1. What should I do if my credit card expires?
There are two ways to deal with it, one is to replace the card with a new one, and the other is to cancel the old card . When a credit card is about to expire, the card issuer will send a brief text message reminder and ask if the credit card needs to be renewed. However, most banks will renew credit cards by default and mail them to the cardholder one month before the card expires.
This new card is exactly the same as the expired card, the amount on the card is the same, and the bill has not changed. It can be activated directly and the points from the old card will be transferred to the new card.
If the cardholder does not want a new card, he can call the bank before the credit card expires to indicate that he wants to cancel the credit card, tell the bank that you do not need to get a new card, and then take the old card to the counter to apply Cancel the credit card, but the amount on the credit card should be paid off before canceling.
2. What to do if the credit card has expired but has not been repaid
In fact, failure to repay the credit card does not affect the renewal of the credit card. Unless the credit card has been frozen or stopped by the bank before renewal, or the cardholder applies to the bank not to renew, the bank will send a new card. If a credit card is not renewed after it expires, the old card can only be used on the last day of the month it expires, but the credit card balance does not have to be paid in full. Generally speaking, just repay according to the bill.
If there is an installment debt, it will always be repaid on a monthly basis, and the cardholder can also repay it in advance in one go or continue to repay it on a monthly basis. But be careful about the repayment method. After all, when a credit card expires, you can't use it to pay off the loan. Repayment can only be made through credit card number transfer, and must be repaid within the specified repayment time.
