Automated Discover Cashback Activation Checks
Every Monday, WebRun signs in to your Discover account, reads the current quarter's Cashback Bonus categories and whether they have been activated, notes the rewards balance, records it all in a Notion tracker, and nudges you on WhatsApp while there is still a quarter left to earn.
How do I remember to activate my Discover cashback categories?
Every Monday, WebRun signs in to your Discover account, checks whether the current quarter's Cashback Bonus categories have been activated, and reads the rewards balance. It logs the status in Notion and nudges you on WhatsApp while the quarter is young, so bonus spend still earns the higher rate.
- A new quarter never opens unactivated for long
- Every quarter's status is on the record in Notion
- Activation stays your click, so nothing changes on the account by itself

Questions, answered
Will it activate the categories for me?
No. WebRun reads the activation status and tells you. Pressing activate stays your click, because it changes your card account.
Does it see my card number or statements?
It reads the rewards section only and never records a card number, a payment method or transaction detail in the Notion tracker.
What happens once I have activated?
The WhatsApp nudges stop for that quarter. WebRun keeps checking weekly and starts again only when a new quarter opens unactivated.
