What happens if you use your credit card after the expiration date?
Typically, credit cards don't work after their expiration date. No one wants to have their card declined while there's a bunch of people behind them in a checkout line—but that's likely what will happen if you try to use your card after it's expired.
Does credit card expiration date matter?
The expiration date for your card serves some very important purposes. Not only do they help keep your information secure, but it also helps to keep you up-to-date on the latest your issuer has to offer and ensures your card is in good condition.
How do you handle expired credit cards?
All you have to do with expired credit and debit cards is cut them up with scissors and throw them away in the trash. Some paper shredders also have a slot for credit and debit cards that makes it easy to destroy them along with other important documents you no longer need.
