Have a Discover it card but haven’t gotten around to signing up for the Double Cash Back promotion? Unfortunately, it appears that Discover has silently ended the enrollment period for existing cardmembers. As of today, the promotion, which doubles all of the cash back that you earn with the card for one year–including cash back earned on 5% category spend and Discover Deals–is now available to new cardholders only.

Since you can have two different Discover accounts–provided you have had the first account for at least a year–if you already have one Discover it card, it is possible to apply for a new card with the promotion on it, but it no longer appears to be possible to add the promotion to an existing card. It’s a shame for those who missed out, especially for those who were looking to double dip on Discover it’s 5% categories next quarter, which include home improvement stores, department stores and Amazon.com.

Beginning June 1, 2015, Discover is rolling out a new promotion for Discover it cardmembers. Reports from multiple customer service reps have been conflicting, but most are saying that cardmembers will be able to earn double cash back for 12 billing cycles once they have enrolled, with enrollment being open in June and July. The double cash back will certainly apply to all of your 1% purchases, but there is debate over whether 5% category purchases will also be doubled. At the minimum, though, this would turn your Discover it card into a 2% cash back card temporarily. The double cash back also should supposedly apply to Discover Deals cash back.

Over the past couple of years, Discover has simplified its product line, discontinuing several cards and rather single-mindedly promoting its general purpose Discover it cash rebate card. Now, it appears that Discover has decided that it is the right time to introduce a new card to the competitive travel market. The new Discover it Miles card earns an unlimited 1.5 miles on all purchases, which in itself is nothing special. What makes the card potentially attractive is that for the first year, all of your earned miles will be doubled, meaning that you’ll earn 3 miles per dollar on all your purchases.
