When there are two numbers on any credit card, e.g. 06/12, it always means month/year (MM/YY), never month/day (MM/DD).

It sounds like they haven't activated your account yet. As Zero9 said, you can wait for the physical card to arrive, or call the toll-free number you were directed to call when they declined your purchase to try & get the operator to activate the account.
