Quick Thoughts
Discover’s usual discount on Airbnb cards is only 5%, so this is a significant improvement.
Discover Cashback Bonus deals are listed as a 15% bonus but, in reality, they give you a 15% discount, meaning that a $170 in DC could be redeemed for $200 worth of gift cards (as opposed to $170 buying $195.50 worth of Airbnb if they processed it as a bonus).
This isn’t quite as big a discount as you can get with other retailers. Stephen notes that Nike at 20% off would actually be a better deal if you’re planning on reselling the GC. That said, if you’re sitting on a small mountain of Discover Cash and have any Airbnb plans coming up, this could be a great redemption.

How often do Discover Cashback bonuses come around? Is anyone aware of a historical database of such bonuses? Trying to figure out whether I should cash out or wait for something better.
Must correct your math– at 5% discount, $170 buys you $178.95 Airbnb money.
?? The discount is 15%. If you’re referring to the $195.50 figure, that would be if they actually gave it to you as a bonus (like they advertise) vs. the way they process it…as a discount.
