# Notifications for Expired or Soon to Expire Credit Card Accounts

- last 4 digits of card that either has or will soon expire
- month/year card expires
- generic 1-800 number (carrier to override)
- generic website address (carrier to override)
- text advising them to either log into their OnlineBill account to update their card expiration date or call the 1-800 number to update
