How to address the envelope

  1. Use the address letter for letter

    Write out Capital One, PO Box 71083, Charlotte, NC 28272-1083 as shown above, including the 28272-1083 postal code, exactly as printed.

  2. Add your return address

    Print your return address in the top-left corner. Without it, an undeliverable letter is simply lost instead of returned to you.

  3. Certified mail, not a courier

    At the counter, certified mail costs a fee on top of the postage and comes with a mailing receipt and a delivery record. The tracking number on the green label is what you follow.

  4. Keep the records

    The postmarked receipt, the tracking record and your signed copy of the letter are the set that proves the request.

The cancellation letter

A plain, dated letter to Discover Card asking for the cancellation, the end of every charge and written confirmation. Have the account email, the last four digits of the linked bank account or card and the membership tier to hand; our letter template fills the same shape in on screen.
