How can I tell if the Web page I am on is secure?

Web pages have two indicators that they are secure:

• A padlock icon at the bottom of the browser window (you can click the padlock to verify the identity of the site to which you are connected)
• A Web address that starts with “https” instead of “http”

These indicators assure you that the page—and your information—is protected. You will always see both when you log in to the Discovercard.com Account Center. If you do not see both of these indicators on the log in page of the Account Center, do not log in to the site and close your browser immediately.

What should I use for my Account Center password?

A good password is easy for you to remember—but hard for somebody else to guess. Avoid using passwords that others might guess, such as a birth date, Social Security Number or pet's name.

Select passwords you'll remember, but try replacing some of the letters with numbers—“secret” might be “s1cr1t,” for example. And mix up your passwords—use different passwords at different Web sites.

Do I need to log out of the Account Center?

Yes, log out by clicking the “Account Center Log Out” link at the top of the page. You’ll see a new page confirming that you've logged out.

If you don’t log out, others using the same computer could potentially access information saved or cached in the memory of the browser. As an extra precaution, close your browser’s window before leaving the computer.

How long does it take to process a balance transfer to my Discover Open Road Card?

When you request a balance transfer, Discover Card makes a payment to your other creditor(s). It may take up to two weeks for them to receive the funds and credit your other account. This means you should make payments to your creditor(s) until the balance transfer is complete to avoid late fees and finance charges. It’s best to contact your other creditor(s) to confirm they have received the balance transfer.

The balance transfer may post to your Discover Card Account at any time within the two-week period. You can check to see if it has posted by logging in to the Account Center and clicking on “View activity since last statement.” Not registered for the Account Center? Register now.
