Heads up, Discover cardholders! Keep an eye on your email because Discover is sending out targeted offers for a free $20. The email subject line is "Congrats, [Your Name] — you have a special $20 cash back offer." If you see it, all you have to do is add your Discover card to a mobile wallet like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay and spend $100 by the end of the year (December 31, 2024).
This is basically free money! Most of us are already using mobile wallets for everyday purchases, so hitting that $100 spending requirement should be a breeze. It's a quick and easy way to pad your travel fund or treat yourself to something nice. The offer has reappeared as of January 8, 2026, so check those emails! There's no stated end date this time, but don't wait too long in case it disappears again.
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
