Is there a reason why it took you so long to realise your card had expired....

Yes, I didn't use the card for a few days as I only use it for petrol purchases and I was off work with a minor illness so didn't need to use it until early March, by which time the card had expired, unknown to me.

Thanks too to Dr Cuckoo for your helpful post.

I have both a current account and a cashminder account. The CRA status after a few months (I think about 3) of not using the Cashminder becomes a Z or a U, which I believe is "not classified". It could be that when accounts are considered dormant they don't re-issue cards automatically in case you have moved, or something similar, and hence are not expecting the card and it could thus be intercepted.

It reassures me to know its not your only bank card you have then
