Quick answer: for Applying for a new credit card, call Discover at 1-800-347-2683, then say “representative”, then say “apply for a new credit card”, then say “representative”, then say “representative”. When we called on Oct 29, 2026, a real person answered in about 1.5 min. This is the route we tested; for anything else, choose the menu option that matches your issue.
Every option we heard when we called on Oct 29, 2026. There are no keys to press. The line now answers “Discover by Capital One”. It first suggests the website; asking for a representative again puts you on hold for an account manager, then a second short voice menu, and a third “representative” reaches a person.

How we tested this
When: Oct 29, 2026
Calls: 1 test calls
How: OsmO’s AI made real calls to 1-800-347-2683 from United States phone numbers, listened to each menu and explored the options it could safely try. It did not press options that could change an account, so not every option was explored; the menu marks what we did not test. Nothing was typed except test values.
