I have the IT card now. If I get the Miles card as well, will I have separate awards for cash back and "miles"? The main question I think needs answering is how the Miles card fits in with Discover Deals? For example, Apple Store is 5% cash back via DD. So if I don't have the regular IT card and go through DD portal to buy an iPad, will I get 5x "miles", or just 5% cash back? Right now when I log on to my Discover account, they separate the cash back earned via CC from the cash back earned via DD. My guess is that they'll do the same if you have the Miles card. We're all hoping that Discover will double the DD earnings at the end of the year (5 "miles" from DD + 1.5 from CC, doubled to 13 "miles"), but I think that's highly unlikely. More realistically, buying an iPad will get 5% cash back and 1.5 "miles" that doubles to 3 "miles" after 12 months.
