Ignorant much? So some people across the U.S. aren't buying medication that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars in a Pharmacy?

I got most of mine at a supermarket the gift cards and with food and ive seen people spend 500$ plus at supermarkets but mine comes in less then 2 weeks and by then we should know. But in the end we do not lose money just either make a lot or very little but for me at least no loss. |

i made one post about saving your receipts in case 10% on legitimate purchases aren't honored, and was then labeled as a troll that was constantly spreading FUD :rolleyes: |
Sigh.
My statement cut today. Got AP 10% NON-GC purchases at Whole Foods, Sprouts & Staples. Test GC purchase DID NOT get AP bonus. Glad I didnt go all out. |
Again, has anyone received or been denied the bonus on a NON-VGC GC? IE, a store GC?
And what is Discover going to do about all the "mixed" purchases? They say they give 10% on anything that's not GC, so if I'm $50 on GC and $50 on groceries in the same order, what are they going to do? Violate the terms of the promo and not pay on the legit $50? Anyone tried getting a whole foods GC at whole foods? If I buy medication at WAG, can they see my medication? I mean......? This whole thing seems like a mess. And I'd love to know how Discover knows what we're buying...who is telling them? Where is the info coming from? How are they using this info? |

In any case, I don't want to use my Discover card at Walgreens anymore if they can tell what prescription drugs I'm buying.

But if you went all out you still gain more money. Even if they do not do them later on it is 3$ to 5$ profit on each 500$ gift card. I know that is not much but if 1 or 2 gift cards make it or all of them down the road it is still worth it to go all out. |

Oh boy! Consumer Financial Protection Bureau time. We ALL need to nail these SOBs. I hope everyone has a screen shot of the original terms.
Emails are coming in as I type. Your purchases included gift cards. .......s. |
I just received an email from discover detailing a purchase which included a gift card and that the gift card portion of the purchase would not earn the 10% bonus.
"We're writing to let you know that your Apple Pay purchase on September 25, 2015 for $1,009.90 at Walgreens #9712 included a gift card.

EDIT: Wow, seems we're all in a reporting mood. Deleted my post as it was quite redundant.
However, I did get an email stating I would receive 10% back on one purchase as a courtesy. |
