        <label for="mastercard"></label>
    </div>

    var cct = "mastercard";
    //$('#usercurrentccbox .cardChoice label[for=mastercard]').addClass("active");

    position:relative;
    float:left;
    width:200px;
    height:170px;
    border:1px solid #000;

You seem to be missing a closing ] in your selector.

// corrected
$('#usercurrentccbox .cardChoice label[for="'+cct+'"]').addClass("active");
//                                                  ^ over here
