When does discover report your account opening to credit bureaus?

Hello all, 

 

I recieved my Discover it  student card in the mail today and activated it this morning. I was just wondering when Discover usually reports the account opening to TransUnion, Equifax, etc. I recently recieved and activated my Barclay Apple Rewards card and that was added to my report before the physical card even arrived in the mail. Any general ideas on this timeframe would be great. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Elle

I think it took around 2-3 weeks for me. I believe I applied around the end of November and it reported around mid December.

I wish I could be more accurate but I got it without a HP, but congrats on your new card!!

Well I applied for my secured account with Discover on Oct 9. When I pulled my credit reports on Nov. 3, it was already there. So less than a month. My first payment wasn't due til Nov. 19.

Yup mine was before the statement cut too.

I was approved on 2/1, and had some issues receiving the card (still in the mail) and saw that it reported around 2/9 to CBs with a account start of 2/1 and 0% util. It was a pre-approval.

This means your first statement was cut on Oct 24th as Discover gives you 25 day grace period (Nov 19th), same day Discover reported to the CBs.
