It is upsetting to see so many Discover cards being shut down.
Definitely. =/
Totally sucks if that's your main card for AU sales.
It's good to have a diversity of cards. Barclay, Capital One, Citi, US Bank, etc. all seem good still.
B of A and now Doscover have both had issues this year.
This is where I have had all my AUs as my card is very old with a high limit. I recently got approved for a second to Discover card in my maiden name to "season." If my old card gets shut down would my new one be at risk too? It's not old enough for AUs and even though it's in my maiden name obviously the ss# and addresses are the same.
No, Chase is the only one that may shut down other accounts; other companies, including Discover, to this point have only shut down the one card, but not other cards you have with them. (Obviously it's their perogative at any point to close any accounts you have with them, so I suppose that's possible, but no other companies have done so historically besides Chase, as mentioned in the OP).
