@my4mainecoons said in Discover (activate) earn 5% Cashback Bonus at Gas Stations & EV Charging, Public Transit, Utilities, July 1 to Sept 30, 2025, on up to $1,500 in purchases.:

@yoregano I pay my electric bill with no fee prepaid Visa gc (Staples, Chase Ink). We get one free cc transaction per month.
You can buy gas (or any other) gc at a gas station and get 5% back from Discover as its a gas station purchase.
Chase Ink gives 5% back on phone & Internet year round so I have those on autopay.

Yea, I can do unlimited CC transactions to pay my natural gas and electric bills as those are from normal utility companies (Nicor and ComEd). It’s just my water that comes from my local municipality that charges a fee for online transactions.

Buying GCs from a gas station, yeah, that’s a way to ensure maxing out the 5% promo bonus, though I try to be careful getting too deep in stocked up GCs and generally prefer to buy GCs other ways that have bigger discounts.

I don’t have a Chase card, but yeah, I know that cards like this can be good for certain types of purchases like you mentioned.

The first season of Poker Face was very good. The second (current) season is hit or miss, very different in feel to the first season. Anyway, that’s another show worth checking out. I’m happy to get Peacock for free from Xfinity by having a high level of rewards status as a long time customer for Internet service.

It can be hit or miss with these bonus categories crediting as hoped/expected. I also gave it a try to see what would happen paying my water bill which is through my town’s third-party govt portal. The actual bill did indeed report as “utilities”. But they also charge a fee for using a credit card, which billed as a separate transaction, and that showed as “misc govt services”. In the end, the 5% bonus on the bill was pretty much a wash to cover the fee. It was a confirmation that the category applied, at least. I’ll get the full 5% back on my electric, gas, and Internet bills since no CC fees are charged on those.

A general reminder to look out for deals on Domino’s gift cards. I find them on sale from many outlets (Amazon, grocery stores, online stores) often at 20% off. You can redeem Discover rewards and get them at 10% off, but they also sometimes have specials where they are 20% off. Basically, someplace always has them on some kind of discount.

@mistercheap said in Domino's Pizza Large up to 7 toppings $10 with code ends 8/3:

Ordered our first pizza on this deal the other day and was quite pleased. Maxed out with 7 toppings but instead of adding just anything to get to 7, doubled up on mushrooms and onions along with some meat to hit 7. Would rather get double of some things I really like on my pie rather than just throwing anything on it. Toppings were pretty generous and there was a lot of cheese on the pie too so very pleased for $10. Also earned rewards to get one of those 16 piece bread bites thing on the next order. Those are quite good if you haven’t tried them and have the points to add them to the order to get it free.

If you have a rewards account, you get 10 points for every order placed. It takes 60 points to get a free 2-topping med pizza, a sandwich, or lava cakes, it’s 40 points for bread twists or cheesy bread, and 20 points for a 20-oz drink or parm bread bites. They sometimes give personalized offers as well. You have to order at least once every six months to keep points from expiring and otherwise can bank up your points and spend them as desired.

This seemed like a pretty good deal, but it’s expired or they did something to limit it. The product page shows three codes applicable but at checkout, only 30% is being applied for me.

It’s much worse at night. Right now, close to 10 PM Central, I’m getting kicked out repeatedly the last 15 minutes or so.

Yeah, the food prizes were meh but the 1,000+ Crowns were pretty good.

I haven’t done one of these Clipp deals in over a year. Over time, the number of businesses that participate has steadily dropped and there just aren’t many anymore. It was definitely better years ago when it was called Local Flavor.

The one for today, a Rodeo Burger, that’s just a basic burger with a couple onion rings on it? Meh.
