When you replace a card because the card has been damaged, or because the cardholder’s name has changed, the old card remains Active until you activate the replacement card. The cardholder may have a status of “Multiple” in the card list.
  • As soon as you activate the new card, the old card is instantly and irreversibly deactivated
  • For this reason, PEX recommends that you only activate the new card after the new card has been delivered and is ready to use
