I think quite a few people monitor their accounts, but what comes as a surprise is that they can get charged after expiration.

I have checked my cardholder agreement with Visa, and can find nothing about this "convenience" of continuing to allow a recurring charge after a card has expired. Although, I will say I'm not ungrateful it's there as changing a whole bunch of such charges is not something I would look forward to.

After noticing banks/card issuers have done this, I have treated the expiration date as affecting new purchases only.
