I think credit cards have an expiration date because it gives them a contractual âoutâ by saying a contract was only for a stated period and not an open-ended contract. The magnetic strip is a bunch of hogwash. The credit card companies do not want to send out millions of cards just because they might wear out.
Credit card expiration dates vary by provider. Often, the more common question consumers ask is Why do credit cards expire at all given that the provider just sends me another one anyway?. Expiration dates provide a number of security and marketing advantages to the banks that issue cards.
