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

Hello, I had this similar issue where my card is not expired for several more years but it’s saying it is expired with the software update, and came here to share the solution that fixed the problem for me because the Payment team is not open over the weekend or Holiday either. I deleted my card from Wallet first.

Try going to Apple ID > Media & Purchases > View Account > Manage Payments > Edit > delete that card and re-enter it. I hope that helps!

As of this morning, January 1, the site was allowing you to delete a card even if you have subscriptions. I then added the same card back in and it worked.

I worked around it by setting PayPal up as my default payment. It is the same credit card but didn't experience the glitch. Good luck.

Thanks for adding that caveat. In my case, I had already added Paypal as a secondary payment method before I contacted Apple Support so I didn’t have the problem of having only one payment method on file when deleting and readding my credit card.

MarigoldK’s solutions works for me. Logged in via a browser to my AppleID account. Deleted and re-added my card there.

Just fixed my husbands.

remove from wallet in settings. Then remove from payments and shipping. Then add back to both. Make sure you put the full year not just the last two digits. Ex- 2027

I had the same issue. My card is set to expire March. I tried updating, no luck. Tried removing and readding, no luck. I did however, have successs when I signed in with my PayPal account. PayPal is easy to set up and I use that Method for a lot of purchases. Never any issues. So this may be an option. :)

This was my dilemma as well!! To work around it, you can either: A. add a second card so you’re able to remove the “expired” one, re-add it, then remove the new one, or B. cancel the subscription, remove the card, re-add it, & you can then resume your subscription 😊

I had this issue as well. Received a couple emails about it and ignored them, knowing my card didn’t expire until 2027. Finally decided to look into it tonight. (I used Apple Pay at a local store successfully this morning, too.)

When I looked into Settings > Apple ID (top button) > Payment & Shipping, it said my card had expired — which, of course, it hadn’t. I could not simply edit the expiration date of the card by going into the Edit menu, either.

Apple Support told me via text to delete and re-add it. I told them this wasn’t my problem so why should I have to do that? In the time it took them to reply, I googled it and found this hairy thread. I told the rep about it and they said “Apple has received reports of this issues [sic] and it is currently under review”:

In the meantime, I deleted and re-added within Settings without a hitch — and this was my only payment method and I have three active subscriptions:

I also re-linked my card to Apple Pay.

Doesn’t seem to be linked only to the expiration year 2027. Perhaps it’s US Bank cards? Visa? Cards with pictures of puppies on them?

I just downloaded a few apps from the App Store and have had no issues there; I’ll report back if I encounter another problem.

I was having trouble with App Store purchases, and couldn't update my card details, supposedly, because of Family Sharing. I couldn't remove my expired card, or re-add it. BUt after removing and adding it to Wallet on iPhone, I was able to then go into my Apple ID Payment details and, instead of updating or removing/re-adding, I linked it to my Apple Pay Wallet card, and then the problem went away. But not before I had canceled Family Sharing. I re-enabled Family Sharing, but now I worry that weird things will happen to my spouse's devices and apps.

Had the same issue. Lucky I have a PayPal account. Add PayPal as your payment method, remove your current CC, and re-add and link it. It worked for me. If yiu don’t have a second credit card, add debit or create a PayPal account

Update. I went in as suggested and removed the card from the wallet in settings and traded it and boom, fixed.

thank you!!

I solved the issue for myself I was able to add my paypal account as a payment method and remove my card and the re add it and it now works!

It’s just Apple wanting you to remove and add it all over again! I added a different card, removed the “expired card” and then added it back on! It worked out just fine!

I finally changed my credit card to a different card and it worked. I wonder if it’s a problem with a specific bank.
