Discover Card Double Miles on All Purchases in August 2012

Credit card companies, or at least all the cards I seem to be holding, are all clambering to get my spend. We are still trying to meet the $2,500 spend on the U.S. Bank FlexPerks Business line, the $750 for three month offer from US Airways, which I have not done anything on yet, and then of course there is the ridiculous offer from Discover on my wife’s Miles card. Now both my wife and my Discover Miles accounts are showing a sign-up to receive double miles between August 15-31, 2012.

Simply sign into your account, and on the right side it will say if your account qualifies for double miles in the last two weeks of August. Spend $250 before August 31, 2012, and receive up to 500 miles on ALL purchases.

Update: People are also reporting being targeted for this promotion with the Discover More card; able to earn 2% cashback on all purchases in addition to whatever else earning you may receive. Sadly, our card was not targeted.

I need to either start hanging out at places where people still pay cash or start a service for people to pay me cash, and I will put it on the card. Otherwise, staying on top of which card to use when becomes mind boggling. Anyone have expenses over the next couple of months they want me to pay for them and reimburse me in cash or money order?

I guess I could always just go sit in a restaurant and for each person that pays cash, have them pay me until I meet the minimum bonus offer spend. I guess I would need to alert my card issuers of my pending 20-30 charges per day at the same location, huh?
