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

Fixed it myself, but needed another card temporarily. Here’s how… Added a new card. Deleted the old card. Re-added my old card. Linked my old card. Deleted the new card. Fixed!

Do it on apple.com. Go to your Apple ID and edit the payment there. I had to add another card in order to be able to correct the primary one. http://appleid.apple.com

As someone suggested, remove/re-add via the iPhone Settings "Wallet" section instead of the Wallet app itself seems to work. I just tried removing the card and re-adding it (easy because it was listed under "previous cards") and this seems to have done the trick. Didn't need to use a computer 🙂

Please stop posting this without reading the thread first. As has been mentioned eleventy times already, this does not work if you have active subscriptions. If you have any active subscriptions, including AppleCare, the only fix is to add an alternative card or PayPal then delete the card on file. If you don’t have either of those things, you’re out of luck until Apple resolves on their end.

Had the same problem, and couldn't remove the payment method because of active subscriptions. I used all of the above (below?) advice, but to get around the active subscription problem first added a different credit card, then removed the old one, then re-added the old one and linked it back to Apple Pay. It worked. I hope that helps others because I was pulling my hair out. Doesn't help anyone with only one credit card though. Apple needs to get their sh*t together on this.

Update: I took my card off .. put it back in and it’s working now. Fingers crossed it keeps working. I did wait about 5-10 minutes before putting it in again. Hope this helps everyone!

Same problem, but here’s what worked for me. Login to your AppleId account and edit the expiry date and CCV code. If you get to your account you will see this is where the expiry notice is originating.

I tried to remove from wallet and add back in, that did not fix it for me but removing from card under Apple ID-Payment&Shipping and re-adding it worked .

Good luck!

I had to go to Settings, Your name Apple ID at the top. Payments and shipping. Delete the card. And then add the card. I had to scan the card, as typing it in did not work the first time. Then manually add the date and code. It also asked if I wanted to connect to Apple Pay, I said yes. Then it worked. So frustrating.

I had to do it through the actual App Store & not through my settings.. so you just go to the App Store, tap your account/profile in the upper left corner, tap your name at the top, then go to “manage payments” & do it that way. Hope this helps!! 😊

Note of caution: Apple Support did help resolve this situation in a seeming very non-Apple and roundabout way by having me temporarily add a DIFFERENT CC in order to add my actual CC, then removing the temporary CC which happened to be my work credit card. I was not able to delete and just re-add my card, kept getting the same error message so the Support person suggested this method. I was assured multiple times by the Support person the temporary cc would not be charged. This morning I get a confirmation of payment made towards the TEMPORARY CC even though my normal regular card now is all Apple has on file. Just got off phone again with Apple Support to feedback on this. Not Support's 'fault' and the initial support was patient and kind. I'm just agog that this is happening with APPLE. Be forewarned about the solution to temporarily add a 2nd card as it may be charged!

If you only have one payment method, it can't be removed until you add another payment method.

Thank you! I was losing my mind over this. Then I saw your post and did the same thing and it worked! Super frustrating though. It had not worked when I deleted and re-added the card on my phone, but when I went to a computer and did it through the browser, it worked.

I did what some people suggested. I went to settings then searched up Wallet & Apple Pay. From there I removed my card and manually added it back. Now it works thankfully. Shoutout to them fr fr 🗣️😩

Removed card from my wallet and re-added it seems to be working now. This is so frustrating.
