What happens when my credit card expires?

linzed pyta:
What happens when my credit card expires?

I have a credit card with a relatively low interest rate (13.9%APR). It’s a suntrust visa credit card, and i think it’s designed for students. I just noticed that my credit card expires at the end of the year, though i’ll still be in school for another year or so. What’s going to happen? Will my account be closed when my credit card expires? Will my interest rate go up?
