Credit Card Expiry

[Hopkirk]

My card expires in 3/11.

Does this mean the 1st or the 31st of March?

[NazNomad]

The card is valid until the last day of the month indicated.

[Hopkirk]

Thanks.

I have had three e mails in four days from Paypal saying it is about to expire, and they worried me.

I hope I don't get e mails constantly until I get my replacement card.

Meke sure it`s a genuine email from paypal. I often get emails saying the same thing.

[Hopkirk]

Yes, I have checked that.

They all say Dear (Hopkirk), and quote the last four digits of my credit card.

I`m glad someone else has this e-mail sent to them, and I`m not sure if I should reply even though they quote the last four digits of my card and address me by my first and last name. We hear so many warnings about how clever these merchants are at getting our money, it makes me very cautious. Are they OK?

[Hopkirk]

You don't have to reply to it.

Go direct to Paypal and log in. You can check there when your card expires (or look in your purse or wallet)

I think their computer has gone mad though. The first e mail wassent at almost midnight, and the second one only five hours later.

[carlton23]

I very seldom use it, so I`ll let it expire anyway.I have a credit card if I want to use it.

Paypal/Ebay do that with cards.

If you want to make sure the site is genuine hover your cursor over any link in the mail. In most cases it will show the site you will go to in the left bottom corner, if you click the link. If the address showing doesn't start with ebay, paypal, theanswerbank or wherever you expect to got to, delete it.
