# Card Expiring The **_Card Expiring_** event will trigger two (2) months, or 60 days, before the month their credit card expires. This event is most commonly used to trigger a courtesy reminder campaign that proactively reminds customers to update their billing information. This helps proactively prevent failed payments. Most people set up this event to trigger a series of follow-up emails sent from their CRM / Marketing Automation tool to let their customers know they will need to update their card on file. In those emails, be sure to include a link to your **Customer Portal**, where your customers can securely update their info.
