Take care to destroy your old credit cards properly. As long as your account is in good standing and the card issuer hasn’t made a product change, your account is still active, but you cannot use it until a replacement card arrives with a new expiration date and CVC code. When a credit card expires, it doesn’t mean that your account is closed. Your new card will feature a new expiration date and card verification value, known as a CVC or CVV security code, but in most cases the card number will stay the same. Generally, credit card issuers will automatically mail a replacement card up to 60 days before the expiration date. If your card’s expiration date reads as 05/26, the card is active through the last day of May 2026. Card issuers list expiration dates using a two-digit month/year format. Where is my credit card’s expiration date?Įxpiration dates typically appear on the front or bank of credit cards. If your credit card is declined, an expired card could be the culprit. The expiration date listed on your credit card doesn’t mean your account is closed after that date, but the card is no longer usable. Most credit cards are set to expire after three to five years, depending on the issuer, to protect against general wear-and-tear and potential fraud. What the expiration date means on your credit card Knowing your credit card expiration date and what to do before it expires can ensure continuity of any recurring payments, and not leave you without an active card account to use for purchases. When you use a credit card for purchases, retailers and businesses may ask for its expiration date and security code (also known as your card verification code or CVC/CVV) to ensure it’s valid.
