Credit card help! "Valid from?"?

Question

Okay, I'm signing up for something (a membership) with a debit card, and there are these 2 fields that are confusing me. There's one field that says "valid from" field and then you enter a month and a date, and then there's an "expiry date" field and you enter a month and a year. I understand the "expiry date" thing, but what is the "valid from" field for? Thanks.

Answer 1

If your card does not have a Valid From field just try putting 04/05.....I don't know two years ago. If it goes through I guess you are OK?
