Discover Cashback Debit Cards Now Work With Apple Pay

Discover today announced that its Cashback Debit card can now be used with Apple Pay.

Discover Cashback Debit cards are issued to customers with a Discover online checking account. Cardholders will continue to receive 1% cashback on up to $3,000 in qualifying debit card purchases each month when paying with Apple Pay.

To use the card with Apple Pay, simply open the Wallet app on a compatible iPhone and tap on the plus symbol in the top-right corner. Then, position the card within the camera viewfinder, or tap on Enter Card Details Manually.

Discover credit cards have worked with Apple Pay since September 2015, with support for redeeming cashback bonuses added last year.

In related news, pharmacy chain CVS has completed its rollout of Apple Pay in the United States. Wholesale retailer Costco and convenience store chain 7-Eleven also recently began accepting Apple Pay in the United States.

Yay! That was my only card that wasn't on Apple Pay. I'm way more excited than I probably should be but this is awesome.

Considering that Apple Pay Cash is basically a Discover debit card, I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.
