Assuming we talk about some period in future, which continues (either indefinitely or infinitely long) is there any difference in use between "from" and "from .. on"? E.g:

  1. The card is valid from June 20th
  2. The card is valid from June 20th on

Are both variants equally valid and can be used interchangeably in this context?

There is no difference in meaning.

People often add the prepositions on or onwards to such statements for emphasis.

Sentence 1 has the merit of crispness and brevity. But you will frequently come across the use of the final preposition after a date or time, more in speech than in communications from financial institutions.
