Use Your Discover as an Airmiles Card

This quarter (January - March), remember to sign up for your 5% bonus at the Discover website and your card will be better than an Airmiles Card for purchases in the travel industry.

Every three months, Discover promotes different types of industries where you can increase your cashback bonus from 1% to 5%. If you book any hotel rooms, flights, car rentals using your card, you get a huge discount.

Typical discounts using your airmiles credit card are about 1%, but during the first three months of the year, your Discover card will pay you back 5x the amount.

The only catch is that you have to sign up for the bonus once you login to your account or just call the 1-800 number on the back of your card and ask for the bonus for January - March.
