Active e Inactive e Blocked
After so many years working for a big bank in US, after positive on this one. You can absolutely use "Active" and "Inactive", now there is a big diference between Inactive and Blocked so it depends on the meaning. "Inactive" means that the cards hasn't been activated yet or if an account has no activity for a certain period of time. "Blocked" is a consequence of something that happened, so if a card has suspicious activitity on it then this can cause the card to be purposely blocked.
Example sentence:
Your card has been blocked for suspicious activity.
Your card is inactive because you haven't received it yet.
