# Why Are Card Campaigns Delivered After the Expiration Time?

> Understand why MoEngage Card campaigns may appear after their expected expiry. Card expiry is calculated from the delivery time, not the send time.

## Explanation

* A Card campaign remains visible in the inbox the day after it is delivered, regardless of a 1-day expiry date.
* The card is expected to expire at midnight on the same day it is received or 24 hours after its initial sending time.

The following screenshot shows **Card expiry** settings:

## Example

* If you send a Card campaign on May 7, 2024, at 12:15:30 and it is delivered at 12:35:44 on the same day, you might expect it to expire on May 8, 2024, at 12:15:30.
* However, in MoEngage, it will expire on May 8, 2024, at 12:35:44.

<Info>
  In MoEngage, card expiration is determined through calculations based on the delivery time.
