Misplaced Your Credit Card? Freeze It℠ with Discover

Have you ever misplaced one of your credit cards? It’s not a good feeling! I’ve only done it a handful of times but each time it has sent me into a panic. My mind starts racing as I rack my brain — Did I leave it at the store? What if someone stole it? Where did I use it last? Should I call my credit card company to cancel it?? Thankfully, I’ve always been able to find the missing card pretty quickly. It’s usually in my jeans pocket or car console, but what if it wasn’t in such a predictable place? It’s such a pain to have to call in and cancel it, especially if you end up just finding it later. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an easier option?

Discover Card Freeze It Feature

Introducing Freeze It℠ from Discover Card. This new feature acts like an on/off switch to stop new purchases on your Discover account. It gives you time to find your card without having to worry about canceling it right away. You can freeze your card from a mobile device, computer or over the phone. Simply turn your card off, and then when you find it, switch it back on! How cool is that? Discover is the only major credit card issuer to provide this free feature on mobile and online.

Main Features of Freeze It:

  • Provides an on/off switch for new purchases, cash advances and balance transfers on a card
  • Can be easily activated from a mobile device, online or by calling 1-800-DISCOVER
  • Sends alerts to cardmembers if a transaction is declined while their accounts are frozen
  • Allows some account activity to continue such as bills marked as recurring by the merchants, returns, rewards redemptions, etc.

So what if your card really has been lost or stolen? Just like before, you can call in and cancel it and Discover will send you a replacement card free of charge.

Discover Card Freeze It Feature

Freeze It is that latest security feature to be made available to Discover cardmembers. Other features include 24/7 monitoring of every Discover card purchase for every customer, new chip technology that makes it extremely difficult for fraudsters to counterfeit a Discover card, available email and text alerts when a purchase is made over a cardmember-selected threshold and a $0 Fraud Liability Guarantee so cardmembers never have to worry about being responsible for unauthorized purchases on their Discover cards. It is also worth noting that this feature is not available for Discover business cards.

Have you ever had a time when the Discover Card Freeze It feature would have come in handy?
