This month Experian and Transunion corrected my name to my new last name. Will discover be able to find me with my new last name and birthday or should we order an additional card with my old last name? He has excellent credit and this card would help my credit.
I would make sure your EQ is updated as this is what Discover normally pulls. You may want to ask him who Discover pulled when he got the card.

Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it!!!!!
I sent mine in via fax and it was updated within a week. I would call them and get their fax #.
