Discover Activate

  • Cardholders can activate their new cards online
  • Card can be activated with or without logging in

These days replacement credit cards can be issued for a number of reasons (card expiration, new technology, etc.)  While its nice to have a shiny new credit card it can often be a huge hassle for customers to complete the dreaded activation process.  Thankfully for Discover cardholders the activation process can be completed fairly easily at the Discover Activate page.  When activating a new Discover card customers will have the option to complete the activation with or without logging into their account first.  Cardholders that want to complete the Discover Activate process without logging in will need to enter their date of birth, last 4 digits of their Social Security Number, card number, expiration date, and 3 digit Sequence ID. Those that would like to login first will need to sign in with a User ID , Password, and 3 digit Sequence ID.
