 TITLE: Why Is My Credit Card Being Declined? CONTENT: 5\\. Your Credit Card Is Expired\n-------------------------------\nYour credit card company will likely send you a new credit card before your current one expires. However, if you moved and forgot to update your address or accidentally continued using your old card, you may get declined.\nThe card may also have been lost in the mail or stolen, so if the expiration date passes and you haven't received a new card, contact your issuer. They can tell you when the card was sent and whether you should wait a little longer, or they can send out another one.\nTo help avoid being declined over an expired card, always update your contact information with your card issuer when you move.
