e-rewards offers the same stuff as the Discover card rewards. Discover dollars are redeemable as real dollars so there is a 1-1 payback.

Discover will double rewards with basically the same list of merchants as e-rewards. The double rewards for Blockbuster means $2.00 rentals. That is the best deal I've found, as our local Blockbuster charges $4.00 plus tax!

Gracewood groves seems a good deal. Omaha Steaks is a rip-off. The reward is redeemable only from a special rewards catalog, in which the prices are so much higher than their website your rewards cupon actually looses money!

Are we talking about the same "e-rewards" program? AFAIK, it is unrelated to credit card programs. Is there a connection here that I'm missing???
