Introduction
So my Discover statement just closed on 1/6, and I just hit my $1,000 of Apple Pay bonus. I did it all through Best Buy in Q4 if you were wondering. Some people aren’t sure where to look to find out how much Apple Pay bonus they have accumulated. The reason for that is because Discover’s electronic statements have more detail than their paper statements. This will be my first EVER and PROBABLY ONLY CIRCLES AND ARROWS POST. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Discover online
When you log in online and go to statements, you can see you have 2 options to view your statements. You probably didn’t know that. Most people would just click on the link on the right.
Statement view on right
When you click the statement on the right, this screenshot comes up. You can see that I earned $1,057 in “Discover Deals and Promotional.” There is no breakdown.

If you click on the date range on the left instead, this is what you see. And as you can see, I had $765 of Apple Pay 10% this month. While you’re being nosy, I want you to look and admire that $28,000 credit line! That was from the glory days when they let you combine accounts.
If you’re wondering about the Discover Deals cashback, those were from deals back in October that I got emails with no dates, so hard for me to reconcile.
In your experience, is the 10% Apple Pay cash back on the full purchase value or is excluding taxes? I just checked mine and I noticed they short changed me (not considering the gift card exclusions)
Discover IT newbie here. some of the discover deals cashback post in current month, some post in current month +1. Any way to predict which period discover deals CB will post in? Also, is it true that the 1% card CB posts one month in arrears? Finally, any idea the business rules that govern the “Everywhere else” dump bucket? Discover reconciliation really a pain, but am experiencing 50% Discover Deals tracking attrition, so as a reseller I have to commit to monthly reconciliation to chase the money.
