    Hi

    My Mastercard is due to expire in July 2015.
    I will be on a long distance hike from April  to November and will be basically every day in another town. So no chance to get the replacement card.
    Is there any chance to get the new card now.
    I know for security reasons its max 3 month before possible to get the new card but there must be exceptions for such cases.

    Thanks

    Hi rudimenter,

    Thanks for contacting us and welcome to Boards.ie

    As you correctly mention, for security reasons, a new card can only be issued 3 months before its expiry date. Your existing credit card will remain active until the the last day of the expiry month. Credit Card Services can send a new card to your home address however you would need to request it within the 3 months. You can contact Credit Card Services on 0818 251 251 / +353 56 7757747

    Thanks

    Hi rudimenter,

    Thanks for your reply. 

    Regrettably, it would not be possible to have a new card issued before this three months period, there would be no exceptions. 

    Please let us know if you need help with any other query. 

    Thanks,
    Sarah
