`ACTIVE`	The card has been activated and is ready to be used. For a virtual card, this means that the card details have been viewed.
`REPLACED`	A replacement card has been ordered for this card. For example, if the card has expired. This card has been `REPLACED` and can no longer be used. Any associated digital wallet token has also been `REPLACED`.
