Debit card due to expire

20122013

One of my debit card's expiry date is 12/25.

From my experience a 'new card' would be posted to me (automatically, ie I do not need to any actions) and until 12/25 or I activate the 'new card' , the current card will still be active and I can still login to the bank using this card? Is this correctt? and is this how all banks (UK) work? Expiry date is 12/25 - is this any date in December 2025?

I think it is usable until the end of December or until you use the new card sooner. I think if you use the new card then the old one stops being active

It will be the end of 12/25. Nobody can confidently predict what every financial institution will do, some of them seem as though they make things up as they go along, but why not ask?

This is another reason why you never leave everything in one bank, if one's bank's admin is rubbish, you're not left high and dry.

*** CORRECTION ***
Just for added confusion, some bank's (well, at least Chase) debit cards do not show the expiry date/number on the card, so when the card expires the expiry date and card number are "renewed" (and can be viewed in the app) but there's no need to replace the physical card.

The card does get replaced, I've misremembered how Chase deal with a card that hasn't been used in the months before expiry.

My Chase card needed a new physical card. It was only when it started getting declined and I messaged them and told me that card had expired.
I asked them how I was supposed to know when its expiry date is not printed on the card and they couldn't answer

I'm a bit surprised they couldn't answer when the easy response is to say that you must have the app and the expiry date is shown there. If you only ever use the card for cardholder present transactions you might not have viewed the card details but if you ever used it for an online purchase you'd have needed the expiry date then.

unless and  until you activate your new card  OR  we reach 31/12/25  you can continue to use the old card
