Renewal and Replacement Cards

Renewal cards

Renewal cards are issued automatically through Card Program Services. All Corporate Cards display an expiration date (mm/yy) on the front of the card. The card expires on the last day of the month that appears on the card. Cardholders business managers receive an email from Card Program Services approximately four weeks prior to the scheduled expiration of their cards. These emails inform the business managers of the upcoming card expirations and will request shipping information for the cardholder. Cardholders who have not used their cards within the last year will not automatically receive renewal cards. For these cardholders, the departmental business managers should contact Corporate Card Services to request a renewal card be reissued.

Replacement cards

A replacement card is issued when a Corporate Card has been lost/stolen or when fraudulent activity has occurred or is suspected on a Corporate Card account. Replacement cards must be requested through Card Program Services and are processed within five to seven business days. Email notifications are sent to business managers when replacement cards are available for Federal Express shipping.
