Note: As a few folks have stated, the terms of the Discover Deal of the Year promo, state that in app purchases won’t count. That said, in practice it may be hard to enforce such terms, so as they say, Your Miles May Vary (YMMV). I for one will have my fingers crossed. Via comment section, Eddy states that Discover is grayed out in Apple Pay.

It looks like Apple Pay is no available for those of you Delta Flyers. In fact, the article states:
Starting today, Delta Air Lines (DAL) customers can now book and pay for flights via Apple Pay, the easy and private way to pay, using the latest version of the Fly Delta app.
Now, I can’t say whether this will definitively get you your Deal of the Year 10% Discover Cash Back, but I have to believe that it will.
All that said, if you actually fly Delta in your normal travels, the risk is minimal. If you don’t normally fly Delta Airlines, well, maybe you can find a way to game the system.
Either way, Delta Airlines is now, yet another merchant that accepts Apple Pay.
How will this work with ApplePay? I thought the promo was only good for purchases made in person with your Apple device (i.e. not in app).
I’ve updated the post with the note, and the caveat. As with any of these types of promotions, I believe it is challenging for companies to truly enforce, but regardless, Your Miles May Vary (YMMV).
I thought in app purchases didn’t count…just in store?
But the 10% deal is only for in-store purchases. Do you mean you still see an angle for this to work?
Hi,
This wont work as Discover Cards are disabled for in-app purchases. The option to choose your Discover Card will be greyed out.
@Eddy – Thanks. I’m still getting smart on Apple Pay (I literally bought an iPhone just to leverage this Discover promo), so I appreciate the clarification.
