Don't get a Discover Card, please, if you value your time and sanity
I am appalled at the treatment my daughter and I received, over the last three months, before I closed/cancelled my Discover card on January 2nd. I am 92 years old and have had my Discover card for many, many years. My daughter, through a conference call, helped me file a dispute, on October 1, 2022, regarding almost 20 charities that had fraudulently charged my Discover card, over the last year. I thought that Discover was doing a thorough investigation and at first, felt really good how they were handling it, but the problem was, since October 1, Discover could not stop the charities from charging my card, so I had to keep getting new cards (four, overall) which all involved numerous calls, with us waiting over and over, again for the right department. . .Discover can check my account and the 15 people we talked to, over those three months of their so-called investigation, between October and December, but still they could not stop the fraudulent charges! However, Discover did DENY my auto insurance recurring charges and they denied my auto registration! So they didn't stop the fraud, but they stopped my legitimate charges. And further, I NEVER HEARD BACK about my disputes, even though we called and called, for updates. The charges were just slammed back onto my Discover card. Specifically, we had called in December and spoke with Colleen and Ally and still, they said there was no news about the "investigation." Well, our last call was on January 2nd, after they had put all the charges back onto my account (which they back dated to November 12th, apparently) and we first spoke with Carolyn (customer service), who kindly cancelled my Discover card, but then we were transferred to Tyra (fraud), who STILL could not give us any information on my disputes. She supposedly was talking to a manager that was looking at my account, who she said would come on the line, and my daughter and I waited 35 MINUTES for that doggone manager, who never came on the line!!!!! We had been on our conference call with Discover for 2 HOURS, so we finally hung up, disgusted with the way Discover has handled this whole situation. My daughter and I will bad mouth Discover, to whoever will listen. I know most people don't care, but shame on Discover and watch out!!!
