I think he is cheating. I think you know this but just needed someone to verify it.
A woman’s instinct is rarely wrong in these cases . Sometimes we pick up on subtle things  that signal danger but we may not even know why. The card and the fact that he is spending less time with you are  pretty obvious signs!
What really has me convinced is the fact that he didn’t move in with you, but moved away. He was not willing to make a commitment to you.
That card alone is a direct reason to believe he is not being honest with you, it is just hard to face.
I suggest you let him know that you know he is cheating. Ask if he is wanting to end it.
I suggest you do this via email. Most people faced in this situation will most likely be honest if they are not having to have a face to face conversion.  
In this email tell him that you are giving him the opportunity to be honest and do the right thing. Tell him that you have a right to knowing and that he can’t have both worlds. He has to make a decision.  
I know this is hard but is is better to find out now and move on.
If he is and you need someone to talk to, write me back anytime!

Is he/she cheating? The signs of a cheater are obvious if you know what to look for. If you think your mate is cheating ask me. I can also help you heal after being cheated on. If you are thinking about cheating but need help so you will NOT, I can try and help you. Please do NOT ask me how to cheat and get away with it. Cheating is hurtful and I do not condone it.

Experience

I have spent years studying relationships. I also have done some research on why people cheat and what to look for if you think they are.
