Debit Card Expiry

My card expires 01/21, does that mean I can still use it until the end of January?

    yes, the card is valid until the end of the month.
     I would expect a replacement to have appeared well before that date.

    Yes it will be valid for the month of January but banks do normally send up replacement cards the month before so either you have had one or one is due to land on your doormat any time soon

    of course it may be that it has already been sent but is held up in the post which seems to be log jammed in some places.
    I wouldn't panic...yet. After all you have 31 days of January  and what's left of this month

  • Doesn't it say on the card  'expires end of  01/21 '  ?
  • Nope just says Expiry: 01/21 
  • Just thought I would add this to my existing thread. I now have the new card, is there a reason that my card expires this month, but the new card says valid from 12/20?

    Because once you receive your new card you can start using it straight away & destroy the old card.
    There is usually a overlap between cards.

    Oh right an overlap makes sense.
