Discover...Requires firstborn?

Sheesh!

Applied for "It" and they asked for name of childhood friends, favorite color, upload DL & SSN...and I STILL got, "We'll get back to you if we need a blood or urine sample"!

I was required to give DNA so I spit on the monitor screen.  Haven't heard whether I got the card or whether they got my DNA.

Re: Discover...Requires firstborn?

i got my it card back in july 2014 .... only thing they asked me was to upload a copy of my DL for approval.

 

however my wife applied for the nasa fcu card, they asked her for a lot of stuff, tax forms, bank statements, DL, utility bill..etc...

 

sometimes its a lot of hassle just for a credit card....

Re: Discover...Requires firstborn?

I was being facetious but, they did keep taking me to a couple of windows apparently to verify my identity, far more than any other apps I've completed and lastly to upload ID. It just seemed very, very thorough only to be told...pending further review.

A lot of time what they ask for depends on your credit file.  I just applied and was approved for the NASA credit card and I didn't have to provide one thing.  It also can depend on which loan officer gets your application.
