The Discover card grocery store list does not include “big-box” stores such as Walmart and Target. Discount stores, convenience stores, wholesale clubs, and supercenters are not on the list, either. More specifically, the Discover 5% Cashback Bonus categories for 2022 are the following:
January - March: Grocery stores, Walgreens and CVS
April - June: Gas stations, Uber, Lyft and wholesale clubs and, select streaming services
July - September: Restaurants and PayPal
October - December: Amazon.com, Target.com and Walmart.com
Here's how Discover's rotating bonus categories work:
For those who aren't familiar with Discover's rotating bonus categories, this is how it works: Certain Discover cards offer a 5% cash back bonus for purchases at grocery stores and other spending categories that change every quarter. The 5% cash back bonus is limited to the first $1,500 spent in a specific quarter's categories. Purchase amounts over the limit will earn 1% cash back. Cardholders must sign up for each new category to receive the cash back bonus.
