expDate

The expDate element is a child of the card, token, paypage elements, which specifies the expiration date of the card (format: mmyy) and is required for card-not-present transactions.

Although the schema defines the expDate element as an optional child of the card, token, paypage elements, you must submit a value for card-not-present transactions and you should store the expiration date for possible future use. When using a NPT (Network Payment Token) in a Mastercard transaction, use the expiration date of the network token even if the date is in the past.
