Not that I'm promoting cheating the system, but I just found a little loophole in the Amazon return system that could easily be exploited.
For the 4th quarter, Amazon purchases were on the 5% cashback bonus list for Discover.
I just went to return an item, assuming the purchase price would be credited back to our Discover card and I'd lose the 5% we earned on that purchase. But Amazon gives you the choice of the credit going back on your credit card OR going into your Amazon account as a gift card. I chose the gift card. That means the purchase will still be on our Discover charge and we'll still get the 5% cashback even though we returned the item.
