Every credit card has a validity period, usually 3 to 5 years after it is issued. The validity period is generally printed on the front of the card, with four numbers separated in the middle, with the month in front and the year behind.
If the credit card is not activated within the validity period, it means that the card is invalid, but it does not mean that the credit card will be cancelled. If the card is no longer needed, you still need to cancel the business.
