Evolve Money Discover It Payments Earn 1% Cash Back and Other Cash Back Mysteries Solved

About a month ago, I wrote Evolve Money Update and Discover It Cash Back Clarification ($50 Refer a Friend Bonus and 5% Cash Back at Walgreens).  This post is an update to that post.  Since writing about Discover It’s cash back, my Evolve Money payments have posted to my Discover It statement and cash back has posted to my account.  Before I clarify the cash back mysteries, let me show you where I found this information in my Discover account.  The first thing you need to do is log into your Discover It online account and click the orange View Statement button.

Evolve Money Update and Discover It Cash Back Clarification ($50 Refer a Friend Bonus and 5% Cash Back at Walgreens)

Good evening, the first half of this post is a follow up to Evolve Money Adds Discover Credit Cards as Bill Pay Payment Source (Visa and MasterCard Payments Coming in 2015).  We last left off with a $999 Evolve Money pending charge on my Discover It Credit Card.

Pending Evolve Money Payments in Discover Account

I am happy to report than the Evolve Money bill payment posted as a purchase.  It is still yet to be determined if these transactions will earn cash back (1%) and/or 5% cash back for being an online transaction for Discover It’s 4Q category bonus.  According to Doctor of Credit, Evolve Money bill payments should earn 1%, but not 5%.  We will see if he is right…

My Credit Card Affiliate Links will be Removed on Monday, November 10 at 12PM CT

Which Credit Card

My Credit Card Affiliate Links will be Removed on Monday, November 10 at 12PM CT

Good evening everyone, I wish I were here with better news, but unfortunately on the eve of #westcoastdo, I received an email from my credit card affiliate network that my Barclays credit card links will be deactivated Monday, November 10 at 12PM CT.  Shortly after noon, I will remove all Barclays credit card links from my blog.

Over the last year and a half, I have slowly and steadily lost all the great credit card links, from Chase, Citi, American Express, Bank of America, Discover, US Bank, and now Barclays.  With the loss of Barclays, I will only have links for secured credit card, which I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy.  The loss of credit card affiliate links is probably a result of very low approval numbers (I am too small for the banks to bother keeping) and the manufactured spending topics I often discuss probably didn’t help either.

It is kind of ironic, really.  When I started my blog in May 2013, I had all the great credit card links and none of the site traffic.  Fast forward to today, the situation has completely swapped.  In a few days, I will have no credit card links and much greater site traffic.  The timing was terrible, but also a blessing.   Continue reading →
