How To Make Your Discover Card Payment By Mail

1: Detach the payment coupon from your monthly account statement. At the top of your statement you’ll see your total balance, your required monthly minimum payment, and all recent transactions. At the bottom, you’ll find a detachable payment coupon. Tear off this portion of the statement so you can send it in along with your payment.

• Remove the payment coupon carefully to avoid ripping it and losing any important info.

2: Fill out a check or money order with your minimum monthly payment. Provide all the necessary details of your payment, including your name, the day’s date, and the numerical and written amount that the check is worth. Write your account number on the memo line to identify what the payment is for.

• If you’re sending a payment via money order, you’ll also need to sign the front side of the form.
• Never send cash through the mail, as it could easily be intercepted and stolen by a third party.

3: Address your envelope to Discover’s Financial Services department. When providing the recipient information, make sure you put down the address for the main Discover billing office rather than the company headquarters or a regional office. The address for Discover’s Financial Services department is P.O. Box 6103, Carol Stream, IL 60187-6103.

• This address is also conveniently listed on the top of the payment coupon, so you shouldn’t have to worry about forgetting it.
• If you accidentally mail your payment to the wrong place, there’s a chance it may not be processed before the due date.

4: Mail your payment 7-10 business days before it’s due. It’s called “snail mail” for a reason. If you want to be certain that your payment will be received on time, it’s a good idea to send it out at least a week before the listed due date. Otherwise, there’s no telling when it might arrive.

• Keep in mind that the mail doesn’t run on the weekends in some parts of the world. To make sure your payment will be received on time, only include business days in your 7-10 day window.

How To Pay Your Credit card bill with a check

You can mail your check to the address on the payment coupon at the bottom of your credit card statement. If you can’t find this address, mail your check to:

Discover Financial Services
P.O. Box 6103
Carol Stream, Illinois 60197-6103

Note: Please remember to always pay with a personal check, cashier’s check or money order, and never send cash. Please write your account number on the “memo” line, and to avoid late fees, always allow 7-10 days for your payment to reach us. Please include the payment coupon at the bottom of your credit card statement.
