Use Your Apple Pay/Discover Combo at Verizon and T-Mobile Stores for 22% Cashback!

HT - AL and JS via email

Update: According to @esthery, you can use Apple Pay at AT&T locations as well!


I will be on holiday starting tonight until Tuesday night (last time for a little while!).  Twitter and email responses will be delayed until at least Tuesday night or more likely until Wednesday.




I have not done this myself, but I have been told by a few readers that Apple Pay is accepted at both Verizon and T-Mobile stores.  When you combine Apple Pay with a Discover card you can earn 22% back in rewards.  I like to call it Apple Pay/Discover Insanity!

You should be able to pay your phone bill in store and you can try to prepay your phone bill as well to save 22% off your phone bill.

You can try to see if Apple Pay is accepted at Sprint or AT&T as well, but I have no concrete information on this.

Staples Stores Accept Apple Pay - Love the Discover/Apple Pay Insanity

On a tip from a few readers who mentioned that Staples accepts Apple Pay, I headed over to a couple Staples stores today and confirmed myself (and obviously bought iPads!) that they do accept Apple Pay.  I paid with my linked Discover and was an easy transaction.  I love this insanity!

There is no need to Price Match to Best Buy (unless you want more!).

Considering the iPad deal that is going on now at Staples, this is a nice time to head on over yourself.

Use Best Buy Price Match from Staples on iPad Deal for Discover/Apple Pay Insanity!

Update: One reader points out that Staples accepts Apple Pay, that is another place to buy the iPads.  Since you can't buy $10,000 at once, you can go to both stores.

Chuck over at Doctor of Credit reported today that some Best Buy's are now starting to accept Apple Pay.

This leads us to our first Discover/Apple Pay insanity deal.

Earlier this week I reported a wonderful iPad deal at Staples.com.  iPad Air 2s are $150 off. I normally like to price match from Best Buy to Staples because of portals, Chase Ink and extremely generous Staples Rewards.

Let's do the reverse today, let's pricematch from Staples to Best Buy.

Does it work?  Here is the language from the Best Buy's Price Match Guarantee.

We won't be beat on price.

We'll match the product prices of key online and local competitors.

The Details:

• At the time of sale, we price match all local retail competitors (including their online prices) and we price match products shipped from and sold by these major online retailers: Amazon.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, HP.com, Newegg.com, and TigerDirect.com.

The bold part is where we are going for.  Staples should be considered a local retailer (assuming there is one locally).  The iPad Air 2 deal at Staples is only found online for the 64GB version.  The 16GB version is found in the circular so you could pick up a circular and bring it just in case.  Based on their guarantee, they should match Staples online price.

So you will be forfeiting 5x Ultimate Rewards, up to 5% Staples Rewards, but earning up to 2.5% Best Buy Rewards and 22% from Discover.  Not too shabby!  I'm heading over to Best Buy once that iPhone comes through to check it out!

Here's the hitch:  They may not have any in stock, they may limit how many you can buy with the price match or the manager may decided to deny the pricematch even if it is legitimate, but if it works out, it's gold!
