With Black Friday looming, Discover is tweaking its bonus categories for the fourth quarter of 2020, adding Best Buy to the mix.
The 5% categories for October through December were originally Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Target.com. From Nov. 25 to Dec. 31, purchases at Best Buy will also qualify.
If you’ve already activated the fourth-quarter categories, there’s nothing more you need to do. Best Buy purchases, both in-store and online, will automatically start earning 5% cash back until you hit the quarter’s combined spending limit. (Best Buy spending from before Nov. 25 will earn 1% cash back.)
It’s the first time going back to at least 2014 that Discover has offered 5% cash back at Best Buy. The Citi Dividend card, which has a similar rewards structure, features Best Buy as a 5% retailer in the fourth quarter every year.
