Unlock a card locked with an admin lock or spending period settings to make it available for spending again.

:::note To increase your account's card limits, please contact Revolut API Support. :::

:::warning If a card has a spending_period set and is locked due to being outside of that period, unlocking the card removes this spending period completely, including the end date.

If you want to unlock such a card but keep its spending period end date:

1. Fetch the card's details.
2. Save the spending_period.end_date and spending_period.end_date_action settings.
3. Unlock the card.
4. Update the card's spending_period by re-adding the saved settings.

:::tip If both start and end dates for the spending period are provided, and the card is locked due to those dates, to unlock such a card, update its spending_period settings instead. :::

A successful unlock changes the card's state to active, and no content is returned in the response.
