I received an email that said there may be a problem with my Apple subscription payment method, today. Next billing cycle is 9 Oct. I recently changed my Visa card, and just double checked and verified that the new card is loaded. Am I probably fine and the system is just not synched yet?
You are probably fine. As for the email, there is the remote possibility it is phishing.
