A credit card expiration date tells you when the card is no longer valid. After your card expires, you shouldn’t be able to use it, because the issuers should deactivate the credit card when it reaches the expiration date.
Can I get a refund to an expired credit card?
Most of the time, the card issuing bank will allow the refund to process and accept the funds. Refund is issued to an invalid/expired credit card: If your customer has the same card issuer and bank account, then funds will be successfully credited to that account.
What happens if I don’t renew my credit card?
If your credit card is expiring this month, it will continue to work until the end of the month, and a new card should automatically arrive in the mail.

Do unused credit cards hurt your score?
Closing a credit card account — whether it’s unused or active — can hurt your credit score primarily because it reduces the amount of available credit you have. If the card you close has a small credit limit, you may see little or no effect.
Is it better to close a credit card or let it expire?
In general, it’s best to keep unused credit cards open so that you benefit from a longer average credit history and a larger amount of available credit. Credit scoring models reward you for having long-standing credit accounts, and for using only a small portion of your credit limit.

Will a replacement credit card have the same number?
A new card will typically have a different expiry date. A replacement credit card only has the same number as the card it’s replacing, if it’s being automatically replaced due to expiration (and then it has the same number but a different exp date).
Is it bad to cancel a credit card you never use?
You’ve likely heard that closing a credit card account could damage your credit score. And while it is generally true that cancelling a credit card can impact your score, that isn’t always the case. Typically, it’s best to leave your credit card accounts open, even if you’re not using them.
Should I close accounts I don’t use?
Closing an account may save you money in annual fees, or reduce the risk of fraud on those accounts, but closing the wrong accounts could actually harm your credit score. Cards that you don’t use, but charge high annual fees, may be candidates for closure in order to save you money.
Do unused credit cards close automatically?
If you don’t use a credit card for a year or more, the issuer may decide to close the account. In fact, inactivity is one of the most common reasons for account cancellations. When your account is idle, the card issuer makes no money from transaction fees paid by merchants or from interest if you carry a balance.
What happens if I don’t use my credit card for a month?

And on top of that, you’ll still receive a monthly statement if you don’t make any purchases, but there won’t be anything new to pay off.
How often should I use my credit card to keep it active?
