Credit card activation time is generally within the validity period of the card, which is basically between 3-5 years at present. In other words, as long as the credit card has not expired, it can be activated at any time. If it is not activated after expiration, the card will be automatically cancelled and the user needs to apply for a new card.

At the same time, in some banks, when the customer has not activated the credit card after three months, the customer service of the bank will call to ask why. At this time, if it is clearly stated that there is no need to use the card and you don't want to activate the card, the bank will directly cancel the credit card. Therefore, it is recommended to activate the card within 3 months after getting the credit card.
