I was told that I could call from my work number or have my supervisor call. Those were the only two options given to me. I am currently working 9.5 hours from my corporate headquarters in a job trailer and my company cell phone does not display company name in caller id. Furthermore, all our offices are closed today and my supervisor is in Ft. Lauderdale. No way to verify employment today. So, you see, not so simple for me.
i have 20K anyway so 21.5 isn't worth all the trouble at this time.
That's crazy. Never heard of verifying employment that way. Usually it's through some type of payroll/HR process but Discover is its own animal I guess. You have a great limit with them at 20k. They kicked me off the train a couple of weeks ago
Yes, having someone clainimg to be your supervisor call seems to give no real information. And at large companies, giving even this to third parties would be frowned on unless going through approved HR channels.
But your boss/owner of company calling from their work phone displaying the name of the company you wrote down at the time of approval, should do it. 
Especially if it's also on all 3 CRA"S.

Yes. Or it could be a friend who works at that company where I no longer work. Just saying not a high level of proof, which makes me wonder why it is worth it for them.
