I've done a search and haven't found a really good answer for this yet (sorry if I missed it!). I've got a Discover card already, but I'm looking at opening the plain Discover IT card to get the 5% categories. I'm really only interested if I'd get the double cashback for the first year. Does anyone here know if just opening a new card makes it eligible for that promo?
I get nitpicky on the terms where it says 'for new cardmembers only'. If they're trying to get new people then I'd be an existing member, if they just want to issue new accounts, then I'd be a new member. From some of the stuff I could pull online it seems like I'd get it but the latest posts were from the promo's in 2015 which were a little different.
10% back at Target and
Amazon is totally worth the hard pull... 5% not at all since we already have Amazon and Target cards, and I have the Freedom for rotating categories the rest of the year.
