The text says "Sign up to earn 2% CashBack Bonus on Internet and department, clothing, shoe and jewelry store purchases". That sounds like all internet purchases to me, plus some additional non-internet categories.
your title is misleading. It is CashBack on VERY SPECIFIC purchases, not all Internet purchases. Red until your title is fixed.
The language is a little unclear, but it does seem to say "internet purchases" plus purchases made at department stores, shoe stores, clothing stores and jewelry stores. The "internet purchases" category seems to be wide open. At least that's my reading of their text:

It now says: Get DOUBLE CashBack Bonus on up to $1,000 in holiday purchases at department stores, clothing stores, shoe stores, jewelry stores or any online shopping with your Discover More card from November 15th through December 31st.
After I signed up, I got a confirmation e-mail saying:
Just use your Discover card and earn DOUBLE CashBack Bonus on up to $1,000 in holiday purchases November 15th through December 31st at: Department Stores Clothing Stores Shoe Stores Jewelry Stores Any Online Shopping
I got the same thing. Double bonus of nothing is still nothing. What is the normal % back. I thought it is tiered.

Up to $1000 in purchases means that if previously you would receive $10 CashBack, now you can get $20. It does NOT mean you can buy $10,000 worth of stuff and get $200 back - you will get $100 + $10 extra. I've been hit by them before on similar issues. Also notice: Discover does not provide an extra year of warranty, so I would not buy an electronic device (such as a computer or video game console) wit their card.
P.S.
Posting #997 on my route to 1000!

This seems like an okay promotion. There is lots of competition amongst cc companies for the Christmas dollar. BOA's shopping mall (or whatever it's called) offers bonus points for certain stores, too.
Like one of the other posters said, for electronic purchases make sure you use the card that doubles your warranty. I have never seen a cc promotion that beats that extended warranty asssurance.

The verbiage after signing up makes it sound as if you'll be getting a straight 2% back on purchases in these categories:

I had the same concern as you, since I only use this Discover account on purchases that qualify for the 5% Get More bonuses. However, it sounds like this offer will give us 2% back, without having to worry about the tiered system!
...earn 1% unlimited CashBack Bonus on all other purchases after your total annual purchases exceed $3,000; other purchases that are part of your first $3,000 earn .25%....
In other words, if your annual purchases have not exceeded $3,000, this offer would just merely increase the CB from 0.25% to 0.50%. You may not even notice the double Cash Back when looking into your statement.
