You need the card number to create the login. I don't think they will give you the card number over the phone. IIRC, all Discover IT cards come with expedited shipping.

It's against the terms, but it has worked for some people. Note that if there is any problem (cookie didn't track correctly, for example) then you won't have recourse if you used another card for payment. If you used the Discover card and it didn't work, they are usually good about giving credit manually.
Also note that ShopDiscover has been shut down, and replaced by a new portal called Discover Deals. It seems to have many, but not all, of the sites that used to be on ShopDiscover. You should verify that the site you want is still there, rather than relying on anyone's lists.
