To activate your Discover card in the mobile app, download the official Discover app, log in or register with your account details, and select the activation option shown for your new card. Enter the requested card information, confirm, and wait for the success message.
Steps
- Download the official Discover app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open the app and log in, or register if you're new.
- Look for the card activation prompt on the home screen or in the menu.
- Enter the card details the app asks for.
- Confirm any identity check, such as a code sent to your phone or email.
- Wait for the confirmation message.
- Try a small purchase or check the app to confirm the card is active.
Important Details
- Download only the official app. Check the publisher name before installing, since fake apps exist.
- Keep your card in hand. You'll need details printed on the card and your account information.
- Never share codes. A verification code is for you alone, and Discover will not ask you to read it out to anyone.
- Sign the back of your card. Do this once it's activated, if your card has a signature panel.
