Activate Q3 Categories and Check If You Are Targeted to Earn 5% at Amazon

Amazon has published the 5% bonus categories for the third and fourth quarters on this year, but there’s also a targeted offer that’s showing up for some on their account.

Q3 and Q4 5% Categories

For Q3, the only 5% Cashback Bonus category is Restaurants. You will earn 5% cashback on restaurant purchases from 7/1/17 (or the date on which you activate 5%, whichever is later) through 9/30/17. You can already activate it.

For Q4 it gets better.  The 5% Cashback Bonus categories will include Amazon and more. I guess Discover will clarify the other categories later.

Targeted 5% at Amazon Offer for Q3

While most people will have to wait until the fourth quarter to start earning 5% at Amazon, some people are seeing a targeted offer to earn 5% on Amazon purchases on the third quarter as well. This offer looks like it give you another $1,500 allocation to spend on Amazon only, besides the 5% you earn on $1,500 on Restaurants.

The Offer

Activate to earn 5% Cashback Bonus at Amazon.com from 7/1/17 (or the date on which you activate 5%, whichever is later) through 9/30/17, on up to $1,500 in purchases.

5% at Amazon is a great discount and it gets even better if you have the double cash back promo which would make it 10% back. If you were targeted for the offer mentioned above, you can can spend $1,500 this quarter and $1,500 more next quarter at Amazon and earn the bonus rate. Check your Discover accounts and check under recent transaction for the targeted offer.
