Note: expired credit card may not stop billing
Bank card providers have added a feature where they will automatically update your card’s expiry dates or card information if you get a new card. This is given to companies you have used the card in the past, and especially for recurring subscriptions so that you will not suffer any lapse in service if you forget to update for a given service provider.
Here is one example of how this works from Mastercard. Mastercard Developers
If you want to ensure you do not get charged by ‘accident’, be sure you remove your payment information from any online accounts you no longer wish to use.

A card account updater (CAU) is a service offered by credit card companies and payment gateways to help businesses maintain up-to-date credit and debit card information. When a customer’s payment information changes because of a card’s expiring or being replaced, the CAU automatically updates the card details in the business’s system. CAUs help reduce payment disruptions because of outdated card information and are helpful for businesses that operate with recurring payments or subscriptions.
What is a card account updater (CAU)?
Visa Account Updater (VAU) enables a secure electronic exchange of account information updates between participating Visa card issuers and acquirers for credential-on-file merchants, which enables a more seamless payment process.
When participating issuers re-issue cards, they submit the new account number and expiration date to VAU. Issuers also provide whether an account is closed or a card holder has opt-out out. Participating merchants through their acquirers send inquiries on their credentials-on-file to VAU and are provided with updated card information, if available. This helps participating issuers retain cardholders by maintaining continuity of their payment relationships with participating merchants.

What is an account updater?
An account updater service helps your business automatically update and maintain the latest, most accurate credit and debit card details for your customers.
This is particularly important if your business relies on recurring payments; on charging customers every month, or year, for an ongoing membership or subscription.
A recurring payment is a type of card-on-file transaction. This is when you store your customers’ credit or debit card information ‘on file’ – enabling a quicker, simpler payment experience for the returning customer every time they make a purchase from your business. In industry parlance, these are known as merchant-initiated transactions (payments ‘pulled’ by you, rather than ‘pushed’ by the customer), and they’re generally seen as low-risk, highly convenient ways for you to take recurring payments from your customers.
The only catch? That, as we’ve mentioned, customers’ card details change. This could be for several reasons, including:
A lost, stolen, or damaged card that had to be replaced
Card expiry, or changes to its expiration date
Account changes or closure
At the cardholder’s request (they may have suspected fraudulent activity, changed their name due to marriage or divorce, or simply requested a different card design)
The issuer updating the card’s security features
When card details change (and aren’t updated by the customers themselves), their payments bounce. This payment delinquency leads to subscription interruptions, customer frustration, and – if the stalled payment isn’t dealt with – churn.
By automating the process of updating this payment information, a credit card updater service helps your business avoid these negative repercussions – and their impact on your bottom line.

Users need to cancel automatic renewal 65+ days ahead and delete their billing profile.
Norton sends a notification email before each upcoming annual renewal (usually about 50-65 days ahead), so that you are not caught off-guard. This notification email provides important information, such as the price for the next annual term, and the subscription renewal and billing dates. This helps you to adjust your protection plan according to your needs.
Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless the renewal is canceled before billing. Renewal payments are billed annually (up to 35 days before renewal) or monthly depending on your billing cycle. Annual subscribers will receive an email with the renewal price beforehand.
