  • How do I tell which browser I'm using?

    You can tell what browser you are using by:

    • Clicking on the "Help" button on your browser's tool bar
    • Clicking on "About" for the browser and the version will display in that window

  • Why do I get logged off for inactivity after only a brief time?

    Because of security measures, you are logged off due to inactivity so no one can  steal your information.

  • I am getting a "No Cookie Found" error, what can I do?

    So that you can securely log in to the Account Center, a small file, called a cookie, needs to be placed on your computer. You may need to change your Internet options to allow this to happen.

    3. Select the "Privacy" tab at the top of the "Internet Options" page
    4. If you see a slide bar, make sure it is set to "Medium." If you do not see a slide bar, click on "Default" so that you may set the slide bar to "Medium."
    5. Click on the "Sites" button below the slide bar.
    6. Type "Discover.com" in the "Address of Website" field and click on the "Allow" button on the right. Then type "Discovercard.com" in the "Address of Website" field and click on the "Allow" button again.
