Discover card protection benefits: the honest answer is none

The honest answer: Discover-branded cards carry no purchase protection, extended warranty, trip delay, cell phone, or return protection. Discover removed all protection benefits in 2018 and nothing has returned. Re-check after the 2026-07-27 Capital One platform migration. Verified against Discover Prime Cardmember Agreement dated 12/31/25 (discover.com) — zero protection-benefit terms.

One wrinkle: Capital One cards on the Discover network

Discover-branded cards carry no purchase protection since the 2018 cuts. (Capital One cards ON the Discover NETWORK are different — those carry benefits per Capital One's 02/01/2026 guide.)
