For those who mostly use the card for the 5% rebate you will need to determine each month when you are close to the 100 limit. If you go over 100 in a month you will only earn .25%. Another change with this card is that the first 1200 in gas and other auto related charges do not count to move you to the next tier. You will need to spend another 1500 to get to the .5% tier and another 1500 after that to get to the 1% tier. Assuming at least 1200 in gasoline 4200 in spending will give you ~1.7% interest so it is still a fairly good rate. Of course anything above 4200 will get you 1%. Over the past 5 years Discover has pulled back considerably from the great offers they once had. Claiming they offer double rewards is a joke.
