Can I buy a ticket in advance and keep it stored on my smartcard until I need it?

In the case of products purchased for travel in the All North West, Chester and Blacon Pointer zones they can be purchased and activated at a later date. These are stored for 28 days for activation and up to 3 months to use the product once activated, However NE SmartZone products have a specified start and end date.
