DISCOVER IT™'s upcoming 5% category is online shopping. I buy everything I can online for convenience and extra points so I'm pretty pumped.
The maximum spending is $1,500 for the months of October, November and December. Here is one idea of how to maximize rewards if you can't spend the full $1,500 online. I haven't tried it myself and I won't until October starts so stay tuned.
- Gift Card Mall - You can buy 3 $500 Visa Gift Cards for $1,522.11 which is equal to 1.47% in fees.
The terms and conditions from Ebates shopping at Gift Card Mall state the following:
You won't get cashback for the extra fees, but the actual $1,500 should get you 1% cashback.
