if you don't want to use the newly applied credit card, you can cancel it directly. There are many ways to cancel a credit card. Generally speaking, banks support the cancellation method:

1. Cancellation at bank outlets: It is the most convenient and safe way to cancel a credit card at a business outlet. Cardholders can cancel their credit cards directly at bank outlets, bring their credit cards and ID cards to be cancelled, and go to the outlets to handle them.

2. Cancel the credit card by phone: In addition to going to the business outlets to cancel the credit card, you can also choose to use the bank customer service phone to cancel the credit card, call the bank customer service phone to transfer the manual service, and ask the bank customer service to cancel it. This way of canceling the credit card is more convenient and faster.

As to whether it will be automatically cancelled if it is not activated, it depends on which bank's credit card you apply for. Some bank credit cards have a time limit for activation. If they are not activated at the expiration date, the bank will be automatically cancelled, and it is not possible to activate them again.
