Discover ApplePay 10% Bonus “One-Time Courtesy” Credits Posting on December Statements

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good morning everyone.  I just got an email from Discover stating that my December statement was available to view.  I eagerly logged into my Discover It Credit Card account to see if my ApplePay 10% cash back bonus posted.  Last month, I wrote Discover ApplePay 10% Bonus “One-Time Courtesy” Credits Not Posting on November Statements, where I shared my experience with not receiving the bonus cash back in November.  Prior to that post, I wrote Discover Honors ApplePay Gift Card Purchases as “One-Time Courtesy” through 9/17/2015, where I showed the good and bad emails from Discover (good email shown below).

Anyway, after logging into my Discover It Credit Card account, I saw $112.48 as an ApplePay 10% cash back bonus.  Since there is a 1-2 month lag between making the purchase and receiving the cash back, I looked at all my purchases from the last year and exported them to a spreadsheet.

Good morning everyone, this is just a quick heads up that I will be at FTU Advanced in Newport Beach this weekend.  I won’t be able to make the Friday night happy hour event, but I will be there all day Saturday and Sunday.  If you see me where my Travel with Grant shirt, please stop by and say hello.

The next FTU Event was also announced a few days ago and it will be the FTU Signature Event in Las Vegas.  I bought my ticket and airfare for the event and am looking forward to another exciting weekend in Las Vegas.  There are still plenty of seats available, as of 12/4/2015.

Good morning everyone, happy Cyber Monday.  American Express announced a few new AMEX Offers this morning.  My favorite is Dunkin’ Donuts: $5 off $10.  Unfortunately, there are no Dunkin’ Donuts near by for me to take advantage of half off donuts and coffees :(

The next best offer is for Orchard Supply Hardware (aka OSH): $10 off $50.  If you celebrate the holidays, I’m sure you can find a few decorations to purchase at OSH.

Good evening everyone, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and a deal-filled Black Friday (don’t forget about Cyber Monday).  This is super last minute, but I wanted to let everyone in the Bay Area know that there is a SF Travel Hacker Meetup tomorrow night.  I will be there along with several other miles/points/MS/travel enthusiasts.

  • When: Monday, November 30 @ 7:00 PM
  • Where: Dev Bootcamp, 633 Folsom Street, 6th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94107 (Google Map)

If you get to SF early, a few of us will grab dinner/drinks at Soma Eats from 5-6:30pm.  Depending on Cyber Monday madness, I will try to be there by 5:30pm.
