Card lifecycleCard lifecycle
Virtual cards start active. Physical cards start pending, move to awaiting_activation once issued, and become active when their holder activates them in Slash. POST /v2/cards/{cardId}/pause declines every authorization until POST /v2/cards/{cardId}/unpause. POST /v2/cards/{cardId}/close is permanent. Any card that is not closed can be closed. GET /v2/cards leaves closed cards out unless you ask for status=closed. A virtual card that has never been used can’t be closed, and each account can close a limited number of virtual cards a month. Pause a card instead when you may need it again.
