HIlraious. It looks similar to my DIscover Classic card when I first opened it in 1999, minus the embossing, of course. Black, Gold...what is old is new again it seems. I like the new gold colour but I really love my retro Dawn Of Discover More card.

Will freezing a card to order a new design cause any problems with my account? I have also reached the maximum number of designs allowed I would love to get the pride one which has now only became an option since I switched over to regular it.
I hate calling in to any customer service reps no matter how nice they are, and that is what my account says to do if I want a new card color.
I got a new blue one 1-2 weeks ago even though I am over the limit by asking over chat but it seemed like it was a big process for the online rep because it took around 10-15 minutes with long pauses while they went to find info on requesting card designs.
Anyway I'd love to have a Black disco and the pride one to go in my collection.
That's a good question... I'll speculate that since deactivating a card (what I think you're referring to) is just temporary it probably wouldn't do the trick. Keep in mind that with Discover if you deactivate a card some charges (like recurring charges) will still be approved, so it's not completely 'dead'.
What they call a 'freeze' is when you stop most activity for the overall account for all cards, which doesn't seem like what you want.

All that said, unless there's a security concern nearly anything a Discover phone rep can do a chat rep can also handle. I actually used a chat rep to request a APR reduction, and they were fantastic. I agree that a chat isn't as good as 'self-service' online, but it's still not quite liking having to call, which for the record with Discover isn't bad, either.

It appears that you can only have 4 active cards (and Apple Pay counts as a card). If you're already at 4, you can (1) freeze an existing card and then (2) order another design.
Ahh... so it will work!
This is great to know. I'm still stuck on my original boring blue, but at least there are options for those who like to have a variety.
