on the holiday 5% cash back Apple Pay and Amazon promo:

“Activate to earn 5% Cashback Bonus at Amazon․com and Digital Wallets from 10/1/22 (or the date on which you activate 5%, whichever is later) through 12/31/22, on up to $1,500 in purchases.
