Frequently asked questions

While cards with no annual fee can lower the cost of using your card, these credit cards will charge interest and could have other types of fees. When you pay your balance on time and in full at each billing statement, you may be able to avoid paying interest on purchases and reduce the cost of using credit.

 

So while there’s no extra charge each year with a no annual fee credit card, any interest charges on your account are a cost of using credit.

No, there's no limit to how much we'll Match.

 

FICO® scores are three-digit numbers that are calculated based on the information from your credit report. Lenders use FICO scores to assess how risky you are as a borrower, and your score can influence whether you're approved for credit such as credit cards, mortgages and car loans. Your FICO score also affects what interest rate you'll be offered.

No. The FICO® Score and other credit information we provide will never hurt your credit score. In fact, you can check as often as you like – it will never affect your score. Check back every 30 days to see a refreshed score.

Using credit responsibly can improve your FICO score. When you want to raise your credit score, it helps to make payments on time, pay your balance in full, and to use a small percentage of your available credit.

We want you to check your Credit Scorecard without worry, which is why we offer it for free.

 

Nearly all lenders in the US, including Discover, use a FICO® Score among other information when they make their credit decisions, and they have for more than 20 years. We think that everyone should be informed about their credit so that they can avoid surprises.

We monitor thousands of sites on the Dark Web–a hidden area of the Internet where stolen Social Security numbers can be traded or sold for the purposes of identity theft and fraud. If we find your Social Security number, we’ll send you an alert so you can take action.

 

We also monitor your Experian credit report and notify you whenever any new credit inquiry or new account is reported. In most cases, you will probably recognize it as an account you opened. However, if you don’t recognize the account, you can contact Experian for assistance.
