Discover runs quarterly 5% cash back on certain categories every quarter. Last year, they switched to announcing the categories one quarter at a time.[1] Naturally, this makes it somewhat interesting to speculate on.
I will also trade in this market.
Resolution Criteria
This market will resolve based on the official announcement of Discover's 5% cash back categories, which can be found on their rewards category page. If the webpage is unavailable, resolution will be based on information from the Discover mobile app or direct contact with a representative.
Each choice represents a single category. The market will resolve to YES for any category that matches the official announcement.
Proposing New Choices
Only I, the market creator, will be able to add new categories. To maintain clarity, please refrain from submitting choices that are minor variations of existing ones (e.g., "drugstore" vs. "drug store").
