Credit Card Activation

[Anonymous]

I realized that I scheduled an online purchase to go through on a credit card that hasn't been activated yet (it was a replacement card for my expired card...same account numbers).  Not sure if the purchase was declined or not yet.  I am just wondering if something like this could result in AA or account review or something.  I haven't heard of that happening but I thought I'd ask.

For the purchase I had put down the new updated expiration date and 3 digit code on back of card. I wonder if purchase will go through

it doesn't hurt to call the number to activate the card and then call customer service to see if the charge was approved.

I have never called to activate a replacement card. Cards always still worked fine.

I've had to activate replacement cards.

I'm pretty sure each card has to be activated once received, but as long as the account number/credit card number is the same; the transaction should have gone through.
