Lost & Stolen Card Checklist
Here's how to use your new Discover Card worry-free and without interruption.
Follow These Tips if Your Account Number has Changed.
- Destroy any remaining cards associated with your old account.
- Your old account number has been canceled—make sure you're using your new card.
- Destroy all remaining cash access checks associated with your old account—they are no longer valid
- If you previously registered at the Account Center, please register again with your new card information/account number. The Account Center will no longer recognize information associated with your old card.
- Update all retailers who used your old account number for recurring billing, automatic bill pay, or online shopping cards (including retailers where a Secure Online Account Number was used). To help identify these merchants, please call 1-800-DISCOVER (1-800-347-2683) anytime to request copies of past statements.
- Make a payment if you've already received a statement associated with the old account—it will be credited to your new account. Your next statement will reflect your new account number.
Protect Your Credit and Your Identity
- File a police report if your card was stolen. You're automatically protected with our $0 Fraud Liability guarantee, but filing a police report ensures that your incident is documented and may help authorities.
- Monitor your credit report—unusual activity may indicate unauthorized transactions. Identity Theft Protection makes it easy to help protect your identity with credit monitoring from all three credit reporting bureaus, plus $25,000 Identity Theft Insurance.
- Change passwords at online retailers where you may have established an account using your Discover Card.
