Discover Card bonus question

[travelbug]

For July-Sept., the Discover 5% cash back categories include department stores and home improvement stores, along with another category or two. Does anyone happen to know if Best Buy is categorized as either of these types of store?

How about Bed Bath & Beyond? Same question.

Thanks!

The other category is Amazon.com. Is Bed, Bath and Beyond on the department store list for the Discover gift cards?

I personally wouldn't consider Best Buy or Bed Bath & Beyond department stores and I'm pretty sure neither of those would qualify.

This is directly from Discover:

Here are some example merchants:

• Belk®
• Bloomingdale's
• Bon-Ton® including:
• Bergner's®
• Boston Store®
• Carson's®
• Elder-Beerman®
• Herberger's®
• PARISIAN

• Younkers®
• Boscov's
• Burke's®
• Dillard's
• JCPenney®
• Kohl's®
• Lord & Talyor
• Macy's®
• Neiman Marcus

• Neiman Marcus Last Call
• NORDSTROM
• Nordstrom Rack
• Saks Fifth Ave & Off Fifth
• Sears®
• Stein Mart®
• VON MAUR®

...And many more!

Getting the right category for the Discover Bonus seems to be a total crapshoot in my experience.
