What you can do with Discover:
- Check your Social Security number and New Account alerts. You’ll get an alert if we find your Social Security number on any of thousands of risky websites, or if any new accounts show up on your credit report. [View Page]
- Track your FICO® Credit Scorecard for free. [View Page]
- Switch your account on or off with Freeze it® to prevent new purchases any time you misplace your card. [View Page]
- Keep your mobile phone number and email address up to date so we can alert you of any suspicious activity.
And remember—no matter what—you’re never held responsible for unauthorized purchases on your Discover card account.
Additional steps you can take:
1. Order and review your free annual credit reports. [View Site]
2. Update your passwords. [View Resource Page]
