Everything on this page happens on the **Virtual Cards Dashboard** - each card’s action menu (⋮) is the entry point.

*** ### Editing a card You can edit certain details on a virtual card after creation - useful when a booking changes or a supplier’s timing slips. **When to edit:** the booking value has increased (raise the limit); the supplier needs more time (extend the expiry and update the Estimated Charge Date so your exposure figures stay accurate); or you want better reference details for reconciliation. **What can be edited:** card name/reference, spend limit (increase or decrease), expiry date, Estimated Charge Date, description. On a single-use card, the amount can be updated any time before the card is used. :warning: **The rules:** * Once charges have been taken, some fields become restricted. * You cannot reduce the limit below the amount already authorised or captured. * Increasing the spend limit allows additional payments on the same card - treat increases with the same care as issuing a new card. * An expired card cannot be edited - issue a new one if the supplier still needs to charge.

### Blocking an unused card If a card is no longer required - for example the booking has been cancelled, or the card details may have been exposed - an unused card can be **blocked**: open the card’s action menu (⋮) and select **Block Card**.

**Blocking is permanent.** The confirmation warns you: the action cannot be undone, the card is permanently blocked, and no further charges will be possible. Where uncertain, reduce the limit or allow the card to expire instead. ### Monitoring a card: Logs Every card keeps a log of its authorisation attempts. Open it from the card’s arrow (>) **→ Charge Details(⋮) → Logs**. Consult the log first when verifying whether a supplier has attempted a charge, or when investigating a problem.

### Raising a dispute From the card’s Charge Details (>), select **Raise Dispute**. This opens a pre-addressed email in your mail app creating a ticket with Travel Ledger support - include the charge details and what you believe is wrong. ### Card statuses

Status	Meaning
Unused	Issued, no charges taken yet
Used	Charged, still within its allowed charges
Closed	Its charging life is over - charges used up or validity ended

The **Valid From / Valid To** columns show each card’s active window.
