"Your credit card is about to expire" error every time I try to purchase an app in App Store

I fixed it by adding another card .deleting the old card and then readding the old card and deleting the new card I used .its a hassle but it is a easy fix until Apple figures it out

Here is what worked for me: I logged into my Apple id through Safari (browser) on my iPad and I added a new payment method, then removed the card it was giving me the false error on, then re-added it back and saved. Wallah it stopped giving me the error message after that.

Ok I think I got it working.

I went to Payments and Delivery in Profile, removed card and added PayPal so any subscriptions would not block the removal of the card.

I then removed the card from Payments and Delivery, went to Wallet in Settings and removed the card also.

I then re-added the card to Wallet (after 10mins or so) and enabled for ApplePay.

I then re-added the card in Payments and Delivery, and Linked to ApplePay.

I’ve still got PayPal there but it listed second so the Card is used first. I’ll remove PayPal soon, once I’m totally convinced it’s all good.

I got it to work!!! I removed from wallet, the went into Apple ID, payment & shipping. It still has the visa there went into that had to reenter expiration date. It work

I literally just did a text chat with an apple agent, who advised me to add a card to my Apple ID account on apple.com. I added an extra one which allowed me to remove my original one and re-add it. Sign in with your Apple ID on apple.com, go to payments and change the credit card information there.

I was suspicious of something like a virus too. I received emails and couldn’t make in-app purchases. Today, I could not even re-install old apps. However, this worked for me: I had subscriptions, so I couldn’t remove the payment method. But I could remove the card from Apple Wallet. Then when I went back into the App Store, it showed that the expiry date for my card was now missing. I could then update that information and THEN added the card back to Apple Wallet. For the moment, all seems to be working again.

No you don’t. You need to go to Apple ID payments and add another card. It can be a debit card, does not have to be a credit card. Then remove that credit card both there and from Apple wallet. Then add it back in in Apple ID (on the settings page). Then add it back in in apple wallet. You can just click on previous cards there and select. You have to use another card in order to delete that card if you have subscriptions. But you can remove that second card as soon as you reinstall your credit card.

I did this and it worked. I had to add another card as my current card couldn't be deleted as it was the only card linked. So I added another card, re-added the card I want to use and deleted the other one. I was able to make a purchase. As per the above user's suggestion, I haven't and won't link the card until it has been resolved. I will echo the sentiments of others that given it seems that some users were having issues earlier, a solution or at least an acknowledgment of the problem would have been nice.

Try this for anyone in similar situation as me. My credit card expired in 27’ so I had “27” but I changed it to “2027” and That fixed It. Hope this helps someone else.

I had the same issue. This worked for me.

Open Settings>Apple ID> Payment & Shipping.

Here you will see the "expired" credit card.

I just hit "link" card and it reloaded my credit card.

No more issue.

I just spoke to the Apple team about this issue. The solution is to first add a new payment (must not be your current card with just an updated expiration date). Paypal is a quick alternative if you have this, or just another card. Then you can delete the 'old' card and then add it again with the updated expiration date (must be 4 digits... EG 2028 instead of 28). You can then delete the alternative payment (Paypal or other) again f you like.

WHAT WORKED FOR ME: my first thought was to remove the card & re-add it, but because I have a subscription (2TB iCloud), I was unable to remove the card as you HAVE to have one on file if you have any active subscriptions. If you don’t have any subscriptions, simply delete the card & re-add it. If you do:

1. add a SECOND card to your payment methods (so you will now have 2 cards saved)
2. remove the “expired” card (so now the only payment method should be the card you just added)
3. re-add the “expired” card to your payment methods (you will have 2 cards again)
4. remove the “new” card you added (now you will be back to the original card & shouldn’t receive an error saying it’s expiring soon)

I don’t work for Apple or anything, so it may not work for everyone. It worked for me though so I wanted to share & hopefully help those having the same issue I was.

I had my apple tv+ come up as expired because of the credit card issues. I went into the update payment area and removed the card and re-entered the card information. It again hit me with your card has expired. I then realized that the year used to be in a 2 digit format i.e. 28 for 2028, now it needs all 4 numbers to work. I did it one more time using 2028 instead of 28 as the expiration date and all is fixed. I hope that helps someone.

I had the issue and tried the remove and add advice. Nope. Finally had to go through the bank because that was the only way it would verify my card in wallet or app store. That took an hour and a half on hold for 3 people…. but they fixed it, and all is well. The tech said they were doing this all day and it had something to do with Apple not “seeing” the agreement page.

Thanks, Dahveed! I had to add a different card to delete the card with the error. Then I went back and added the original card with the error and deleted my placeholder card. So odd this is happening though. My original card was not expired either.
