You have to spend $1500 a month for 6 months to get the $250 back. I don't want to buy six cameras. Sorry.

Well, if you purchase "living things" like gas, food, meals, and other necessities you can easily spend that amount. They're betting you'll carry the balances over so they can make their $$$ off interest on you. But if you pay the balance in full all the time, you win. Myself - I don't need another credit card. But it may be a good deal for others.

Yep. For those who put everything on their card and pay it off every month this is a great deal. The temptation is to spend more to meet the quota--never do that.

That promotion must have only been sent to people who don't already spend that much on their Discover cards. I didn't get the offer.

That's exactly what I do. Everything goes on the card all month long and I get cash back for those purchases. Full balance is paid by automatic withdrawal every month, so there is never any interest. My money stays in a checking account earning interest all month long, so I am getting paid from the bank and from the credit card company. It's not a fortune, but it can add up to a few hundred dollars every year.
