The table below contains values for the type parameter of the Modify Status endpoint.
Important
Mastercard considers
status: C(canceled) andstatus: Z(canceled without refund) to be permanent statuses. As of 3 Jun 2025, issuers are required to returnresponse_code: 46for accounts or cards in those two statuses. If you reactivate a card or account that was closed, Mastercard could assess penalties for transactions attempted against that card. If you need to temporarily close an account or card to reopen later, usestatus: D(disabled).
Note
A dash (—) means no change in status.
Where the Closes account column shows Yes, it means the value closes the account and sets the active flag to N.
