Update 2:55 pm EST: The portal is already back
Not only has Discover recently announced a disappointing selection of 5% categories for the 4th quarter (“online shopping” isn’t there this year), but they seem to have erased their cash back portal as well. This is what I see when I log into Discover Deals:

Notice that there isn’t a single store in which clicking through to shop results in a Cashback bonus? In fact, they only have one cashback bonus at all and that one is limited to one time use only. The rest of the deals are discounts.
It was obvious from the get-go that Discover’s Double Cash Back bonus was far too generous. Did Discover wise up and make the drastic move of taking away their shopping portal? Yesterday, only a few stores were missing (such as Sears). At that time, one reader told me that when he logged in with one account, Sears cashback was available. With another account it was not. He guessed that they had removed Sears from the account that had already earned a large amount of cashback.
If you’re a Discover It cardmember, please log in to Discover Deals and let us know what you see. Also, let us know whether or not you’re enrolled in the Double Cashback offer. It’s theoretically possible that they’ve limited portal shopping only for those enrolled. And, let us know if you’ve shopped heavily through the portal since enrolling in the Double Cashback offer.
My guess is that they’re simply doing some kind of system maintenance and that we’ll see portal cashback return for everyone. That’s my hope anyway!
