When you’ll see the alert

An alert appears on your card’s detail page 45 days before the expiry date:

Card expires [month year]. Confirm your delivery address to receive your new card in time.

How to renew your card

  • Click Cards in the sidebar and select the card showing the expiry alert.
  • Choose Confirm address on the alert banner.
  • Review or update your delivery address in the dialog that appears.
  • Confirm to request your replacement card.

After renewal

  • Your card status changes to Renewed.
  • Keep using your current card until the expiry month.
  • A message on the card detail page confirms: “Your new card is on the way.”
  • Once your new card arrives, activate it to start using it.

Common questions

Do I need to do anything or does the card renew automatically?
You need to confirm your delivery address. The replacement card is only requested after you confirm.
Will my new card have the same number?
No. Your replacement card will have a new card number. Update any subscriptions or saved payment methods once you activate it.
What if I miss the renewal alert?
If your card expires without renewal, it stops working. Contact your admin to issue a new card, or reach out to support for help.
