Just checking a handful of these retailers versus other shopping portals, and most of the time, Shop Discover is at the top for the most amount of cashback earned for purchases. We have been very fortunate that we have never had any issues receiving our cashback (or miles on our other Discover Card) via Shop Discover.

Ironically, as I was writing this article, my wife needed to make a holiday purchase for Vera Bradley. Luckily, the Shop Discover promotion was the best offer I could find, so we already have taken advantage of this holiday promotion.

If you are not yet a Discover Card member, they are currently offering $150 after $1,000 in purchases within the first 90 days. Discover® More Card – $150 Cashback Bonus with $1,000 in purchases in the first 90 Days

$20 Gift Card for MasterCard $200 spend

Million Mile Secrets also points out this week that registering a MasterCard and spending $200 online before the end of the year will earn you a free $20 gift card.
