How to Calculate Discover It Credit Card Bonus Category Spend

Good morning everyone.  Today is the last day of February, so we are 2 months into the year and 2 months into the first quarter.  I wanted to check the spending on my Discover It Credit Card and see how much I have spent toward maxing out the grocery store bonus category.  Every quarter, you can earn up to $75 cash back on up to $1,500 in spend.  Discover has made it really easy, you can see your bonus tracker here.  Based on the $21.92 in cash back, I assume I have spent $438.40 at grocery stores.  But that might not be 100% correct…

How to Easily Convert a Discover Credit Card Online

Good morning everyone, it is now possible to convert an existing Discover credit card into a different Discover credit card online (hat tip to Don at Doctor of Credit).  I currently have a Discover It Credit Card and a Discover It Miles Credit Card.  My Discover It Miles Credit Card is over a year old, so I already got my double points after the first year.  Now the credit card only earns 1.5x on all purchases, so I don’t use that credit card anymore.  I would much rather have another Discover It Credit Card and have access to rotating 5% cash back categories.  To convert your existing Discover credit card online, click here and sign into your Discover online account.
